see moreAfter 26 years of private practice and government/military work, I am excited to have begun working for the Northwest Justice Project (NJP) a non-profit law firm dedicated to achieving civil justice for low-income clients and communities throughout the State of Washington. My practice will primarily focus on assisting the Veteran's Community.
Previously, I was the co-founder of the Law Offices of Krupa & Clark in Tacoma, Washington where I had a very active and successful trial practice in Federal, State, and Military Courts.
I enjoyed my time as a private practitioner but I felt that it was a time for a change. I wanted to continue to serve the public and especially Veterans and I was humbled and thankful that NJP has given me that opportunity. Those of you in the local Military and Veterans community can please feel free to reach out to me to see if I can help your referrals.August 31, 2020 -
