I have handled personal injury and workers’ compensation claims in the Grants Pass, Oregon building where I started my practice in October of 1980.

I had great fun writing the following article which originally appeared in the Summer 2014 issue of Trial Lawyer magazine, the quarterly journal of the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association.
