About us
About us
Our firm is attorney Andrew DeWeese and operations manager / paralegal Steph Barnhart. We are based in Portland and handle matters statewide.
Our practice involves advising and representing clients who are in the most stressful situations of their lives: a hostile takeover; the breakdown of relationships in a family business; a notice of intent to revoke a business license; a catastrophic business loss.
These critical situations call for a lawyer who correctly analyzes the legal relationships at stake, who clearly and accurately describes the legal stakes involved to their client, and who is a skilled courtroom advocate.
This lawyer must also be committed to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism, so the client does not question the lawyer’s commitment to acting solely in the client’s best interests and providing unvarnished, direct advice and counsel.
Thus, our motto is “Experience Driven by Integrity.” We put these values into practice every day when serving our clients, and we are proud that many clients continue to rely on our counsel for years.

Testimonials
Over the last 7 years, I’ve worked with Andrew on a number of complex projects involving intellectual property, copyright, data privacy, mergers/acquisitions and more. He is a steadfast and compassionate ally who elegantly and eloquently insulates me from risk and protects my interests. I can’t imagine entrusting my most important career matters to anyone else!
Andrew has proven to be an incredibly valuable asset to my business. He and his team have been diligent and instrumental in helping me deal with a couple legal issues I have faced. One of which, was a litigation nightmare created by my previous counsel. Without Andrew's professional assistance, I would have been at a complete loss. If you are looking for quality representation you can really count on, I wouldn't look any further than Andrew DeWeese, PC.
After contacting over 25 lawyers to discuss my case Andrew stood out as someone I could trust. He's a great listener and always asks relevant probing questions to better understand my case. His advice and strategies to best support me give me hope that I've got a lawyer I can trust that truly works for me.
Working with Andrew DeWeese PC, we felt comfortable and confident. Andrew acted without hesitation and was immediately effective. Steph is competent and enjoyable to work with as well. They were experienced in the type of situation that we needed resolved.
