Professional Overview

Lizzy is a proud Washingtonian and passionate advocate for individuals who have been injured through no fault of their own. Born and raised in the Tri-Cities, Lizzy brings a combination of grit, empathy, and unwavering determination to her practice. She is proud to stand up to large insurance companies and fight for the justice her clients deserve.

A lifelong soccer enthusiast, Lizzy knows the value of teamwork, strategy, and perseverance—qualities that shape the way she approaches every case. She earned her B.A. in International Studies from the University of Washington, where she became a proud Husky, and later earned her Juris Doctorate from Seattle University School of Law in 2023. During law school, she served as an editor for the Seattle Journal of Technology, Environmental, and Innovation Law (SJTEIL) and was an active member of the International Law Society. She also gained valuable experience interning for Judge Lori K. Smith at the Washington Court of Appeals, Division One, where she assisted in drafting judicial opinions on both civil and criminal matters.

Lizzy’s journey with GLP Attorneys began during law school, when she interned with the firm and discovered her passion for personal injury law and plaintiff advocacy. After graduation, she returned to GLP Attorneys as an attorney, where she has already achieved several high-value settlements, including a $1.25 million policy-limit recovery for a client who suffered severe injuries in a head-on collision.

Known for her relentless work ethic and fearless advocacy, Lizzy says it best: “I won’t back down from a fight. I take pride in out-working the opponent every time.”
