I was born and raised in Southeast Portland.  After graduating high school I joined the US Army where I served as a Military Police Officer and Drill Sergeant for 8 years.  I was deployed overseas numerous times for both combat and non-combat missions then I returned home where I completed my college degree and attended Law School.. While I finished my undergraduate degree, I decided to start my own business providing trial support services as a consultant and technical expert.  Through that business, I was provided a great opportunity to work with some of the very best trial attorneys in Oregon.  Watching and supporting these amazing litigators, I knew this was the career meant for me.. While finishing up school, I met and married my amazing wife Annie.  We are the proud parents of three young boys, Brady, Patrick and Lucas.  When I find a little time between my family, my law practice and other business ventures, I enjoy staying active in the outdoors, especially on the golf course.  I will never leave this place I call home and hope to continue to be a Trial Attorney as long as the Oregon Courts will have me.

After receiving my J.D. from William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota in the spring of 2011, and being admitted to the Minnesota Bar later that year, I returned to my home state of Oregon to begin my legal career.. By the time I had moved back to Oregon, the glut in the new-lawyer market made it difficult to find a job that I felt would provide the type of professional development I was looking for.  My choice became clear.  I would open my own solo law practice.. Before receiving my license to practice law in Oregon in the spring of 2012, I engaged in standard contract work to gain some experience and meet some new attorneys in the Portland area.  Once licensed, I leased a shared office space and began looking for clients.  The choice of location proved to be prophetic as I am now a partner in a firm with many of the attorneys with whom I shared my first office.. As it happened, the calls I initially received came primarily from residential tenants looking for assistance in various aspects of the landlord-tenant relationship.  While not particularly lucrative, I gained invaluable experience that few new attorneys were able to achieve at that point in time.. I am now a partner with the law firm of Bodzin Donnelly Mockrin & Slavin, LLP.  We've upgraded to a nice office in downtown Milwaukie where we practice family law, criminal defense, property law, and medical marijuana law (explained below).. While I still do some landlord-tenant work, my new focus is on medical marijuana law.  In February of 2013, Oregon passed a law, to take effect in March of 2014, that would allow individuals to operate medical marijuana distribution facilities, or "dispensaries" as they are commonly called.  I now provide legal representation to individuals seeking to establish grow sites or dispensaries.  My firm also provides representation to individuals facing criminal charges related to possession, distribution, or manufacture of hemp, cannabis, and marijuana.. I love my job and I love working with people from all walks of life.  My partners and I understand that your case is the most important case in your life.  It is with this mentality that we pursue your case, and we expect nothing less from ourselves and, indeed, from our clients.. I look forward to hearing from you.
