Through exceptional communication, he helps maximize their recovery. In 2016, he became a partner in Davidson, Kilpatric, & Krislock.
Prior to law school, Dylan worked for the Northwest Defenders Association as an investigator. This experience taught him the importance of effective communication and discovering the story behind the facts. During law school, Dylan focused on building outstanding trial skills. Dylan worked as a Rule 9 Public Defender while in law school and argued numerous contested motions before the court. Dylan also worked for Judge Hollis Hill with the King County Superior Court and for Judge Anne Schindler at the Washington State Court of Appeals, Division One. While working for these Judges, Dylan gained valuable insight into the expectations of Judges when he wrote bench memoranda that evaluated the merits of numerous cases.
In addition to Dylan’s experience in the courtroom, he enjoys playing with wife and one-year-old son, hiking, and working on his garden.
