Abbie has worked in criminal defense since 2017, representing hundreds of clients across the Puget Sound region. Counties served include Pierce, King, Lewis, Thurston, Kitsap, Mason, Grays Harbor, and Snohomish, as well as most municipal courts within those jurisdictions.

A determined and hardworking attorney, Abigael is a zealous advocate for her clients both in and out of the courtroom. Her tenacity was evident early on; as a first-generation college student, she earned her first college degree by age eighteen, and her Juris Doctorate was earned at age twenty-two.

While Abigael has broad litigation experience, she has primarily focused on criminal defense. Her unique perspective comes from experiencing multiple angles of a criminal case—as prosecutor, defense attorney, and even witness. At eleven, she was subpoenaed and forced to testify against a family member, an experience that ignited her passion for justice for the criminally accused and their families and motivated her to pursue a legal career fighting for others facing similar injustices by the government. Abbie prides her practice in being able to offer perspective to her clients, to prosecutors and to the court due to her vast experiences personally and professionally in criminal cases.

Abigael has a strong record of achieving favorable outcomes for clients, including successful jury verdicts, pretrial rulings, and even an overturned jury verdict on appeal. Beyond her courtroom successes, she is known for her client-centered approach. Abbie deeply cares about each client’s story and circumstances, treating them as people first and cases second. Her courtroom advocacy reflect this compassion for her clients and their stories.

A native of the Greater Seattle-Tacoma area, Abigael double-majored in Philosophy and Law and Justice at Central Washington University, where she also worked as a writing tutor. During this time, she studied abroad in Cyprus and Greece. She then graduated from Seattle University School of Law in December 2017. Since licensure as an attorney, Abigael has worked as a prosecutor, a public defender, and worked in private criminal defense at other area law firms. She also took about a year away from the criminal arena and practiced in Civil Litigation.

Outside of her legal practice, Abigael enjoys traveling with her two children and husband exploring new places around the world or simply getting lost in the woods and enjoying the beauty of the PNW: backpacking, boating, or watching her husband and kids fish and hunt.
