During the last fifteen years, consolidation of financial service businesses has accelerated exponentially. Credit transactions that would have been administered locally may now be administered by an office in Minneapolis, Nashville, or Cleveland. Regional and national law firms serve centralized administration centers, but concepts of jurisdiction and venue have not followed geographic centralization. Local rules still call for admission pro hac vice with a local sponsor who will materially participate in the case.

At Muhlheim Boyd, we recognize the needs of regional and national clients who must use Oregon courts to assert claims and protect collateral. We can directly assist in a cost-effective manner. Upon request, we will provide a "flat-rate" schedule for representation on routine matters such as claim and delivery in state courts, relief from the automatic stay in bankruptcy cases, and non-judicial foreclosure of trust deeds. We also provide local support for national and regional counsel who consistently find that our office provides a level of support comparable to their own offices. Our attorneys participate only to the extent required by local rule and the needs of our clients and co-counsel. They can identify local interpretation of substantive and procedural law and suggest successful approaches to presenting matters to specific courts. Our paralegals have the training and experience necessary to "second chair" at evidentiary hearings. Perhaps more importantly, they are familiar with the unwritten customs of the local courts.
