William Vaughan
ASSOCIATE
(503) 675-4306
William (“Will”) is a Pacific Northwest transplant, but after 21 years living amidst the natural beauty of Oregon he now considers it his permanent home. Will grew up in rural Oklahoma City, across the street from a dairy farm. There he developed the work ethic he brings with him to his law practice. Growing up in the country fostered in him an appreciation of being in nature which only continues to grow as he hikes the beautiful trails of the PNW. In addition, Will values being a well-rounded human being and enjoys the arts as well as sports of all kinds. He grew up playing any sport that included throwing, catching, hitting or bouncing a ball. As an adult, he satisfied his competitive instincts by competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission wrestling tournaments, eventually becoming certified as a part-time instructor. Will comes to the practice of law after a decade long career in internet technology, a skillset he continues to find surprisingly useful in legal practice.
