PERSONAL INJURY AND BUSINESS LAW ATTORNEY SERVING RENTON

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 Renton and the surrounding communities, I believe legal help should be direct, honest, and easy to understand.

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.

Reliable Legal Support Across Renton

Every matter is handled with clear communication, fair pricing, and a genuine commitment to protecting your rights every step of the way.

My Practice Areas

Renton business owners receive support across the full range of legal needs, from contracts to daily operational questions, so the business keeps running smoothly.

Probate & Estate Law

Renton families are guided through wills, trusts, and probate with the clarity and care this kind of planning deserves.

Legal Support Built Around Renton

Renton has changed fast. Boeing still anchors a large part of the local economy, new residential and mixed use towers keep rising near the Landing, and Rainier Avenue South carries more traffic than it was ever designed to handle. That growth brings a distinct mix of legal needs, from workplace and traffic related injury claims to construction and business disputes tied to the area’s ongoing development.

I represent Renton residents hurt in workplace incidents and accidents throughout the city, and I advise developers, contractors, and business owners as new projects continue to reshape downtown Renton. Knowing how this city has grown and where the friction points tend to show up helps me get ahead of problems rather than just react to them.

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.
