Sherilyn Peterson represents clients in trial and appellate litigation, particularly product liability and complex litigation, in federal and state courts across the nation. Sherilyn also has a strong interest in serving the bar's pro bono needs. Her representation of death row inmates challenging Washington State's execution protocol forced the state to change its method of execution and earned her recognition as the first civil litigator to receive the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers' President's Award.
