History

Established in 2001.

Lillian Suelzle Watson founded Gresham Family & Bankruptcy Law nearly 10 years ago after working as a legal secretary, a commercial lending administrative assistant and residential loan officer. Today, as a trained mediator and arbitrator, she can resolve even the most contentious and complex issues by reaching settlements. This collaborative approach benefits clients in the form of cost savings and the reduced emotional strain a settlement offers. Taking the matter to court can expose more personal information than clients usually want known by a judge. As an Oregon native, attorney Lillian Suelzle Watson takes pride in bettering the community by making a difference in the lives of her clients through her firm.
