I began my legal career focusing primarily on criminal defense matters, with some family law cases as well. After spending five years practicing in Eugene, I relocated to Hillsboro and continued criminal defense work and practiced general civil litigation, prior to joining a firm in Downtown Portland and practicing solely family law for the past seventeen years. While it is always my goal to settle cases, I have litigated many cases over the past 24 years in various jurisdictions all over the State of Oregon. After being employed in Downtown Portland I am pleased to be back out on the Westside.
Personal
During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters, coaching softball, golfing, traveling and trying new restaurants.
