Solutions Conceived, Results Achieved
There are many law firms with well-educated, competent attorneys. However, your business demands more than just competence. For nearly 50 years, Sussman Shank LLP has obtained favorable outcomes for clients with a broad range of legal needs.
Our success is due in large part to three factors:
- The technical expertise and personal initiative of our attorneys and staff;
- Our creative approach to case management;
- The respect earned through long-standing relationships within the legal community.
Results-Oriented Legal Services
Established in 1960, our firm is dedicated to providing clients with imaginative, aggressive and practical solutions to legal problems. Sussman Shank has roots in the Portland community; several partners have been with the firm since shortly after its inception and a number of the firm's clients have been with Sussman Shank since its inception. In today's climate of mega-firms formed by merger upon merger, Sussman Shank LLP offers a refreshing alternative: accessible, result-oriented legal services performed by a small, hand-picked team of experts who are dedicated to providing satisfaction.
Creative Solutions
The law is not static. It is constantly changing due to acts of state and national legislatures, decisions of the courts, and the ever-changing business environment. Our attorneys stay on top of these changes and find creative solutions to your problems.
In addition, our firm frequently updates its technology to facilitate the delivery of legal services.
Practice Group Philosophy
Our practice groups include attorneys with similar or complementary experience and skills, allowing the full range and depth of their collective experience to be more readily available. Our attorneys also can call on the resources of other practice groups in the firm to form a team with expertise specific to your requirements. This approach offers you multiple perspectives, in-depth experience and a complete range of services, all leading to a better result for you.
We have the following practice groups:
Although our office is located in Oregon, we have lawyers admitted to practice in Washington, California and several other states. In fact, we frequently represent clients in court proceedings and business transactions throughout the country.
Billing and Fees
We believe in delivering efficient, high-quality legal services at a reasonable cost. We are always open to discussing a variety of fee arrangements to ensure that the fees charged are reasonable and appropriate. We do not "train" attorneys at your expense. In some cases, we may use more than one attorney on your case. In each case, we involve only the right component of expertise, experience and cost. We provide you with advance written information about our billing practices in addition to detailed monthly statements. Our goal is the delivery of real value to you.
