We appear before trial and appellate courts, administrative agencies, and arbitration panels throughout Oregon and Washington, with a focus on efficient strategy and persuasive advocacy.
Common Challenges We Solve
- ✓ A business dispute that is not resolved early can consume years of management attention and significant legal costs.
- ✓ Parties entering arbitration or mediation without experienced counsel often accept less favorable outcomes than a prepared advocate could achieve.
- ✓ Appeals require specialized skills—an attorney who was not involved at trial may miss the strongest arguments on the record.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does commercial litigation take?
- Most cases in Oregon state and federal courts resolve within one to three years. We pursue early resolution through motion practice or settlement where it advances your goals, and we are fully prepared to try cases when necessary.
- Is arbitration faster and cheaper than going to court?
- It can be, but outcomes depend heavily on the arbitration clause, selected arbitrators, and pre-hearing process. We evaluate whether arbitration or litigation better serves your interests.
- What is the appeals process like?
- Appeals are decided on the written record and briefs, with limited oral argument time. We review trial records for preserved error, draft persuasive appellate briefs, and argue before Oregon and federal appellate courts.
- Can you take a case on contingency?
- Contingency arrangements depend on the type of claim and strength of the case. We discuss fee structures during the initial consultation.
