Jill has worked with Alan since 2008. She is also a Legal Assistant and is experienced with both Oregon and Washington law. She has worked in the area of commercial collections and bankruptcy for almost 15 years. One of Jill's regular tasks at the office is walking Wally to the Post Office.
Jill enjoys spending time with her daughter, Haley - which helps her filter Alan's instructions. Her other interests include reading, camping out, and generally being in the outdoors. One other thing: GO DUCKS!
Wally Davis-Mitchell Wally is our office's official greeter. This is appropriate not just because he has a kind face but also because he is an officially registered Therapy Dog.
When he's not working at our office, Wally volunteers with the Read To The Dogs program at the Multnomah County Library's Belmont Branch (with a little help from Alan). Here's a link to an article in the Portland Upside publication about Wally and the Read To The Dogs program: http://portlandupside.com/issues/The.Portland.Upside.Jan.2010.issue.9.web.pdf.
Wally's other interests include long walks in the park, fine kibble, and having his belly rubbed while lying in front of the fireplace.
