How We Can Help

Practice Areas

Our firm provides comprehensive legal services to individuals, families, fiduciaries, landowners, and business owners. We combine careful planning, practical advice, and effective advocacy to help clients protect what they have built and navigate complex legal challenges with confidence

Estate Planning

We design customized estate plans that reflect your goals, values, and family circumstances. Our services include wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, advance health care directives, and business succession planning. We focus on protecting assets, minimizing conflict, and ensuring a smooth transition of wealth across generations.

Trust Administration

Serving as a trustee carries significant legal responsibilities. We guide trustees through every stage of administration, including trust interpretation, asset management and distribution, required notices and accountings, and resolution of beneficiary concerns. Our goal is to provide clear direction and reduce the risk of disputes or liability.

Probate

We assist personal representatives and families with all aspects of probate, from initiating court proceedings and identifying assets to satisfying creditor claims and distributing estates. We handle the legal and procedural requirements efficiently while remaining sensitive to the needs of grieving families.

Guardianships and Conservatorships

When individuals are unable to manage their personal or financial affairs, we provide representation in establishing guardianships and conservatorships. We also advise court-appointed fiduciaries regarding their duties, reporting requirements, and ongoing compliance obligations, always with a focus on protecting vulnerable individuals.

Business & Corporate Matter

We provide practical guidance to businesses on formation, governance, and ongoing operations including acting as general counsel for several regional business enterprises.

Commercial Transactions

We structure and negotiate complex commercial agreements, business asset and business entity purchases, sales, leases and related agreements.

Select Civil Litigation

While we emphasize proactive planning, we also represent clients in select civil disputes. Our practice includes trust and estate disputes, fiduciary litigation, business conflicts, real estate matters, and related claims. We approach litigation strategically, seeking efficient resolution through negotiation when possible and strong courtroom advocacy when necessary.

Real Estate and Land Use

We assist clients with residential, commercial, and agricultural real estate matters, including purchase and sale transactions, leases, title issues, easements, boundary disputes, and land use concerns. We provide practical guidance to protect property interests and facilitate successful transactions.

Landlord–Tenant Law

We represent landlords in drafting and enforcing leases, addressing compliance issues, resolving disputes, and pursuing eviction proceedings. Our focus is on protecting property rights while seeking timely and cost-effective solutions.

Agricultural Law

We counsel farmers, ranchers, growers and agricultural operators to navigate complex business, regulatory and property matters. We understand the unique legal and economic issues affecting agricultural operations and work to secure long-term stability for land and water resources.

Select Criminal Law

Due to Nick Blanc’s position as the City Prosecutor for the Pendleton Municipal Court, we are only able to take select criminal matters. This can include defense against misdemeanor allegations, expungements of past convictions and/or arrests, and petitions to restore gun rights.

Creditors' Rights

We represent regional banks and credit unions in secured transactions,
workouts, recovery of collateral and foreclosures.
