Lizzy is an attorney in our Marysville and Burlington offices. Her practice primarily focuses on automobile and trucking collisions, traumatic brain injuries, premises liability, and wrongful death.
Professional Overview
Lizzy is a soccer-loving Washingtonian born and raised in the Tri-Cities. She is a proud Washington Huskie, graduating from the University of Washington with a B.A. degree in International Studies. In 2023, she graduated from Seattle University School of Law where she was an active member of the International Law Society and editor on the Seattle Journal of Technology, Environmental, and Innovation Law (SJTEIL). During law school, Lizzy also interned for the Honorable Judge Lori K. Smith at the Washington Court of Appeals, Division One, where she helped draft, edit, and finalize judicial opinions dealing with both criminal and civil matters. During her summer breaks, Lizzy interned at GLP Attorneys, where she developed a strong interest in personal injury law and advocating for Plaintiffs; she saw first-hand how compassionate and tenacious lawyering can change the lives of those who have been injured.
After graduation, Lizzy returned to GLP Attorneys as an attorney where she has successfully settled several high-value cases, including one settlement for policy limits of 1.25 million dollars for an individual who was in a severe head-on collision that resulted in multiple surgeries.
Lizzy is a fierce advocate for those who were injured due to the negligence of others and is passionate about standing up to large insurance companies to get the best outcome for her clients. “I won’t back down from a fight and I take pride in my work-ethic; I will out-work the opponent every time.”
