Tab is a member of our litigation department and represents individuals and businesses across diverse industries in a variety of civil litigation cases. Tab enjoys navigating complex legal disputes and working with his clients to identify creative and effective strategies to reach the best resolution for each particular case. Sometimes a client's case can be won short of trial through motion practice. Other times, a case is best resolved through mediation or informal dispute resolution and negotiation. Tab has significant experience resolving problems through both of these strategies.
Additionally, Tab is a seasoned litigator with substantial trial and courtroom experience, and experience crafting effective, practical trial strategies. If the best resolution for a client's case is a trial, Tab has the experience and insight that allow him to put the client's best foot forward in a courtroom.
Tab has been selected by his peers as an Oregon Super Lawyers "Rising Star," an honor that is reserved for only 2.5% of Oregon lawyers. He has also been selected for inclusion in the inaugural 2021 Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch list.
Outside of the office, Tab enjoys spending time with friends and family. Tab and his wife Abby are proud (and busy!) parents to William, Freddy, and twin girls Nell and Jane, and their family dog Jack.
