Cascade Legal Planning, LLC

From Cascade’s website: Kristin was born near Detroit, Michigan and grew up a true Midwestern girl with deep Scandinavian roots. Leaving Michigan for college, she attended a small liberal arts school in Minnesota, St. Olaf College. After half a year in Boston and a few years in south Texas, Kristin came to Oregon to attend law school at Lewis & Clark. Although she hated to leave the Pacific Northwest after law school, Kristin’s first job was with a small plaintiffs’ firm with a focus on environmental law in south Texas where she represented individuals and small business owners with contaminated property. She participated in a case that went to trial in Hidalgo County, Texas that returned a $100 million dollar verdict against multiple oil and natural gas companies. Kristin returned to Portland in 2008 and shifted her focus to estate planning. Like in her environmental work, Kristin’s focus is on helping people. In estate planning, Kristin helps clients navigate complicated family dynamics and design creative and protective solutions for preserving wealth for future generations.
