In the field of civil litigation, there is no replacement for having intimate knowledge and command of the local culture, procedures, and rules. This is particularly true when litigating in Oregon’s “trial by ambush” system, as well as in Washington State Courts, where the local rules vary from county to county and can create traps for the unwary. With roots in the Pacific Northwest dating back to the 1920’s, Martin Bischoff has extensive experience with the various different state and federal courts in the region (and elsewhere), and we reliably provide much-needed expertise on the culture, the judges, rules, practices, and the potential jury pools that enable national firms to advise clients toward winning outcomes. That is why major law firms around the country and their clients trust our attorneys as local counsel in Oregon and Washington.
