WMF Paules Attorney At Law

As an attorney with over two decades of experience in land conservation and real estate law, I have dedicated my career to protecting Oregon's natural landscapes and advocating for clients' legal interests. My practice focuses on complex transactions involving conservation easements, land use planning, and real estate matters, drawing on extensive experience working with government entities, nonprofits, and private landowners. A fifth-generation Oregonian, I combine deep local knowledge with specialized expertise in negotiating property rights, resolving boundary disputes, and structuring conservation deals ranging from small parcels to thousand-acre acquisitions. My legal approach emphasizes interest-based negotiation techniques learned at the Harvard Negotiation Institute, aiming to achieve balanced solutions that protect both environmental values and financial interests.

With memberships in the Oregon State Bar's Environmental and Natural Resources sections and active participation in organizations like the Land Trust Alliance, I maintain a strong professional network to benefit clients. My commitment to clear communication and pragmatic problem-solving forms the foundation of every attorney-client relationship, whether representing individuals in rural property transactions or advising conservation organizations on grant-funded acquisitions.
