Thirty-one Tonkon Torp attorneys in 11 practice areas have been included in the 2018 Oregon Super Lawyers or Rising Stars lists.
Tonkon Torp partner and bankruptcy authority Albert Kennedy has been once again recognized on the Top 50 list of Oregon lawyers rated most highly by their peers statewide.
New to the Super Lawyers list are business litigators Ryan Bledsoe and Christopher Pallanch.
