Legal Team
Paralegals and Legal Assistants cannot give legal advice and they do not have the legal education an attorney has, but they are competent, trained staff who handle many aspects of a client’s matter – from drafting documents to tracking deadlines to providing status updates to clients – and thus help keep client legal fees down.
Paralegal
Mily is a native of Lacey but her family is originally from Peru so she’s bilingual.
She joined the firm part time in 2017 while a student at St. Martin’s University and has been full time since completing her B.A. in Criminology and Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology in 2018. Mily also holds a degree in Paralegal
Studies from Ashworth College. She is our litigation, probate, and family law paralegal and also handles some Real Estate. For fun, Mily is social and loves dancing. She also enjoys playing soccer, football, and volleyball with friends. She also enjoys spending time with her family and helps with her parents’ family businesses, J&P
Cleaning Services and Natural Cleaning.

Peter Monahan

A native Vermonter, Peter has lived in a dozen states, and worked in at least a dozen more. His varied background includes extensive work with the arts and entertainment industry, as well as years of experience in aviation, textiles, and security. Peter has a BA from Dartmouth College, an MFA from the University of Missouri/Kansas City, a JD from Fordham Law and an MBA from the Executive Program at the Stern School of Business at NYU.
