About
I graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1993, after working as a ranch hand, baker and mental health counselor. I was fortunate to spend twenty-two years with the Seattle law firm MacDonald Hoague & Bayless - a wonderful place that truly worked to advance justice and goodness. In 2015, I formed a firm to specialize in my favorite practice area -- helping people who have been denied short-term disability and long-term disability benefits. Most of these cases fall under the federal law known as "ERISA." My practice is now 100% devoted to this area of the law. I like it. I litigate against the major disability insurance companies, including Prudential, Hartford, New York Life, CIGNA, Unum, Aetna and others. I represent people with a broad range of disabling conditions. For more information about my ERISA disability benefits practice, please visit my website, easily found with any search engine.
