Thomas E Janisch My formal education is a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Washington in 1980 and a Jurist Doctor degree from the University of San Francisco in 1985. While in law school I worked for a land title company and then a litigation law firm in downtown San Francisco. After law school I returned home to Washington State. I started practicing law in Wenatchee with the firm of Jardine, Foreman, Turner & Appel in 1986. While with this firm I gained valuable experience. I eventually became a partner with the successor firm Foreman & Arch. I had the opportunity to handle numerous personal injury cases and also work on a broad variety of cases. In 1995 I decided to practice law as a sole practitioner and did so until 1997 when I was invited to be a lateral partner at Johnson, Gaukroger & Crossland. I was with this firm and its successors until 2009 when I decided to leave practice with a larger office and return to sole practice. With this background and experience I am well qualified to handle civil litigation cases with an emphasis on personal injury and family law cases.
