The Risks of Choosing the Wrong Lawyer
A lawyer should bring you peace of mind—not more uncertainty. But when legal guidance is rushed, impersonal, or reactive, the consequences can ripple through your life, business, and legacy. The wrong legal partner doesn’t just miss details—they miss what matters to you most.
You’re handed a stack of documents—without ongoing support to keep them working.
Your wishes may never be honored because no one took the time to understand what really matters to you.
Your loved ones could be dragged through probate, confusion, and costly delays.
Your children could end up in the care of someone you never would have chosen.
Your business and assets might be exposed to taxes, lawsuits, or government claims.
At Res Nova Law, we don’t cut corners. We deliver thoughtful, customized legal solutions that protect what matters most.

Trusted by Families and Businesses in Washington & Oregon
“Susan Ford helped me prepare for a small claims case (where I represented my company) for a customer that sued us for nearly $5,000. Before hiring Susan I had checked with two other lawyers but I did not feel confident. Susan helped with both the mediation and the final court hearing. With her knowledge in my brain, I was able to make a clear and coherent explanation of events. The judge decided the case in my favor. I recommend Res Nova for anyone dealing with business issues in Oregon.”
“I am so grateful to have found Susan and her colleagues at Res Nova Law. Over the last two years they have helped me with a patent, trademark, contract documents, and also have provided wonderful general business support. As a first-time business owner, I am eternally grateful to Susan and her team for their guidance that has given me confidence in my path forward. I highly recommend Res Nova Law!”
