We are proud to announce that Caleb Williams was recently awarded with the Clara Barton Honor Award for Meritorious Volunteer Leadership at the annual banquet for the Willamette Chapter of the American Red Cross. This award is the highest honor given at the local level of the American Red Cross.  Caleb has served on the board of the Willamette Chapter for the past six years and has served as chairman for the past two. In addition to leading the board, Caleb is also a member of the chapter’s Governance and Nominating Committee, Finance Committee, Philanthropy Committee, and Diversity Committee. Saalfeld Griggs is proud of Caleb’s service to our community.  

Four of our attorneys were selected as Super Lawyers recently. Erich Paetsch, Shannon Martinez, and Christine Moehl were recognized as ‘Rising Stars,’ while Bob Saalfeld received the esteemed title as Super Lawyer!

The selections for Super Lawyers are made by Law & Politics, a division of Key Professional Media, Inc. of Minneapolis, Minn. Selections are based on independent evaluation of candidates by Law & Politics’ attorney-led research staff, a peer review of candidates by practice area, and a good-standing and disciplinary check. Only the top five percent of the lawyers in the state are named Super Lawyers.

Doug Alexander, Randy Cook, Jim Griggs, and Bob Saalfeld were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2010 (Copyright 2009 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, S.C.).

Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 32,000 leading attorneys cast almost two million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their specialties, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
