Well folks, it’s that time. 935 posts, including tomorrow’s wish for a happy new year.

I’ve been a practice management attorney for nearly 25 years. First with the Professional Liability Fund, then here at Oregon Law Practice Management.

I won’t say goodbye, as I may occasionally pop in and blog. But it won’t be weekly, as has been my practice for over 11 years. My law practice management business, as such, is dissolved effective today.

I will retain them, of course. Attendance at live CLEs offered by Oregon Law Practice Management is on record with the Oregon State Bar for all years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020).

Recorded CLEs

All CLEs are preserved on audio and video, as are program materials, MCLE forms, etc. If you need anything, give me a holler. Contact me directly for more information.
