I grew up in Lewiston, Idaho, right on the Washington border. Much of my time growing up was spent deep in the wilderness of Northern Idaho, fishing, skiing, and hiking. Me and my family spend most of our free time skiing, attending Timbers games, riding bikes, and BBQing with friends.

I have been interested in the law from a young age, probably due to the fact I have three parents who are attorneys (my mother, father, and stepfather). After high school, I went to Colgate University in New York, then went on to the University of Idaho College of Law.

I have worked at the Henderson Law Firm since 2013, with a focus on Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice. I am currently licensed in Washington & Oregon.

My current practice is focused on personal injury. We take the time to do your case the right way. I listen to my clients to make sure they are heard in Court. Our firm is different because we do the work to explore your full story. This is a long and sometimes emotional process, but the results speak for themselves. My theory is — always attempt to settle the case, but if that cannot be done, I will fight like hell in Court. I will always be the hardest working lawyer on any case that goes to trial.

I have always focused on giving back to the community since law school, be it in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, representing those who cannot afford an attorney in Clark County, and serving on various boards and committees. I was awarded the Idaho State Pro Bono award in 2008, and the Clark County Bar Association presented me with the Volunteer Attorney of the Year Award in 2017. Recently, I have been working with Operation Pitch Invasion, making soccer more accessible for low-income children in our community.

Giving Back

I was born in Washington, grew up in Tacoma and graduated from Stadium High School in 1966. My dad was a city bus driver and my mother worked for the Army at Ft. Lewis as a finance clerk. In 1968, I volunteered for the Army. I went to an NCO school, was promoted to the rank of Sergeant, and went to Vietnam. I served in combat units with the 101st Airborne Division...
