"Stephanie and Law Garden is our go-to for legal support; with broad expertise, they've been responsive and efficient, and have an intuitive sense of our nonprofit's needs and how best to navigate complex issues. We recommend them, and would be happy to share our experience with other nonprofit leaders."

Stephanie Dolan is the best. Thorough, diligent, observant, insightful, and an all-around pleasure to work with. She handles all my contracts and has done an amazing job. You will be in excellent hands if you retain her services.

Stephanie was very responsive when asked to meet. We made it clear to her that we had a short timeline to get a sales agreement together to buy a business & to work with the seller's attorney to expedite. She not only met our timeline but got our business registered with w/the state of Oregon & took care of any other legal/background issues we were not privy to. I would recommend her for the value you get for what she charges, her personality, & her operation...make her sense of community much more important to her & her client.

Stephanie Dolan represents our nonprofit organization and assisted us competently and passionately for three years, with everything from our corporate filings and drafting bylaws, to representing us in litigation and continuing into an appeal. I would not hesitate to recommend this lawyer.

The Future of Law is Client-Centered

The days of gatekeeping lawyers charging a one-size-fits-all billable hour rate are ending. Our clients have told us they care about value and results, practical and efficient solutions (without the legalese!), and that they want their legal professionals to be more accessible, flexible, technologically savvy, and responsive. We heard our clients and are building a future-ready law firm to meet their changing needs.

"The future belongs to those firms who are nimble, forward-thinking, and technology-enabled. More often than not, those are going to be small firms."
