Biography
I have practiced family law since 2010. I was admitted to the Washington State Bar Association in 2007 and have operated my solo practice since 2013 in Tacoma, WA. I have worked hard to develop litigation skills as well as skills in alternative dispute resolution (mediation and arbitration) and in other services that support families that are involved in legal matters. Compassion working together with experience is a great approach for resolving conflicts.

Legal Answers
1 Questions Answered
- Q. What are the best alternatives for families needing to refinance mortgage or auto loan debts at this time?
- A: My thinking is that interest rates for new mortgages or auto loans are higher than they have been in years, so it is difficult for families to know the best way to handle this type of debt during a divorce. If possible debts can be paid in full to avoid needing a new loan, the asset (aka home/vehicle) can be sold to pay off the debt, or alternative loan types can be considered to explore the best interest rates (aka HELOC, personal loan, mortgage, etc.), but in the end if refinancing is the only option, the new loan can always be refinanced in the future if/when interest rates go down.
