Excellent Estate Planning Resource

My best friend had his will and financial affairs drawn up on Oct 2 1982 by Cynthia Barrett. He died exactly 20 years later to the day, and I was his executor. Everything went as smooth as butter, despite the fact that he hadn't done any updates in the 20 year period since it was originally drawn up.... Needless to say I was impressed. My spouse and I soon had Cynthia doing our estate planning/ will and we just updated with her after 11 years. She is smart, engaging and very present & I would highly recommend her.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2001.

Reprimand issued in OR, 2001

updated on 12/05/2009

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
