Before starting my own firm, I practiced at widely respected estate planning and business law firm in downtown Portland, where I gained significant experience in estate planning, probate, trust administration and a wide variety of transactional business matters.. I have in the past also had the opportunity to work in the in-house legal departments of two well-known Oregon companies, where I focused primarily on real estate and business transactions. In these positions, I saw first hand the unique problems businesses face when it comes to dealing with legal issues. This in-house experience has given me the ability to understand and advise clients on the often competing legal and business considerations that small and emerging companies are likely to encounter.. Seeing an opportunity to use my diverse legal background to help make affordable legal services more accessible individuals, small businesses, and entrepreneurs, I started my own firm, JNF Law, LLC, in Lake Oswego, Oregon.. Outside the office, I am an avid distance and trail runner. In my free time, I can typically be found exploring the trails in Forest Park or the Columbia River Gorge with my wife and our new puppy, or competing in long distance trail running races throughout the Northwest.

BACKGROUNDI began my career prosecuting criminal cases in an historic courthouse anchoring a sleepy, Southern town. Then, as a Marine Corps Judge Advocate, I defended service members in court-martial proceedings out of a spartan, block building aboard a California desert Marine base. Living and practicing in the majestic Pacific Northwest for over twenty years since then, the offices and scenery have improved dramatically.. No matter the surroundings, though, the mission has remained the same: helping good people through difficult situations.. My practice has evolved and expanded from criminal and civil litigation to include an emphasis on entertainment and intellectual property law for creative professionals, as well as business, real estate and contract law for Oregon businesses. My clients include artists, writers, producers and content creators in Oregon’s film and TV industry, as well as small business owners in multiple sectors, including those in the burgeoning Oregon cannabis industry.. In my spare time, I stay active in the community as a youth and high school sports official, and as an adjunct instructor teaching law classes to paralegal students. Moreover, my love for the arts (my hobbies include writing, acting and photography) have pushed me towards service that benefits our arts community:  I've served as a board member of the Oregon Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, as well as the (legendary, but now sadly gone) Post5 Theatre.  I also founded and directed the FiLMLaB annual script-to-screen writing/filmmaking contest through the Willamette Writers organization.  He has offices in Portland and Lake Oswego..
