Greetings, and welcome to the website of Karen M.W. Knauerhase, attorney at law.

My practice is general, though I focus on elder law (including wills, trusts, powers-of-attorney, etc.) and small business law (incorporation, partnerships, etc.).  I also handle insurance matters, including legal aspects of claims and coverage.  Please click on the links in the boxes above to learn more about these areas of law and the services I offer.

As a sole practitioner, I pride myself on offering excellent customer service, trying always to "de-mystify" the law and explaining choices and options in a clear, easy-to-understand manner.  Many of my services are flat-rate, so you can be assured of your attorney's time without the proverbial "meter" running up charges.

My office is conveniently located just south of downtown Portland, in the Burlingame neighborhood, though I serve clients throughout the Portland metro area and beyond.  I work exclusively by appointment, with evening and weekend times by request.  I am also able to schedule "housecalls" for clients who may have difficulty traveling.  I accept Visa and Mastercard.

If I can be of help to you, please contact me for an initial consultation.

Oregon Governor Kulongoski has appointed Ms. Knauerhase as Public Member of the State Board of Optometry.

Ms. Knauerhase has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Scappoose Senior Center.
