Ephrata Lawyers

I grew up in Montana working in my family's construction company, and moved to Spokane to attend Gonzaga University. I loved the area and I'm glad to call the Inland Northwest my home together with my wife and four children. When I'm not in court or helping clients, I'm usually riding motorcycles or playing soccer with my kids. I love being a lawyer, and little makes me happier than the chance to help a client set things right after they have been taken advantage of or injured by someone who refuses to take responsibility.
