PERSONAL INJURY AND BUSINESS LAW ATTORNEY SERVING BURIEN

At Pathfinder Attorneys, you work directly with an attorney who provides clear, practical legal support in business law, estate planning, real estate, personal injury, civil disputes, and contract matters. Serving Burien and the surrounding South King County area, I believe the law should be understandable, approachable, and built around real people and their needs.

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 Burien

Burien sits right next to Sea-Tac International Airport, and that changes the kind of legal issues residents and business owners deal with on a regular basis. Ambaum Boulevard and 1st Avenue South see constant traffic from airport related activity, which means more accidents, more disputed insurance claims, and more people who need someone in their corner fast. At the same time, Burien Town Square has become a hub for small businesses, from restaurants to service companies, all of which need contracts, leases, and formation documents handled correctly from the start.

I work with Burien clients on both sides of this. If you were hurt in a collision near the airport corridor, I help you deal with the insurance company and pursue the compensation you deserve. If you are opening a business near Town Square or already run one, I help you draft solid contracts, form the right business structure, and stay protected as you grow.

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.
