About Leone J.
Leone J. Reinbold completed her legal training and qualified to practice in both Washington state courts and the Colville Tribal Court. Her path into the law prepared her to handle matters that cross the boundary between state and tribal systems. That dual admission has shaped how she approaches cases and how she advises clients about jurisdiction and procedure.
Reinbold spent years building a practice rooted in the communities she serves. Early in her career she gained courtroom experience in Okanogan County and in tribal proceedings. Colleagues remember her taking on matters that required careful attention to local rules and the practical needs of clients in rural and tribal communities. She has balanced courtroom appearances with out-of-court problem solving, often guiding clients through steps that follow court action as well as those that prevent the need for litigation.
Her peers entrusted her with leadership in the local bar. From 2013 to 2015, Reinbold served as president of the Okanogan County Bar Association. In that role she oversaw meetings, helped organize continuing legal education programs, and worked to maintain lines of communication among lawyers practicing in a geographically large and dispersed region. The presidency put her in regular contact with judges, court staff, and lawyers from different practice backgrounds.
Working in both state and tribal courts has given Reinbold practical insight into jurisdictional overlap and procedural differences. She handles matters that require attention to tribal law and to state law, and she is familiar with the steps needed to present a matter effectively in each forum. Her work often involves advising clients about which forum is appropriate and what outcomes are realistic under the governing rules. She pays particular attention to deadlines, local practice, and the cultural context that can influence how cases are managed and resolved.
Reinbold maintains a practice that serves residents of Okanogan County and members of the Colville Confederated Tribes. She continues to appear in Washington courts and before the Colville Tribal Court, representing individuals and organizations in matters that reflect the overlap of state and tribal interests. Her current practice focuses on representing clients in proceedings in Washington and in the Colville Tribal Court.
