EMILY ROSE, ATTORNEY AT LAW
EDUCATION
I am a proud graduate of Geneva Elementary School, Kulshan Middle School, Bellingham High School and Whatcom Community College, as well as Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington and the Washington State Law Clerk Program in Seattle.
CAREER
Before becoming an attorney, I worked in a church daycare; at Taco Bell (only for one day, ask me about it sometime); as a librarian at the Bellingham and Fairhaven Public Libraries and as an office administrator. In 2007, I was hired as a paralegal at the law firm of Britain, Gallery & Vis in Bellingham. Over my seven-year tenure at BGV, I not only learned everything I know about estate, business and bankruptcy law but also completed the Washington State Law Clerk Program and passed the Bar Exam to become an attorney. I launched Limitless Law PLLC in 2014.
OTHER INTERESTS
Even when I’m not helping my clients solve their legal problems before they start, I stay busy! I have served as adjunct faculty at Whatcom Community College, teaching Business Law since 2016. I also love playing rugby and roller derby, lifting weights and spending time with my wife, Katherine, and our pit-bull-Corgi mix, Nellie.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
It’s important to me to give back to my community, which has given so much to me. I am honored to serve on the Board of the Washington State Law Clerk Program, the legal education program that I completed to become an attorney. I have also served on the non-profit Board of my roller derby league, the Bellingham Roller Betties. My firm proudly sponsors both the Chuckanut Bay Rugby Club and the Bellingham Roller Betties. Limitless Law has also been involved in Bellingham’s Pride Festival every year since 2014, and we sponsored the York Neighborhood Yard Crawl in 2018 and 2019.
CLARE FARLEY, PARALEGAL
BACKGROUND
Originally, I hail from Brooklyn! During my high school years, I moved across the country to Seabeck, Washington. I like to say I am a city girl with a sprinkle of wood. I learned to love my new home when I discovered how great salmon sushi is!
EDUCATION
I attended public school up until high school, when I attended an all-girls college-prep boarding school. I learned there that living and learning with friends is important to me.
I earned my college degree in the Law, Diversity and Justice Program at Western Washington University, with an emphasis on Rights, Governmentality and Power and a minor in Human Rights.
CAREER
I was an investigative intern with the Whatcom County Public Defender’s office and a family law paralegal prior to joining the team at Limitless Law PLLC. I have dreams of becoming an attorney or a professor one day.
OTHER INTERESTS
When I am not at the office, you can find me swimming, playing Magic: The Gathering, or performing music and comedy at open mics.
