About

I bring extensive experience in employment defense, municipal defense and consultation, and professional liability defense.I represent clients in responding to claims arising from regulatory agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Oregon Government Ethics Commission and Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industries, and I routinely assist employers in complying with state and federal laws and regulations with the goal of avoiding legal violations and potential litigation.  Working with private and local government clients, I litigate complex factual, statutory and constitutional issues in Oregon’s state and federal courts.After graduating magna cum laude from Oregon State University and attending law school at Willamette University, I began practicing law at Hart Wagner and became a partner in 2003.  In 2008 and 2009, I was recognized as a Rising Star in Oregon Super Lawyers magazine.
