P. Browne's Attorney Review
I have had the unique opportunity to not only hire Tim as an attorney for my business but also to work with him in my position with Oregon Farm Bureau. While the needs of both entities vary greatly, Tim's expertise surrounding all issues was, and is, outstanding. I would highly recommend Tim Bernasek to others in need of his expertise.
