Our practice is focused on civil litigation with an emphasis on defense, providing insurance carriers, self-insured clients, and businesses with the highest quality litigation support.  We represent clients throughout Oregon and Washington.

We pride ourselves on thorough and timely reporting, recognizing it is crucial for the relationship with our clients to keep them apprised of developments as they occur and include them in litigation strategies and trial preparation decisions.  Our goal is to provide excellent legal services in the most cost-effective manner.

While our emphasis and reputation are based upon defending clients in civil cases, our expertise is litigation.  Where a conflict of interest is not present, we readily accept representation of individual plaintiffs and organizations in pursuing compensation or other appropriate relief.

We are proud to have achieved excellent results in litigating claims for defendants as well as plaintiffs. We provide representation in all state and federal courts as well as administrative proceedings throughout the Northwest.
