West Linn, Oregon, Business and Real Estate Attorney
Large Firm Experience and Services in a Small Firm Environment
Since 1996, David Smith has provided legal services to small- and medium-size businesses in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area, including services involving:
- Business transactions and litigation
- Commercial and residential real estate transactions and disputes
- Shareholders disputes
- Construction contracting
- Construction liens and bond claims
- Corporate formation and governance
- Complex commercial litigation
- Intellectual property disputes
While The Smith Firm's clients are comprised mostly of businesses; business formation, transactions, strategies and disputes are decisions made by people. The Smith Firm's mission is to "care for businesses as people", and to share individuals' goals, help individuals navigate stressful court processes and provide hands-on, accessible legal help.
The Smith Firm provides legal services in Oregon and Washington, and several practice areas. We have years of large corporate firm experience and training, but left that environment to provide the same quality of service at small firm rates and with a small firm's accessibility. We distinguish ourselves from many other law firms by personal attentiveness and quick responsiveness to clients. In our experience, quick responsiveness is as high a priority to our clients as excellent quality of work.
Sharing Clients' Sense of Urgency
When the need for legal services arises, it is important to hire an attorney who will share your concern, and who will skillfully and diligently seek a successful resolution. A client's sense of urgency is our sense of urgency. When a legal issue is time sensitive, we work around clock to protect our client's rights and pursue a timely and successful end to the legal challenge. Our client's communicate with their attorney, not a paralegal or legal assistant. We return all phone calls quickly (usually within the same day) and are accessible to all clients.
