“The only thing
necessary for the
triumph of evil is for
good men to do
nothing.”
Edmund Burke.
Housing Discrimination: Illegal housing discrimination is the practice
of treating individuals unfairly in housing matters based on certain
protected characteristics. This includes denying someone housing,
offering different terms, or providing unequal services due to
characteristics like race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial
status, or disability. laws at the federal, state and local level prohibit
such discrimination in any housing transaction, including sales, rentals,
lending, and insurance. We all have the right to choose housing free
from discriminatory practices.
Eviction Defense: If a landlord wants to remove a tenant from the
tenant’s property, the landlord must go to court to do so. There are legal
ways tenants can fight or delay an eviction case from their landlord
which can include explaining how their landlord did not follow the rules,
questioning the reason for eviction, claiming the landlord did not take
care of the property, or saying the eviction is done in retaliation.
HOA Disputes: More and more of us are living in communities
governed by homeowners associations (HOAs). Disputes frequently
arise between homeowners and their association, or among residents,
about community rules, property management, or related issues. These
range from parking violations to disagreements over maintenance,
guidelines, or fees. Our office helps homeowners in disputes with their
HOA.
Probate: Probate is the legal procedure following someone's death to validate a will, appoint a personal
representative, settle debts and taxes, and distribute assets as outlined in the will. If there is no will, probate
follows intestate succession laws, which determine asset distribution among family members regardless of
individual wishes. We only handle probates in Washington. Contrary to popular horror stories about probate, the
probate process in Washington is usually very simple and straightforward.
Employment Discrimination: Illegal employment discrimination is the unfair treatment of job applicants or
employees based on certain characteristics, rather than their qualifications or job performance. This can include
actions like biased hiring, unequal pay, or denial of promotions. Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination
based on characteristics like race, gender, religion, age, and disability.
Wrongful Termination: Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for an illegal reason,
violating employment laws, public policy, or a contract. This can include firing someone due to discrimination,
retaliation for protected activities, or breaching an employment agreement.
Wage & Hour Disputes: Wage and hour disputes may involve claims of unpaid wages, incorrect overtime pay,
or other violations of wage and hour laws.

We limit the number of cases we handle at any time so that we can dedicate
our time, energy, attention, and resources to getting the best results
possible for our clients. This approach ensures that each case receives the
personalized focus and advocacy it deserves, aligning with our commitment
to justice and equality.
Foreclosure: Foreclosure is a legal process where a lender takes
possession of a property after the borrower fails to make mortgage
payments. Our office assists people in understanding their rights in the
foreclosure process, and sometimes helping them defend against a
foreclosure.
Wills: A will, or last will and testament, is a legal document that directs how assets you own are distributed after
your death. It names someone to handle your estate, and may appoint a guardian for minor children, ensuring
your wishes are followed regarding possessions, pets, and dependents.
Trusts: A trust's purpose is to hold and manage your assets for the benefit of designated beneficiaries (your
family, yourself, etc.), often with specific instructions on how and when those assets are to be distributed. It can
protect assets, aid in tax planning, address special needs, and control how and when your beneficiaries receive
distributions.
Power of Attorney: A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that permits you to name an individual (the
agent or attorney-in-fact) to act on your behalf in specific circumstances. This authorization may be made for
financial, medical, or other legal matters. POA becomes valid upon signing and can be revoked or adjusted by
you at any time, provided you remain mentally competent. It cannot be used to change your will, act against your
best interests, or make decisions after your death.
Healthcare Directive: A health care directive, also referred to as a living will or advance directive, is a legally
binding document that takes effect if you are incapacitated. It sets forth your preferences regarding medical
treatment, and can also name a trusted person to make healthcare decisions on your behalf while you are
incapacitated.
