About Phil
I chose to pursue a legal career because it allows me to help clients find practical solutions to real world challenges. I find it satisfying to strategize and reach business solutions which benefit my clients. Closely interacting with clients and understanding their needs underlies everything I do. It is very satisfying to finalize a deal, resolve a dispute, or devise a legal strategy that benefits my clients and reflects the outcome that they want. My practice has given me the opportunity to serve clients in a variety of settings. Although my current focus is on business transactional work, I also have experience in litigation so I understand how to deal with and, if possible, avoid legal conflicts. My broad experience allows me to successfully pursue my client-focused practice.
After graduating from law school in California, I decided to relocate to Washington. I have family in Washington and have always loved the beauty of the state. I enjoy hiking and snowboarding in my free-time. Washington’s outdoor lifestyle and Seattle’s sophisticated business environment make it a perfect place to practice law and thrive.
