Firm Overview

We recognize, in the practice of law, performance is paramount and headcount is no substitute for creativity and commitment. Short Cressman deliberately maintains a firm size and practice mix that affords both broad talent and focused drive to protect and advance our clients' interests.

Our firm takes pride in demonstrating, time and again, that there is no limit to what a relatively small team of dedicated attorneys and staff can accomplish when they leverage the full sum of their skills, knowledge, resources and relationships to achieve cutting edge excellence and quality.

A century ago, Short Cressman started with a focus on the land, becoming one of the Northwest's leading construction law firms. Always responsive to our clients' objectives, we evolved with them to handle nearly all of their business and individual legal needs. Over the years, we have strategically added preeminent attorneys and specialized practices to efficiently adapt and respond to the diverse needs of our clients in the ever-changing marketplace. Our integrated expertise allows us to stay grounded by our singular commitment to the integrity of all of our relationships.

Short Cressman stands for results, service and integrity. These values are intrinsically connected to our goal of providing clients with the trusted, loyal counsel they seek and have come to expect from our firm.
