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.
The ideas you’ve nurtured could go unprotected.
Loved ones could face confusion when they need comfort most.
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
“I hired Susan to help me with estate planning documents, a task that was long overdue. Susan and her staff answered all my questions, provided excellent service and I received the documentation in a timely manner. I would definitely hire Res Nova Law again (and will be doing so in the near future).”
“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.”
