Representative Experience
I have extensive litigation experience in the fields of state and federal environmental and land use law and have represented environmental organizations, citizens groups, individuals, and local governments in a wide variety of administrative and judicial forums. I have assisted clients with matters involving smart growth, new urbanism, comprehensive planning, environmental review, and site-specific development proposals. I have also represented clients in a variety of federal matters that involved the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act and other federal environmental laws. I have also litigated issues involving Native American law involving land use, sovereign immunity, jurisdictional issues, gaming, and administrative law with considerable experience appearing in Tribal court.
My experience has ranged from complex litigation with statewide implications involving over a dozen state agencies, several federal agencies, and numerous local jurisdictions across the state to litigation involving single sites within a single jurisdiction. I have appeared before a number of different administrative bodies, including the Growth Management Hearings Boards, the Shorelines Hearings Boards, the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council, and numerous local government hearing examiners and legislative bodies. I have appeared before the Washington State Superior Court, Western District of Washington Federal Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Lectured at land use law CLE’s and presented to and trained organizations and individuals on a wide variety of topics including land use laws and process and tribal sovereign immunity-jurisdictional issues.
