Jeff's work spans two continents and gazillions of dollars in transactions, but he's there when you need him for local deals, too.
John Devine
Lawyer, Developer, Golfer
John's career has taken him into the darkest corners of government, and he's lived to tell the tale; now he makes deals happen and dreams come true.

industry recognitions
We feel the best indicator of how well we serve our clients is how often our clients come back to us. As it turns out, our clients come back quite a bit, and our favorite kind of praise is when a client returns for help with another problem, or refers a friend or colleague. That makes us super happy. So, we aren't really sure how much weight anyone should give an industry rating or ranking service, but there are a bunch of them for lawyers and law firms. To the extent those matter, and since it is always nice to get a friendly pat on the back from an outside source, we are pleased to be listed as a top tier firm by all of the major rating services (Chambers Best Lawyers for Business; U.S. News & World Report; Best Lawyers In America; SuperLawyers). We even have some fancy acrylic plaques in our lobby - come by and see them some time. Also, we are the only firm in the world that is listed in Best Boutique Law Firms With an Onsite Espresso Machine and Overlooking Portland's Historic Exchange Street. While it's true that we maintain that listing service ourselves and the selection criteria is highly subjective, we still are proud of the award and stand firmly behind its legitimacy. We can't show you an acrylic plaque for that one, but we can brew you up a mighty fine cup of espresso. Come by for a sample some time.
