Colleen brings fresh energy to the practice. She was a vital member of the estate planning team here for many years before she became an attorney—first as a legal assistant for three years and then as a summer associate while she was in law school. Her interest in and experience with estate planning run deep.
While at Lewis & Clark Law School, Colleen excelled, graduating with honors. She served on the editorial board of the Lewis & Clark Law Review and the managing boards of the Student Bar Association and the Family Law Society. She also gained valuable experience resolving clients’ federal tax controversies with the Internal Revenue Service while working as a law clerk at the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic.
Prior to law school, Colleen graduated from Whitman College with an English major and a Politics minor. Outside work, she is a voracious reader, an excellent cook, a loyal friend, a traveler, and a devoted owner of an adorable Welsh Corgi.
