Heather Graham joined the firm in November of 2000 bringing with her 10+ years of experience in Family Law. While she prefers to "stay behind the scene" doing Mr. Anderson's dictation, letters and pleadings, she is warm, compassionate and a good listener that clients can easily relate to.

Leona Bernard joined our firm in March 2001 bringing with her a degree in Psychology and a Paralegal Certificate from Edmonds Community College. She began her employment with us as a receptionist and worked her way up to the position of Paralegal to Mr. Fields. Her American Eskimo, Vixey, comes to work with her on Fridays and has been the office mascot for the past 4 years.

Anthony Milliken joined the firm in 1995 after graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and Paralegal Certificate from California State University at Chico. He joined the office as a file clerk and had the opportunity to train to become Paralegal to Wolfgang R. Anderson in 1997. He is working to become a family law attorney under the tutelage of partner H. Michael Fields in the Law Clerk Program sponsored by the Washington State Bar Association. He lives in the north end with his wife of 11 years, Stacy, son Liam, daughter Hayden, dog Memphis Blue and cat Seamus Finn. Anthony enjoys spending his "free" time with family and friends, is an avid Star Wars fan and is always on the lookout to add another snow globe to his ever-growing collection.

Lysianne Evans joined the firm in 1994 as Comptroller for the firm. Her position grew over the years to include all facets of personnel, office and building management and is the first contact that new clients have with the firm. She came to the firm with a certificate in financial planning and more than 15 years of accounting and financial work. She has been married for more than 26 years and has one daughter, two stepchildren and 4 grandchildren. She and her husband try to live on their boat 50 percent of the year and plan to become full time live-aboards in the near future.

Abigail Simmons, our receptionist, is a Seattle native and a graduate of The University of California at Santa Cruz, making her a Fighting Banana Slug. Abbey joined our firm in October of 2006, after serving a year as an AmeriCorps VISTA and is in the process of applying to law school. She is the proud "mom" of two devilish black cats, Gus and Marley, who also serve as her early morning alarm clock.

Jennifer Davidson joined the firm in November of 2003. She is our hard working, reliable file clerk. Her head is virtual file cabinet as she retains an unbelievable amount of information about our cases and where every document can be found. Her miniature Chihuahua, Montego, is our other office mascot that comes to work with her on Fridays.

Kristin Mosby joined the firm in March of 2002 as a file clerk. She is the Paralegal to Allen Dermody. She obtained her BA and her Paralegal Certificate from the University of Washington.

Les Feistel, paralegal to H. Michael Fields, joined the firm in February of 2007. He has been in the legal field for over 7 years, 5 of which have been in Family Law. He holds a B.A. from the University of Washington in Political Science, and has worked on several campaigns. He lives with his wife and two daughters as well as two dogs and a cat. He enjoys football, boating, camping, fishing, hunting, shooting and other outdoor activities.

Melinda Foster joined the firm in September of 2007. She brings with her experience in criminal and personal injury law. In her time away from the office, she and her husband enjoy chasing after their toddler and ATVing whenever there is a free minute to spare.
