History
I have been a Portland-based criminal defense attorney for the past 20 years, for the last ten in private practice. I try cases in state and federal court in both Oregon and Washington. A key strength and my favorite part of practicing law is building relationships, and I take great pride in the customer service component of my job. I began my career as a Public Defender where I gained extensive trial experience representing hundreds of clients charged with every type of crime. In my former life I was a stand-up comic, and won the Portland Comedy Competition in 2000. When not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my husband Nathan and daughter Georgia, and volunteering with a variety of non-profit organizations in Portland. In 2018, I created Edie's List, the first (and as far as I know) only centralized resource of women business owners in the greater Portland area from every trade and profession.
