Bear Wilner-Nugent

Counselor and Attorney at Law LLC

Since I went into private practice in 2008, I have represented many parties on both sides of a wide variety of lawsuits. This remains a cornerstone of my practice. But I don't work on a contingent fee basis or on behalf of insurance companies. Clients come to me when their number one need is for a skilled and tenacious courtroom lawyer, and I represent them on an hourly fee basis.

I have experience litigating in federal court and state court and before administrative agencies in every corner of Oregon. I have handled lawsuits involving business-to-business disputes, business ownership and control disputes, breaches of contract, real property and lease disputes, legal malpractice, personal injuries, intentional torts, stalking, restraining orders, sexual harassment, civil rights, accidents, product liability, fraud, state and local regulatory issues, tax lien enforcement, and many other issues.

I frequently represent clients in Oregon's thriving cannabis industry in business litigation. I am able to pair my broad experience representing cannabis businesses in regulatory and licensing matters with my lengthy track record as a litigator. If your business has a dispute with another business, or with any person or government agency, think of me.

As a highly experienced appellate lawyer, I am also capable of handling post-trial matters on behalf of my clients. I am licensed all the way up to the United States Supreme Court. Whether your civil matter is at the trial stage or on appeal, I can help.
