Darrah Hinton puts into practice her litigation and first-hand collective bargaining experience as a union association president to help businesses resolve pain points in their employer-labor relationship. In addition to her labor dispute resolution and negotiation practice, Darrah maintains an active employment litigation practice focused on defending employers in matters arising out of wage-and-hour claims, allegations of discrimination and harassment, and state agency actions.

Prior to joining DWT, Darrah served as Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, where she utilized an analytical and public health approach to tackle firearm violence, developed community-based firearm prevention programs, and handled felonies of all classes. While serving as a prosecutor, Darrah was also the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Association's union president. In her role as union president, Darrah represented her association in countywide and inter-office contract negotiations related to wages, benefits, and working conditions.
