Estate planning lawyer | Jun 08

Relationship: Co-worker

"Grant has been part of the Hillsboro, Beaverton and Portland communities for years and has developed a business acumen that I have rarely seen in my 15 years of practice in the same communities. As the managing force behind a number of law firms over the years, and most recently as one of the founding members of the Hillsboro Law Group, he has developed an expertise in the development and management of a law firm that I found so compelling, I decided to join forces with him and his partners at Hillsboro Law Group after 15 years of running a small firm and solo practice of my own. With offices in Hillsboro and Beaverton and a diverse practice including criminal, personal injury, business, estate planning, probate, divorce and family law, Hillsboro Law Group will remain a solid foundation of the community for years to come."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
