With both state and federal trial experience, I am adept at the various stages of litigation and counsel my clients on a variety of employment concerns. Recognizing that my clients constantly face novel legal issues, my goal is to help them understand their obligations while finding practical business solutions.Prior to joining Schwabe, I worked at a boutique litigation firm in Portland, Oregon. Before attending law school, I was a professional fundraiser for nonprofit organizations.
