The Brague Law Firm, LLC

     I practice primarily in three areas of law:  litigation, business and education.  I litigate in both state and federal courts.  I provide legal counsel to small and medium-sized businesses, including asset purchase agreements, sales of companies, reorganizations, and formations.  I also represent students with issues involving special education, regular education, school discipline, suspension, expulsion, discrimination/civil rights, and personal injury.

     I am uniquely qualified to represent students and their families in education law because of my personal experience in pursuing an education while raising my three children.  Additionally, my youngest son also has a rare genetic condition known as Velo-Cardio-Facial-Syndrome ("VCFS") or "22q11."  This genetic condition affects us in a multitude of ways.  As such, my wife and I learned to navigate the special education system.  The IEP Tips article is based on those personal experiences.

     My legal experience includes eleven years working as a paralegal for some of the largest law firms in the United States down to small boutique firms of just a few attorneys.  As an attorney I worked with small law firms as an associate and representing my own clients of individuals and small businesses since 2008.

     I graduated from Arizona State University in 1998 receiving my Bachelors of Arts in English, cum laude, then from Pepperdine University's School of Law in 2002.  I am a member of the Oregon State Bar, Multnomah County Bar Association and Oregon Trial Lawyers Association.
