Wendy
Paralegal
Patricia graduated from Belmont Abbey College in Belmont, North Carolina in 1986 obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in History and then obtained a Master of Arts Degree from George Washington University in Washington, DC in 1989.
In the 90s, Patricia worked as a paralegal for a Fortune 500 company in Charlotte, North Carolina where she maintained over 200 company minutes books, reported officer stock purchasers/sales with the NYSE and SEC, assisted with multiple purchases and divestitures, worked with the company’s risk management department on managing product liability cases as well as assisting with the paperwork for the company’s environmental cleanup of superfund sites.
Moving to Oregon in 2003, Patricia worked for a personal injury attorney in Bend for 4 years before taking a position in Redmond, Oregon in 2007 where she began assisting attorneys doing general litigation, land use, estate planning, probate, company formations and bankruptcy.
Patricia was the President of Central Oregon Legal Professions for over 5 years and is currently COLP’s Chapter Director. In 2018, Patricia was NALS of Oregon’s Annual Meeting Chair.
In her free time, Patricia is a co-director of the NWRSA (Northwest Regional Spinning Association) Area 6065. She also enjoys her membership in the local historical society and VFW Auxiliary.
Linda is a paralegal assisting the attorneys in the areas of civil litigation, personal injury and land use. Her first introduction to law was working part time for a law firm during college. An assistant left the firm and Linda was asked to fill the position.
At first, Linda said no, but being attorneys; they were very persuasive. That was over 25 years ago, and she is still working in the areas of civil litigation, personal injury and land use.
Linda has a busy schedule enjoying four children and four grandsons, gardening, hiking, cross-country skiing and bike riding.
