The late Charles Burt joined the late Lawrence Brown in 1964,
originally establishing our firm. Mr. Burt and Mr. Brown practiced law together
for a number of years, emphasizing the representation of individuals. In
1970, Keith Swanson joined them following his service as an Oregon Supreme
Court law clerk. The firm hired Neil Lathen in 1974, after he graduated from
law school. Mic Alexander followed him and joined the firm in 1975. Don
McCann came to the firm in 1977 after spending almost two years as a State of
Oregon securities investigator. The firm hired Travis Prestwich in
2000, and Brian Lathen in 2004. The four current partners, Mssrs. Swanson,
Lathen, Alexander and McCann, have worked together in this firm their
entire legal careers and the firm's offices have been located in the historic
Capitol Center for more than 40 years.
For decades, the firm has specialized in wrongful death and personal
injury claims, including automobile accidents, products liability, medical
malpractice and premises liability. It maintains an active practice in
domestic relations and criminal defense law. It represents individuals
in claims against their own insurance companies, and handles appeals in
all areas of its practice.
The firm's attorneys actively participate in the local county bar, the
Oregon State Bar, Oregon Trial Lawyers Association and Association of
Trial Lawyers of American. The partners have held leadership roles in these
organizations. Moreover, firm members belong to the Oregon Criminal
Defense Lawyers Association and the American Academy for Matrimonial Lawyers if
their practice includes these specialities.
Most importantly, the firm continues to emphasize quality
representation of individual clients in their quest for fair and just resolution of
controversies through the legal system.
