About

In 2010, I formed my own law firm in Northeast Portland to help small businesses increase their profits and limit risk. Through the use of effective strategies and customized legal documents, I help businesses improve their bottom line. I provide guidance on matters such as entity formation, contract drafting, employment advice, lease negotiation, collection of slow pay accounts, licensing agreements and corporate restructuring. With over 17 years experience, I offer proactive risk management advice to help avoid potentially costly disputes. How long has it been since someone truly listened to you? As outside general counsel, I take the time to learn about your business before giving advice. Understanding your core values allows me to solve short term problems while preserving long term goals. Call for a free consultation to see how I can add value to your business.
