About Natalie Lynn

Natalie Lynn Durflinger built her path to the law through a foundation in the humanities. She started with a degree in English at the University of Washington, Seattle, completing her B.A. in 2004. The study of language and argument drew her to legal study, and she earned her J.D. from Gonzaga University School of Law in 2007.

After law school she established her practice in Washington. Over time she took on increasing responsibility at Durflinger Oliver & Associates. In 2010 she became the firm’s managing partner and has overseen its operations since then. Her role blends case management with administrative duties and the day-to-day decisions necessary to run a small law firm.

Durflinger’s work sits in the context of Washington law. She practices in the state and represents clients through the firm’s offices. Her experience includes advising clients, supervising other attorneys and managing the firm’s caseload. Colleagues and clients have relied on her judgment in both client-facing matters and internal firm strategy.

Outside the office she maintains memberships in professional organizations. She stays involved in the legal community and keeps current on developments affecting practice in Washington. That participation informs the way she directs cases and manages the firm’s work.

Her background in English and law gives her a particular attention to written advocacy and case preparation. She applies those skills across the matters the firm handles, tending to the details that shape legal filings and client communication. Overseeing a firm since 2010 has also required her to balance client work with leadership duties.

Today she is based at Durflinger Oliver & Associates. She continues to manage the firm and handle client matters across Washington, concentrating her practice through the firm’s work.
