Trusted By

From Engineering To Legal Advocacy

I grew up in Cortez, Colorado, near the Four Corners area, surrounded by rich culture and a strong sense of community. After earning my degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder, I moved to Seattle to work as a Geotechnical Engineer on projects across the Puget Sound.

I later followed my passion for law and graduated from Seattle University School of Law. Over the years, I have gained experience in personal injury, business, and environmental law, helping clients find clear and practical solutions to complex legal challenges.

I opened this firm to help people of moderate means access quality legal representation across multiple practice areas. Outside of work, I enjoy music, hiking, kayaking, and spending time with my wife, two daughters, and our Scottish Terrier, Princess Leia.

At Pathfinder Attorneys, my goal is simple: to make quality legal services more accessible.

I founded Pathfinder Attorneys to help individuals and families, especially those with limited financial resources, obtain practical legal advice and representation when they need it most.

In addition to my work at Pathfinder Attorneys, I am also an attorney with Fiore Legal, Inc., where I represent clients in personal injury matters. If you contact me through this website, I will personally review your situation.

Regardless of which firm is appropriate, you will have a direct point of contact from the beginning and guidance toward the representation that best serves your interests.

Legal Support Built Around Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill has changed block by block over the past several years. Light rail brought new density to the neighborhood, and that has fueled a wave of ADU and DADU construction as homeowners look to add rental income or space for family. At the same time, increased pedestrian and transit traffic around the station has created its own set of accident related concerns.

I help Beacon Hill homeowners navigate the real estate and construction questions that come with adding a rental unit or renovating an existing property, and I represent residents injured in accidents around the neighborhood’s busier intersections and transit areas. Understanding how quickly this neighborhood is evolving helps me give advice that actually fits what is happening on the ground.

Results depend on each case’s specific facts. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Zach Hansen did an amazing job helping us resolve our car accident bill. After over two years of trying to get a doctor paid, the team took the case and successfully got everything resolved. I would call them immediately next time. So amazing. Thank you.

Kari H. Bellevue, WA

I had an accident in the summer of 2024, and the team made the entire process so easy from beginning to end. They kept me updated, answered all my questions, gave great advice, and made everything far less stressful. Super professional and genuinely great people. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking legal services.

Liability depends on the specifics, and a property defect, a third party's negligence, or a transit operator's conduct can all be factors.
