I love helping my clients! It gives me great satisfaction to take on big insurance companies, and their tricky tactics, and help my clients win fair settlements.. Over the years, I have helped over a thousand of people who have been injured in motor vehicle collisions obtain millions of dollars in combined settlements. I have represented pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, commercial and semi-truck collisions, collisions with fatalities, collisions on public transportation, and most types of car accident collisions. I also have helped my clients win contract dispute claims against insurnce companies when the insurance company fails to pay their medical bills.. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Portland Community College in 2007, and then obtained my law degree from Willamette University College of Law in 2012. Shortly after graduating from law school, I began helping people who were injured in motor vehicle collisions while working at a mid-size personal injury law firm. In 2018, I decided to open my own law practice.. When I am not working, you can find me spending time with my family. My husband and I have been married for 14 years and have two amazing kids that keep us very busy! I also enjoy reading and going to the beach.

I love being a dad. The bulk of my free time is spent with my family, riding motorcycles, or being with friends.

I help attorneys at my firm with a variety of intellectual property work for our firm's clients.  I also help clients resolve conflicts relating to intellectual property, whether they are being accused of infringing someone else's intellectual property rights or have intellectual property rights that someone else appears to be infringing.  This involves things like helping write or reply to cease-and-desist letters and lawsuits about intellectual property rights.

I have years and more than 60 jury trials worth of experience that I can bring to your case. Let me help you find the best outcome for your problem. I want to help you because I believe everyone needs a good lawyer.. For most of my life I’ve worked in helping professions. Before I came to the law I worked for Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services. I helped people get food stamps; I signed them up for reduced-cost childcare; I made sure they got the benefits that kept them from falling through the cracks.. I first wanted to be a lawyer when an elderly gentleman called me looking for help. He’d been wrongly denied benefits in the past but that was only the beginning of his problems. He faced legal problems – criminal charges and eviction – and he couldn’t find anyone to help him. I wanted to help him but couldn’t. I felt that if I were a awyer I could truly help people in dire straits.. A short while later, I enrolled in law school. Even before I was a lawyer, I continued working to help others. During law school I worked as intern with the Oregon Department of Justice helping to get kids away from abusive situations.. When an opportunity arose to directly help people – through criminal defense work – I jumped at it and spent five years working at a public defense office in Vancouver, WA. My work there taught me how to negotiate aggressively for my clients, persuade judges and connect with juries.. Now, I’m pleased to bring my skills to help you with your legal issues..

I have deep experience defending hospitals, doctors, nurses and other health professionals in cases ranging from complex obstetric and neonatal matters to more routine primary care issues.  I have litigated and tried a wide variety of professional liability cases involving nearly every conceivable medical specialty over the course of my career, including a landmark case (Klutschkowski v. OMG), in which the Oregon Court of Appeals enforced the statutory damage cap against birth injury claims.. Based on a survey of my peers and the research of Thomson Reuters, I have been listed in Oregon Super Lawyers magazine, an honor limited to the top five percent of attorneys in the state.  Since 2011, I also have been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America as one of Oregon's best malpractice trial attorneys.

I have been a trial attorney for 17 years, practicing both criminal defense and civil litigation.  I regularly try cases in state and federal court in both Oregon and Washington.. One of my strengths and my favorite part of practicing law is relationship building.  I take great pride in the “customer service” component of my job.  My client advocacy goes beyond court appearances and negotiations.  It is the personal connections I make with my clients that distinguishes me from other lawyers.. I am personally involved in every stage of a case, from strategy and investigation, to motion practice to alternative resolutions like mediation and, ultimately, jury trial if an alternative resolution is not possible.. I began my career as a Multnomah County Public Defender, where I represented thousands of clients charged with every type of criminal case, and gained extensive trial experience.. Prior entering private practice, I was an attorney with a large insurance defense firm where I handled complex multi-party civil cases in the areas of personal injury, construction defect and real estate disputes and gained valuable insight about how large insurance companies and their law firms handle cases.. In my former life, I was a stand-up comic, winning the Portland Comedy Competition in 2000.. When not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my husband Nathan and daughter Georgia and volunteering with a variety of non-profit organizations in Portland.

I have been a lawyer assisting people who have been injured by bad drivers, doctors and lawyers in state and federal courts since 1984. I pride myself on providing fast and personal attention to resolve cases in a fast, fair and complete way. I grew up near Chicago. I graduated from public high school in 1976, and then went to Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, graduating in 1980 with a bachelor of arts majoring in economics. I spent 1980-81 cleaning the undersides of airplanes while becoming a commercial rated pilot and a certified flight instructor, instrument and airplane. I loved teaching and flying in instrument conditions, basically in the clouds or fog, using only the instruments in the airplane to maintain safe flight. In 1981, I decided I didn't want to seek a job with an airline--though I have continued to be a current  flight instructor since 1981.I enrolled in the Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College in the fall of 1981 and graduated in 1984. I spent several years working for the law school's legal clinic where I primarily assisted low-income people needing help with consumer problems. I went in to private practice upon his admission to the Bar in September, 1984. Since then, I have represented thousands of people in getting a fair resolution of their claim against wrongdoers and insurance companies. I pride myself on helping people who have been victimized by an accident or incident in getting a fast and fair result. Most people have never had to bring a claim and can be easily victimized by an insurance company. I provide fast and personal attention to assist you from the first meeting through the end of your claim. I insure that you understand where you stand from the start of the case, and keep you informed throughout the processing of the claim. I am readily available by phone or email should any questions or concerns arise during the course of your case.

I have a decade of experience handling Washington and Oregon family law cases and feel honored and lucky to have learned from the best of the best. I bring that wealth of knowledge to my practice but what truly sets me apart is my accessiblity to clients, attention to detail and approach to resolving cases in a peaceful manner.  I give my clients straight answers and the support they need to reach negotiated settlements.. Each client and family are different and I recognize that for some, a negotiated resolution is not possible and in those instances, I provide competent and effective trial advocacy.. I also offer flexible payment options to clients so may be able to offer services to those who cannot afford high retainers. Please think of me when you know somone in need of the services I offer.. When I am not working, I enjoy doing Vinyasa yoga, gardening, backpacking and bike riding with my daughter trailing behind me.

I grew up thinking I wanted to be a lawyer. After graduating from Colby in 1990 wiith a degree in philosophy, and then working for a year and a half at a large law firm, I began law school at the University of Maine in 1992. In the summer of 1994, I began my career in criminal law as an intern at the DA's office in Portland, and worked as an assistant District Attorney for several years thereafter. Since 2004 I have been a criminal defense attorney, representing clients throughout Maine. Consistent with my initial notions as a teenager, I love practicing law.. My wife Nori and I raised our two kids in Portland; they have both since graduated from college. For many years I coached youth sports, and since then have been involved as a board member for a number of organizations. Through both professional and life experience, I have learned that the best representation involves approaching each case from every angle, including what is important about, and important to, my client.. Most representation in criminal cases is complex, and all cases are unique. Knowing and understanding the criminal justice system, the prosecutors, the judges, the facts of the case, and imost importantly, my client, all play a critical role in getting the best possible result.

I grew up in the Denver Colorado area, and was active in outdoor activities.   I moved to the Portland area to attend law school and because of the great outdoor and natural beauty of the Northwest, I made the area my home.  i am active in skiing and biking and other sporting events every chance I get, as it renews my zest for life and my energy for work.. I take get joy and pride helping individuals and small business in a variety of areas where they may need help and my legal expertise and experience gained after practing law for over 39 years.

I grew up in Portland, Oregon. After high school, I first moved to Corvallis in 1993 and was an electrical engineering student at Oregon State University. After three years, I transferred to University of Colorado at Boulder to complete my engineering degree.After my undergraduate work was complete, I worked as an electrical engineer for six years, primarily with Intel Corporation in Hillsboro, Oregon. In 2002, I started law school as an evening student at Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College while continuing to work full time at Intel. During this time, I attended law school classes after work.. In 2004, I left Intel and took a clerking job at the Portland firm of Swanson, Thomas, and Coon. There I worked with a number of exceptional attorneys, primarily in the areas of workers' compensation and personal injury law. I also developed an interest in criminal law and criminal defense.In 2006, I took a position as a certified law student at the public defender's office of Multnomah Defenders in Portland. I was certified to appear in court on behalf of clients for misdemeanor trials, arraignments, motion hearings, and DUII diversions.

I got into estate planning law because it’s one of the few legal practices where everyone leaves my office happy. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients and being a small part of their family.. Before starting my practice, I helped the estate planning clients of Ben Knaupp and Associates and worked as a corporate lawyer for KT Contracting Co., Inc. At Thatcher Smith Law I get to work closely with families and individuals through major life transitions. Whether they’re starting a small business, writing their first will, or dealing with the death of a loved one, I’ve been proud to serve them.. I’m here to make sure that your planning – whatever it entails – is done quickly and successfully. The sooner you start thinking about the future, the better you’ll be prepared to deal with it once it’s actually arrived.

I focus on helping disabled people get their benefits, whether short or long-term disability benefits, private disability insurance, medical care, accidental death and dismemberment, and other forms of disability or employee benefits.. The Washington State Rules of Professional Conduct require me to state that while I have been certified as a Social Security Disability Specialist by the National Board of Social Security Disability Advocacy, the Supreme Court of Washington does not recognize certification of specialties in the practice of law and that certification as a specialist is not a requirement to practice law in the state of Washington.

I focus on comprehensive solutions to my clients' difficult situations, and with a payment structure that is transparent and competitive.

My involvement with a case spans the litigation process, and includes regularly advice on employment issues, including compliance with state and local laws and ordinances, advice regarding issues as they arise, representation before board and regulatory agencies, and when necessary, defending or litigating claims to resolution. Foremost in all of my work is an understanding of client needs, particularly the necessity to quickly understand the issues and risks at hand so as to arrive at an informed decision. I developed my legal acumen while attending Lewis and Clark Law School and clerking with the Oregon Department of Justice Trial Division, where I advised various State agencies regarding employment-related issues and litigation. After serving two years on the Lewis and Clark Law Review, I graduated with Honors in 2008.. In addition to my legal practice, I serve on the Executive Committee of the Oregon New Lawyers Division of the Oregon State Bar, and was recently honored with a Member Services Award for my work helping newer lawyers with the transition from law school to practice.

I focus my practice on intellectual property litigation, opinion work, and patent prosecution relating to high-tech industries and emerging technologies. I also maintain a strong interest in criminal and Constitutional issues, and in the areas of overlap between science and the law. I have served as a scientific expert in several criminal cases, as pro bono counsel for prisoners bringing civil rights complaints against the state, and as defense counsel in disciplinary actions brought by the Oregon State Bar.
