I counsel real estate and construction clients on an array of legal concerns, including claims and disputes, as well as assist in the drafting and negotiation of construction contracts and change orders. When litigation is necessary, my goal is to guide each client as efficiently and strategically as possible through the many stages of the litigation process.Before joining Schwabe, I worked for a Seattle-based law firm for five years and specialized in real estate, construction, and general litigation disputes. I also spent one year working for a general practice law firm in eastern Washington.During law school, I was a member of the Gonzaga Law Review and authored several articles related to new developments in the law governing various types of contracts.
