I recently earned the 2024 APEX award from the Washington State Bar Association for professionalism. Per the WSBA, “The Professionalism Award is awarded to a WSBA member who exemplifies the spirit of professionalism in the practice of law, as defined in the WSBA’s Creed of Professionalism.”

I have always strived to be an example of professionalism, no matter if it is in my work in the military, or my work as an attorney here at home. I also encourage my staff to do the same, BE that example of professionalism so that our clients can know that they are being cared for as they deserve.
