We believe that by know­ing our client’s and their goals in depth, that we are bet­ter at defin­ing, pre­sent­ing and pre­vail­ing on the issues at hand.

Our Team

Lewis Farmer,  Managing Attorney

Lewis has moved around the coun­try, liv­ing in Texas, Geor­gia, Ohio, Cal­i­for­nia and Ore­gon. After grad­u­at­ing from Pitzer Col­lege in Clare­mont, Cal­i­for­nia, Lewis got his first job at a law firm as an Office Assis­tant. It was work­ing there that he decid­ed to go to law school and enrolled at Lewis and Clark Law School in Port­land, Ore­gon. After grad­u­at­ing there, he took some time as a Para­le­gal before sit­ting for the bar exam and pass­ing on his first attempt, years out of law school, while work­ing full time and plan­ning his wedding.

Lewis is most expe­ri­enced in fam­i­ly law mat­ters, landlord/tenant mat­ters, estate admin­is­tra­tion, and real estate trans­ac­tions and disputes.

Erica Martinez,  Paralegal

Eri­ca has only lived in two states–Oregon and South Dako­ta. While she has­n’t seen much of this coun­try (has only been to Cal­i­for­nia once if you don’t count lay­overs) she has seen the world. Eri­ca has been to Ire­land 4x (but who is count­ing?), Eng­land, Wales, France, Ger­many, Aus­tria, Roma­nia, Cyprus, and Jor­dan, and of course Mex­i­co. There is noth­ing not fun about traveling.

Eri­ca knew she want­ed to be a lawyer ever since she watched Mat­lock as a child. Her pas­sion is immi­gra­tion law, main­ly due to her par­ents arriv­ing in this coun­try with­out papers.

Eri­ca has earned her B.S. in Eco­nom­ics at South­ern Ore­gon Uni­ver­si­ty in Ash­land, OR and her J.D. at Uni­ver­si­ty of South Dako­ta Knud­son School of Law in Ver­mil­lion, South Dakota.
