Statement: Devin began his legal career working for small law firm in East Wenatchee.

When his own son needed Special Education, Devin expanded his practice to help parents and students with Special Education needs.

In 2006, he became the City Attorney for East Wenatchee. He splits his time between prosecuting criminal cases and drafting contracts, ordinances, and land use agreements for the City. Since Devin has been prosecutor, the number of criminal cases in East Wenatchee has increased from 425 in 2005 to 721 in 2011.
