A Puget Sound area native, Marlyn began her legal career as a criminal prosecutor in King County, then transitioned to the private sector in 1999, where she practiced general civil litigation focused on real property issues. Since 2002, Marlyn has represented community associations almost exclusively, first as a construction defect litigator, and then as general counsel. Marlyn started CALG just last year after being a partner at Barker Martin for many years. Her goal is to provide the best general counsel services in the industry.

A child of two educators, Marlyn is dedicated to the education of homeowners, directors, and community managers for the overall improvement of the industry and quality of life. Out of the office, Marlyn enjoys dancing and silversmithing.
