With more than thirty years of litigation experience, I am as comfortable in the court room as I am behind the scenes in discovery, investigation, strategy and negotiation. I began my legal career as a general practice attorney but have found it rewarding to help those in need and as a result I have focused on bankruptcy law and personal injury litigation. The variety of cases I've worked on through the years allows me to view your case in the context of the big picture and not lose sight of the forest for the trees.
A Calm Professional in the Storm
When you are in crisis mode, it helps to have a calming voice of reason by your side. As your attorney, here is what I vow to provide to you:
- My personal attention — As a sole practitioner, I can concentrate on my clients and not treat them as a number.
- My experience — As a lawyer with 30 years of experience, I can provide my clients with a very realistic appraisal of likely outcomes and advise them accordingly.
- My ability to listen — Being a good listener means not making assumptions, paying attention to what is being said, and being concerned about the individual who is speaking.
- My ability to explain — I can provide clients with a common sense explanation about options, the legal process, legal terms and proceedings.
- An attention to detail — Persistence and a polite demeanor can disarm opponents as surely as can an aggressive approach.
-
A level headed approach — Based on experience, I have a good idea about the tactics that will work, and where it is a good idea to spend time and energy for a good result.

Broad Experience and Focused Attention
As an attorney who has been practicing law for more than 30 years, there are few legal situations which I have not seen or experienced. At this point in time, I have focused my legal practice on a few specific areas of litigation where I feel I can be the most helpful. As a trial lawyer who is also a sole practitioner, I can offer personal attention as well as litigation experience.
From my law office in Portland, Oregon, I serve individuals and small businesses with the following types of legal needs:
Bankruptcy law — For individuals and small businesses considering Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and those wishing to pursue bankruptcy as a way to stop foreclosures, wage garnishment and creditor harassment
Personal injury litigation — Representing individuals injured in a car, truck or pedestrian accident or who suffered an injury due to medical malpractice, including nursing home injuries, and representing families who have lost a loved one in a wrongful death injury
Bad faith insurance — For those who are in a fight with their insurance company for refusing to represent them in a lawsuit, or for refusing to honor a benefit coverage claim or others who are in a dispute related to insurance law
Third party claims — For those who are seeking compensation (non workers' compensation) against a company or contractor for a work-related injury that is either due to company negligence, or the fault of a third party contract employer, equipment manufacturer or other entity
Premises liability — For those who have suffered a personal injury in a serious slip and fall accident or a dog bite on the dog owner's property
Product liability — Representing individuals who have suffered a personal injury due to a product defect, improper warning label or other product issue
Commercial litigation — Representing individuals and small businesses with contract disputes, employment disputes, breach of contract, real estate and commercial construction disputes and other business-to-business agreement issues
Probate issues — Civil lawsuits for probate issues such as a disputed will
I offer a phone consultation for potential bankruptcy clients and a phone or office consultation for all other individual and small-business clients. My office is conveniently located in Portland, Oregon, although I represent clients from a much wider area.
