CIVIL APPEALS AND LITIGATION

I have been a member of the Washington State Bar Association for over forty years.  My practice involves general civil law including civil property seizure and forfeiture.  Emphasized areas are appellate law, education law, and employment  law.  The scope of my practice also includes business law, land use, civil rights, discrimination, harassment, First Amendment claims and work before the Washington State Gambling Commission.  I have extensive experience in trial work, arbitration, administrative hearings and appeals before various courts and agencies in both state and federal forums.  I am focusing my practice now on appellate law which includes the above identified areas.  Below are some representative appellate cases with which I have been associated.
