Ed is a Staff Attorney with Guardian Litigation Group, LLP., licensed in Washington state, with a diverse background in mass tort litigation, family law, and pro bono advocacy. Originally from Colorado, Ed holds a B.A. in Political Economy from Regis University in Denver, where he financed his education through scholarship-participation in the Jesuit Honors Program and Speech and Debate Team.
Ed earned his J.D. from the University of North Dakota School of Law, where he was recognized with awards for both written and oral advocacy in Moot Court, and clerked at the Tribal Judicial Institute.
