Ball Janik is pleased to highlight that for the 8th consecutive year, Chambers USA has recognized our co-founder, Stephen Janik, as the sole Oregon real estate and land use lawyer with a “star ranking.” This honor is designated for lawyers with “exceptional recommendations in their field.” According to Chambers, commentators widely agree that Stephen Janik is “an outstanding attorney and go-to land use expert,” with one going so far as to call him “incredible and absolutely unparalleled” in the real estate market.
Further, Chambers noted that Bradley Miller is “unbelievably efficient.” According to clients, “he goes above and beyond what is what is expected. He is so fast and has such a sharp legal mind; he’s wonderful.”
