About Patricia:

Patricia is an Oregon native and graduate of Lewis & Clark Law School. She helps clients with all sizes of estates because she believes everyone needs to plan for the inevitable. Estate planning has been Patricia's focus from the beginning. It is something she strongly believes in and feels that she is truly helping her clients and their loved ones.

When Patricia is not helping clients, she enjoys spending time with her son, Pierce and her dog, Jack, experiencing new restaurants, golfing and travelling to new places.
