About

An Eastern Washington native, I attended Washington State University where I graduated with my B.A. in Political Science. After relocating to Spokane, I spent six years working for a Spokane family law firm while completing the Washington State Bar Association’s APR6 Program. My practice focuses on family law, estate planning and some probate.I am active in the Spokane legal community, serving as President-Elect for the Spokane Young Lawyers Division. I also serve on the HOBY WA corporate board, a nonprofit organization that offers leadership development programs to high school students throughout the state.

Joanna is AMAZING! She supported my daughter and me 100% during our custody court dates. She was there for us mentally, emotionally, and legally. She was my advocate in every aspect of our lives and through our relocation.

Joanna was excellent at laying out my options and providing answers to all my questions not matter how insignificant they might have been. Always prompt and on time with responses. At all times she made me feel like I was a priority and would go that extra mile. She is a true go getter. Can't say enough great things.

Joanna did a great job from the beginning, setting realistic expectations and not just giving me a fairy tale expectation. She delivered our message well to the Commissioner and got a favorable outcome! I could see her taking notes and altering our plan by using the other parties words against them, it was just overall impressive to watch. **I have had other council before, so I have something to compare to, and Joanna was just fantastic all around!*
