Welcome to my Lawyergist profile.  I am a graduate of both Oregon State University (go Beavers!) and the University of Oregon School of Law (go Ducks!). I have maintained a law practice in SE or NE Portland since June 1983. I speak Spanish and have familiarity with other languages, which makes me sensitive to the needs of non-native English speakers. I lived in Asia for more than a year. My two children are grown and live in SE Portland.

I do my best to treat all people fairly in all respects, and to help you people through the challenges of the legal system without undue cost or delay. 

I was elected to the Oregon State Bar House of Delegates by my peers, and I have served on the Board of Directors of Oregon Women Lawyers.

The most important skills I bring to my job as a lawyer are honesty, trustworthiness, intelligence (all kinds), and a high level of oral and written communication skills.  I look forward to hearing from you.  Please feel free to call me at. I look forward to hearing from you.
