Practice Areas: Uncontested Divorce
I've been a divorce attorney since December 1996. After just a few years of practice, it was clear that my heart wasn't in litigation but rather in helping clients achieve win-win settlement. My goal in every case is to help people resolve conflict without hurting each other and, most importantly, without hurting their children. I find that divorce with love is possible. There's both an art and a science to it. It takes years to become skilled as a collaborative attorney or as a mediator. I devoted myself to developing those skills because I love this work. It's particularly gratifying when a client has children because amicable settlement typically means a much better result for them. If you've made a contribution toward preventing a child from experiencing the heartbreak that happens when parents divorce poorly, you've done something truly worthwhile.

I have lived in Bellingham since 1992, when I came to attend WWU. I am originally from the east coast and was born in New York and raised in Westchester County until age 12, when I moved to rural Lewis County, but I spent my summers in the City and on the east coast. As a result, I have a particularly unique understanding of small town and big city issues, politics and customs.. I cut my legal teeth as a prosecutor intern in college and law school, trying cases in Whatcom County, as well as Lane County (Eugene) and Douglas County (Roseburg) Oregon. I ultimately was appointed Assistant Chief Criminal Deputy and managed a division of the prosecutor's office, with four attorneys and four support-staff, while maintaining a full caseload of approximately 1000 cases a year.. In 2006 I moved into private practice at Belcher Swanson, and focused on civil litigation. My trial and critical thinking skills gained as a prosecutor melded well with my current practice of commercial, real estate and land use litigation.. In my personal time I focus on spending quality time with my adolescent son. One of our favorite past times is boating, exploring and fishing in the San Juan Islands and beyond. I am an avid fisherman and annually head to the West coast of Vancouver Island to fish for any species I'm allowed to catch.
