About Kirk M.
Kirk M. Veis has spent more than four decades in and around the law. He completed a Bachelor of Business Administration at Pacific Lutheran University in 1980 and earned his Juris Doctor from Stanford Law School in 1983. Since then, he has maintained continuous membership in statewide and national bar organizations.
After law school, Veis established a practice anchored in Washington. He is admitted to practice in Washington and is also admitted to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Those credentials reflect a practice that moves between state and federal matters and that requires both courtroom and appellate facility.
For much of his career he has been associated with the firm Owens Davies Fristoe Taylor & Schultz, PS. The listing shows him as part of that firm’s roster. He has worked alongside other attorneys there on litigation and related legal matters. Public records list his long-standing ties to the practice and to the local legal community.
Veis has kept a steady presence in bar associations. He joined the American Bar Association and the Washington State Bar Association in 1983 and has retained membership in both organizations since then. In 1990 he became a member of the Thurston County Bar Association, where he remains active. Those memberships indicate ongoing professional engagement at local and national levels.
Colleagues describe him as an experienced practitioner who navigates the procedural demands of state courts and federal appellate filings. He has handled cases that require careful preparation of briefs and motions, and he has worked on matters that proceed through multi-tiered appeals. His courtroom practice intersects with the procedural rigor expected at the appellate level.
Beyond the courtroom, Veis’s background in business from Pacific Lutheran and his legal training at Stanford inform his approach to disputes that combine commercial and regulatory elements. He brings both transactional understanding and litigation experience to his cases. That combination can matter in contested matters that touch on business operations and compliance.
He remains a member of the Washington bar and continues to practice law in the state. His name appears on firm materials and professional directories that reflect an active legal career stretching from the early 1980s to the present.
As of 2026, Kirk M. Veis practices at Owens Davies Fristoe Taylor & Schultz, PS, handling matters in Washington state courts and appeals before the D.C. Circuit.
