Smith Alling is proud to announce its new Associate Attorney, Gabe Hinman, who began work on October 1.
Most recently, Gabe served for two years as a law clerk for Washington State Supreme Court Justice Sheryl Gordon McCloud. Before that, he served as a law clerk to Judge Rich Melnick of the Washington Court of Appeals, Division II. During his time at both courts, Gabe worked on a broad variety of cases that raised complex questions of will interpretation, administrative rulemaking, and class action procedure, among many others.
Gabe came to the Pacific Northwest in 2013 to attend Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, where he graduated first in his class and served as an Associate Editor of the Environmental Law Review.
Gabe will apply his extensive knowledge of Washington law to aid clients with all their legal problems. Gabe closely analyzes each case and takes a strategic approach to guide his clients to the best outcomes available.
When he’s not working, Gabe enjoys wandering the mountains of the Pacific Northwest with his wife and son, and reading about American history.
