The law firm is located in downtown Mount Vernon, Washington- right in the heart of Skagit County.

The firm handles many types of cases including Divorce, Parenting Plans, Establishment of Parentage, Adoptions, and other matters pertaining to the family structure such as Family Owned Businesses, Business Formation, Estate Planning, Wills, Probate and Immigration Issues. 

The firm also strives to be on the forefront of patient protections in the area of Mental Health Care. RCW 71.32.050 provides for Mental Health Advance Directives in the areas of early dementia and Alzheimer's care. Those with diagnoses such as Schizophrenia that may render them intermittently incapable of logical decision making can also benefit from these advance decision making tools while in a state of mind to legally do so.  Both patients and their families can benefit from the peace of mind enabled by these documents.  Please call or email the firm for an appointment to discuss these new and exciting developments in Washington State law. 

Our work is generally centered in Skagit County, however we do work in other counties by request.  Recently that less local work has been in Island County, Whatcom County, King County and in the Courts of the Lummi Nation.

The first thing this firm does with all potential clients is sit down for a face to face meeting in the form of a consultation, which is in some cases free.  This gives the potential client a chance to meet their potential attorney and determine if this is someone they are willing to trust with such important and emotional matters as those the firm handles. 

This also gives the firm a chance to determine if we want to work with you as a client.  We do not take all cases that are offered to us.  Sometimes personalities do not mesh, and sometimes the firm has a potential conflict with your case.  If it happens that we consider another attorney more appropriate for you needs, we will refer you to their office.
