| Autumn Liner-Sanders, Associate Attorney Autumn Liner-Sanders is an associate attorney at Legal Advocates for Indian Country, LLP in the Seattle, Washington office. Autumn began working with LAIC as a contract attorney in 2010 and was hired as an associate attorney in June 2013. Autumn began practicing law in 2007 under a Rule 9 license. She received her Juris Doctor from Seattle University School of Law in May 2008 and was admitted to practice law in Washington in October 2008. Autumn earned an Associate's Degree in business, accounting, and marketing from Highline Community College. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a Minor in Human Rights at the University of Washington, Tacoma. While attending law school, she served as the president of Native American Law Student Association. She brings to the firm experience in criminal defense, family law representation, Indian Child Welfare defense, as well as general practice. She is an advocate to her core, who zealously fights for her clients interests and believes wholeheartedly in the protection, promotion, and evolution of the rights of tribal nations and tribal people. Her journey of fighting for tribal rights began at 8 years old when she and her younger brother came across two grave robbers attempting to dredge the river where her ancestors burial grounds had eroded into due to a recent river shift. They began to assail the men with stones from the shore, screaming and yelling to draw the attention of those nearby. They successfully held the men off until law enforcement arrived and arrested the men. (Mention of this incident can be found in the Seattle Native American Burke Museum archives.) Autumn's first solo trial as a licensed attorney was a successful self-defense case wherein her client defended himself from a two person attack with a tomahawk the client kept on his wall as art. | |
