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 Normandy Park

Normandy Park is a quieter, higher value residential community along the Puget Sound bluffs, and the legal work here reflects that. Long time homeowners often need estate and trust planning that goes beyond a generic template, while bluff and waterfront properties bring their own questions around erosion, easements, and geotechnical stability that a typical residential sale does not usually involve.

Given my own background in geotechnical engineering before law, this is an area where I bring a genuinely different perspective than most attorneys. I help Normandy Park families build estate plans that reflect what they actually own and want, and I guide clients through real estate matters where the bluff itself is part of the legal picture.

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.

Trusts can help avoid probate and provide more control over how assets are distributed, which is often worth considering for higher value estates.

Erosion, shoreline setback requirements, and geotechnical stability are recurring issues, and these are worth reviewing before buying, selling, or building.
