During the course of his distinguished forty-year career, Candoo has handled numerous high-profile cases. For example, he filed suit against the Attorney General and State of Washington for refusing to release information about a $400,000 settlement to taxpayers (Case no. 94-2-04017-8 filed in the Superior Court of Washington County of Thurston) and won a $5 million settlement against a child abuser (Case no. 96-2-07444-1 filed in the Superior Court of Washington County of Pierce).

Candoo is the recipient of the 2017 Bertha M. Snell Award, given to those who triumph over difficult obstacles in their quest to become a lawyer and in the practice of law. He is also renowned for handling the kind of lawsuits that are often considered too tough for other attorneys and for connecting with clients using humor. “When we laugh our brains reboot,” added Candoo, who focuses on family law.
