an OREGON-BASED LAW FIRM
For People and the Places they Love
Welcome to Willamette Law Group PC (WLG), where we advocate for people and the places they love. This is a unique law firm. Keep reading for our philosophy.
Willamette Law Group PC blends aspects of a traditional for-profit law firm with a dedication to public interest work. Our vision is to help people, places, and the planet. Loosely translated, that means we primarily represent two types of people:
01.
Many law firms handle various litigation and planning matters, but very few also use their legal skills to protect public lands and natural resources. That’s what sets Willamette Law Group PC apart. Because injured people and imperiled places deserve a good lawyer.
Injured people of all kinds (car crashes, wrongful death, insurance disputes, etc.) and people beginning their own estate planning journey or winding down the affairs of another;
02.
People fighting to preserve and protect the natural environment (our forests, streams, public lands, and the critters that live there, etc.).
“Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
-Theodore Roosevelt

Jesse founded Willamette Law Group PC in 2012. With a background in medical research and developmental biology, Jesse combines his medical, scientific, and legal training to best help his clients. Especially in personal injury and environmental cases, Jesse finds that his hard-science background helps him understand his clients’ needs and, more importantly, how to fight for them.
