About Casey Matthew
Casey Matthew Arbenz trained at Gonzaga University School of Law, where he completed his legal studies before beginning a career that blends public service and private practice. He is admitted to practice in Washington and has built a local presence through roles in municipal government and bar association leadership.
Early in his career he took on responsibilities outside the courtroom. He served as a councilmember on the Gig Harbor City Council, a post that placed him at the intersection of law, policy and local administration. The role required daily engagement with community concerns, ordinance drafting and council procedures. It also gave him a practical view of how municipal decisions affect residents and small businesses.
Arbenz has also been active in the legal community. He has served as a trustee of the Tacoma Pierce County Bar Association, taking part in governance and professional programming for lawyers in the region. That position involved oversight of association activities and contributing to efforts that support the local bar and its members.
Throughout his time in public roles, Arbenz maintained a presence in private practice. He joined The Hester Law Group Inc PS, where he has practiced law within Washington state. His work there has continued to draw on the municipal and community experience he developed during his time in elected office and bar leadership.
Colleagues describe him as steady and practical in approach. He tends to favor clear analysis and careful preparation. That style has informed both his public service and his work in the firm. He has worked on matters that require attention to regulatory frameworks and an understanding of local government processes.
Arbenz’s background at Gonzaga and his subsequent public roles give him familiarity with state and local legal issues. He has maintained professional ties in the Pierce County and Gig Harbor communities, and he remains a recognizable figure in both legal and civic circles.
Outside of formal titles, his record shows an attorney who balances community involvement with private practice responsibilities. He appears comfortable moving between the procedural demands of a city council chamber and the casework of a law office.
He currently practices law at The Hester Law Group Inc PS in Washington, where he applies his municipal and bar association experience to his legal work.
