We don’t normally use this weekly blog to blow our own horn. Our goal is to be responsive to our clients’ needs and provide the best professional legal services in the industry.

It is in this spirit that we would like to introduce you to our new employees, each of whom has joined the team here at Barker Martin with the express purpose of complementing our General Counsel, Litigation, and Collection services.

Drum roll please:

We are excited to introduce you to the newest members of our team: Amanda Anderson and Matt Coussens. Amanda and Matt recently joined the General Counsel and Collections practice groups in our Portland office.

Amanda K. Anderson is an associate attorney in Barker Martin’s Portland office and she focuses her practice on community association general counsel and collections matters, as well as, construction defect litigation. Amanda brings a wealth of experience in community association law having represented numerous community associations throughout Oregon in general counsel matters and construction defect and product liability litigation. Amanda graduated from Willamette University magna cum laude and was the Managing Editor of the Willamette Law Review. She is an active member of Oregon Community Association Institute (CAI-OR) and Oregon Washington Community Association Managers (OWCAM).

Matt Coussens is a paralegal in Barker Martin’s Portland office and he assists Amanda with condominium and homeowner association general counsel and collections matters. Matt joined Barker Martin after a year working in the same area of law at an established Portland area law firm. Prior to becoming a paralegal, Matt was a project manager for a public relations firm in Seattle. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in political Science and History from Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA.

As the demand for effective and efficient community association legal services continues to grow, including General Counsel and Collection Services continues to grow, Barker Martin stands ready to deliver uncompromised quality to each of our clients.
