He has been counsel of record on several published and reported appellate court cases, including McCurry v. Chevy Chase Bank, FSB, 169 Wn.2d 96 (2010), in which the Washington Supreme Court reversed the trial court's and Court of Appeals' dismissal of his client's claims, and declined to adopt the U.S. Supreme Court's Iqbal/Twombly standard for deciding Civil Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal motions in Washington.
