We are a Pacific Northwest law firm, and actively practice in the state and federal courts of Oregon and Washington. To better serve our clients, we have recently expanded our practice to include the State of Idaho. Our attorneys are licensed to practice in multiple states, including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California and Louisiana.

We believe in the importance of thorough factual development. Each case is unique, and the best solutions often depend on a thorough understanding of the facts particular to each case and client. Our emphasis on discovering the facts of each case enhances our ability to develop realistic litigation goals, craft an agreed-upon litigation strategy, and obtain the best results for our clients.

Client relationships are important to us, and we have long-standing relationships with many clients. The reason for that is straightforward: We work hard and creatively to solve legal problems. We learn and anticipate each of our client's needs. We keep our clients up to date as each case develops, and are responsive to their requests for additional information.

As a firm, we have adopted a positive, team-oriented approach to the preparation and management of legal matters. We staff legal matters consistent with each client's goals, recognizing that one size does not fit all. Our clients value and appreciate the ability to interact with professionals who understand their case and return their calls. For that reason, we train all of our attorneys and staff regarding the importance of timely client communication and responsiveness to client requests. We also recruit paralegals with demonstrated case management skills to ensure prompt and efficient service to our clients. Mutual respect between the firm’s attorneys, paralegals and administrative staff is at a premium.

The practice of law is more than just a means to an end. Our firm philosophy is to be mutually supportive, and to respect attorney and staff involvement in charitable, community-based and pro bono activities. The members of our firm have many talents; our people play blues guitar, fly-fish, paddle dragon boats and snowboard . . . but by far, as a law firm, what we do best is practice law.
