Bio

Ceslie focuses her practice on working with and representing general contractors, subcontractors, developers, design professionals, and suppliers in navigating the legal aspects of the construction industry, including resolving contract disputes, bid protests, CPARS disputes and appeals, lien and bond claims, L&I appeals, and contract drafting and review. Ceslie has successfully litigated multi-million-dollar disputes involving complex construction claims relating to delays, design errors, changes, and payment issues. Her experience also involves successfully resolving cases through settlement negotiations and mediation, mitigating her clients’ risk by avoiding arbitration or trial. In addition to her legal practice, Ceslie enjoys spending time outdoors with her dog, Dakota, and attempts downhill skiing. Although originally from the Gulf Coast of Florida, Ceslie loves the Pacific Northwest and happily calls it home.
