Along with expert legal and business advice, our firm prides itself on becoming friends with our clients. We normally don't refer to our clients in the abstract, calling them the client amongst ourselves or in discussions with others. Instead we refer to them as the Van Zants or have I introduced you to my friend Steve Konell.

We take pride in the fact that we form relationships that go beyond the typical lawyer/client. We do not charge our friends to pick up the phone and call us, whether to bounce ideas, talk about a problem, or find out when the next fishing trip is. In the coming months we will display pictures and tell stories of trips with our friends on this portion of our web site. Whether it be fishing or bird hunting in Hells Canyon (picture), floating in Jerry Lawson's drift boat on the Clackamas for winter Steelhead or Coho Salmon, or skiing or snowmobiling in the Oregon mountains, we will put it here and invite you to come along.

If anyone, current friend or prospective friend/client is interested in taking a fishing, hunting, skiing or hiking trip, whether you need legal services or not, call us and you will get an invitation. We look forward to sharing these trips with you as they make our lives more fulfilled and the practice of law an easy exercise in human relationships. Thanks and come join us!
