Duffy G. Romnor

Attorney | Seattle


Duffy focuses her practice on all aspects of trust and estate litigation, including mediation, trials, arbitration, and appeals.

Duffy comes to her practice with an extensive background in civil litigation, commercial litigation, and managing complex discovery matters.
