I have practiced law in Washington State for almost twenty five years, independently most of the time. While there may be some advantages in working for a firm, for me, the flexibility and freedom provided by being a sole-practitioner are very important. On occasion, I associate colleagues on cases. |
|
Today, my practice consists primarily of small business matters and civil litigation (plaintiff's personal injury, business, property). |
