David A. Roberts - senior partner
Dave began working as an attorney in Washington in 1994 and has been practicing in Kingston since 2001. He prefers the relative peace and quiet of small town law after many wonderful years of working on fast-paced insurance defense for a medium-sized Seattle law firm. Dave is a member of the Federal Bar in the Western District of Washington and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals as well as the Washington State Bar.
Dave grew up on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. His father owned a small convenience store and Dave has fond childhood memories of watching his father chuckle and converse with friends while sipping coffee in the Cape Cod sun. Dave graduated from Brown University in 1987 with a double major. After graduating from Beasley School of Law at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1994, Dave and his wife Alison moved from the East Coast to Hansville, Washington with their children.
In his spare time, Dave enjoys trail running, skiing, hiking and biking, and spending time with his wife, three daughters, and two granddaughters. Dave also regularly volunteers at Kitsap Legal Services’ Housing Justice Project, where he helps low income tenants understand their legal rights, protect their housing, and effectively fight unlawful eviction actions.
Laura Gronnvoll - paralegal
Laura has been the Firm’s administrative expert in all things probate since 2006. Laura first came to the office as the personal representative of an estate because she had a few legal questions regarding probate. Dave and Paul were instantly impressed with the detailed knowledge Laura had obtained about the probate process while administering the estate all on her own. Not long after, Dave and Paul invited Laura to join the team. Laura continues to provide exceptional service to clients and invaluable assistance to the Firm.
If Laura is away from the office, it is because she is serving the people of Kingston as one of the three elected Port of Kingston Commissioners. Laura also enjoys spending time with her family and volunteering in her community.
