2029 SE Jefferson St. Suite 101 , Milwaukie , Oregon 97222

Practice Areas: Landlord & Tenant

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.

Practice Areas: Personal Injury

Chris brought her mid-west ways with her to Oregon when she moved to Portland in 1989 after graduating from Valparaiso School of Law in northwest Indiana. An Illinois native ready for a new adventure, she began her career as a trial attorney while working for a sole practitioner who holds a state contract to defend persons charged with misdemeanor cases in East Multnomah County. Chris was tasked with managing the entire caseload and represented over 1000 clients in her four years as a defense attorney. That experience taught her not only basic trial skills but also how to effectively manage the demanding particulars of trial work and case management.. In 1995 Chris began a 20-year tenure as a prosecutor with the Multnomah County District Attorneys Office. During that time Chris prosecuted hundreds of cases ranging from DUII to Capital Murder (and everything in between). She has gone to trial and verdict on "too many cases to count" on crimes of domestic violence, robbery, burglary, arson, assault, gang-related matters, official misconduct, rape, kidnapping, sexual abuse, sodomy, manslaughter, crimes against the elderly, crimes against children, murder and aggravated murder. She was also a respected member of the East County Major Crime Team for over a decade and worked closely with a multi-agency group of law enforcement officers and detectives on cases, including officer-involved shootings. Chris was known in law enforcement circles as a "go-to" deputy district attorney. And for good reason: she always took the time to listen to the concerns of those investigating crime as well as the victims affected by crime and act in their best interest.. As a prosecutor, Chris worked extensively with victims and their families. It was through these interactions that Chris gained insight into understanding how trauma affects everyone differently and how best to approach survivors' concerns while guiding them through the legal process.. In 2015 Chris branched out from the confines of a government office and opened her own shop. At Mascal Law Office, she continues to work with people that need help navigating the legal process. Whether they be persons injured in an automobile accident, vulnerable victims of crime, those wronged by the thoughtless acts of others or anyone who needs a "go-to" attorney, Chris has the background, case experience and trial hours to do the job and do it well.

Firm: Thomas Coon Newton & Frost

820 SW 2nd Ave Ste 200 , Portland , Oregon 97204

Practice Areas: Workers Compensation

Chris represents injured workers in all aspects of Oregon Workers’ Compensation claims. Because of the nature and complexity of this area of law, she limits her practice to only workers’ compensation to increase her mastery of this highly regulated and increasingly complicated system. While all attorneys specializing in Workers’ Compensation on behalf of injured workers must have a high volume of clients to be sustainable, her practice model is to maximize value in claims, employ staff to ensure our clients’ needs are met, and have a case load that allows for the highest quality representation.. Chris grew up in Kansas and graduated from the University of Kansas in 1985. She has worked in a variety of jobs including waitress, hummingbird-feeder assembler(!), and grocery clerk. In 1992, Chris graduated from the University of Oregon School of Law, where she helped found the Oregon Law Students’ Public Interest Fund, was a member of the Law Review, and earned the American Jurisprudence Award in Trial Practice. Before joining the firm in 2008, she was a staff attorney for the Workers’ Compensation Board for two years.. She chose to work at Thomas, Coon, Newton & Frost, because of its tradition of excellent legal work and community activism. Here she has been able to bring her strong commitment to the rights of working people and her passion for justice together to represent injured workers in Oregon’s Workers’ Compensation system.. Chris is a strong advocate and fighter for her clients but also strives to make the system fairer for all injured workers. She is active with OTLA’s Workers’ Compensation policy group, an executive committee member of the Workers’ Compensation section of the Oregon State Bar, and a Board member of NW Workers Justice Project. Chris is honored to have received the 2014 Doug Swanson Outstanding Workers’ Compensation Attorney Award from the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association.
