Attorney Information
Overview
For me, the law has become an integral part of my life. It’s where I find my meaning as a man, a husband, a father, and a lawyer. When people ask me what kind of lawyer I am, I usually tell them that first and foremost, I am a peacemaker.
My path to a career in law began with earning a B.S. degree at Portland State University. A law professor there steered me to Willamette University, where I earned my JD in 1984. Thus far, I’ve been living the American Dream. I’ve been married for over 40 years and have two children and four grandchildren.
I’ve been practicing law in Tualatin now for well over 40 years. In that time, I’ve represented many people with a lot of different people problems. I’ve learned what it means to help with suffering the law’s sting, in all its many legal forms. I have purposely chosen not to specialize in any one area of law because I’ve learned that a good dose of common sense is usually sufficient to solve most legal problems. For these reasons, I have chosen to be a general practitioner. I help people with what I can, and if I cannot help them, I refer them to a specialist when one is truly needed.
If you are suffering from a legal hurt, let me try to get you back on track to the life you want.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
