I have been a practicing family law attorney since 1995, initially focusing on litigation. In 2003, I founded the Collaborative Law professional community in Washington State, which has since grown dramatically, as exhibited by the many Collaborative Law groups and associations that currently exist within the state. In 2006 I transitioned her practice to exclusively collaborative or cooperative cases and mediation. I have frequently presented on Collaborative Law to various legal and non-legal groups, and have been regularly training professionals on the Collaborative Law model since 2006.
