Skellenger Bender is a highly-respected small firm with a focus on representing design professionals and others in the construction industry. I came to admire their skills in and out of the courtroom while working on several cases with them while at CH2M HILL. Additionally, the firm has a renowned family law practice and esteemed criminal defense lawyers on staff. I will be handling general civil litigation, construction and design professional matters, as well as labor and employment counseling and litigation. If I -- or the Skellenger Bender team -- can be of any assistance with Washington, Oregon or Alaska-based legal issues you or someone you know has, please do not hesitate to contact me. Alan D.
