Working closely with businesses to navigate a variety of civil disputes, I endeavor to learn my client's inner workings so I can best represent their interests.As a result of my legal experiences prior to joining Schwabe, I am well-equipped to handle issues that arise in any industry.

Walters exposed me to a variety of disputes in all areas of the law, and it allowed me to work with complex matters facing Oregon's highest court. Moreover, my time in the district attorney's office gave me the confidence to successfully guide my clients through legal problems that require the initiation of court proceedings.
