About this firm

We've been trailblazers from the beginning.

Since 1928, Skellenger Bender has provided the highest quality legal services to individuals, families, businesses, and governmental entities. Working alongside such diverse clients has made us more insightful, responsive, and innovative attorneys.

We're proud of our heritage of service to our clients and the community. We take as much pride in our role in the establishment of rural electrification in the Pacific Northwest, and in paving the way for the group practice of medicine in Washington, as we do in assisting individuals with new business formations, the more than one thousand adoptions handled by our family law attorneys, and the hundreds of hours of pro bono legal services we donate each year to social justice causes.

Our breadth of talent and experience, as well as our legacy of providing the highest caliber of legal representation, allow us to offer our clients cogent strategies and effective advocacy in a wide variety of practice areas.

Skellenger Bender welcomes clients without regard to race, sex, marital status, age, disability, or sexual orientation.
