Good Lawyers Make Good Neighbors

We built this firm around the kind of law practice we wanted to have and the kind of people we wanted to be around. Along the way, our families, friends, colleagues, students, and teammates became part of it too.

Oregon is home. We've raised our families here, made lifelong friends, found mentors, taught and been taught, and watched a lot of sports. We get involved. We share what we know, learn from people, and put our time behind things that matter to us. And we have a lot of fun doing it.

We care about people and the world around us. Being involved keeps us curious, brings interesting people and ideas into our lives, and gives us a chance to support the communities we're part of. We think that makes for a better life and a better firm.
