RIKI KAYA
Senior Associate Attorney
“Motivated individuals can always find a way to prosper. However, an individual’s ability to motivate a cause that is greater than themselves is what defines true success.”
Riki was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and obtained his undergraduate degree at the University of San Francisco in 2019. In 2020, Riki moved to Seattle to attend law school at Seattle University. Riki joined the firm as a Rule 9 Intern and was eventually brought on as an associate after obtaining his law degree and passing the Washington Bar in 2023. In 2024, Riki also passed the Hawai'i Bar and now has the privilege to practice in two different states, both of which he now calls home.
Riki enjoys golfing, tennis, pickleball, paddleboarding, and hiking. During the cold season, Riki spends most of his free time skiing. Throughout undergraduate and law school, Riki worked nights as a bartender and still enjoys making cocktails in his free time. While he has since traded his cocktail shaker for a yellow legal pad, Riki still makes the best spicy margarita in town.
