OUR TEAM

Scott started Barbur Law in Milwaukie in 2012 and has grown it from a solo general practice to a small firm, adding a Tillamook location in 2020 after assuming the practice of long-time attorney and Tillamook stalwart, Christian K. Hooley. Scott’s practice has honed its focus over the years to represent clients in estate planning, probate and trust administration, guardianships, and business and real property contracts. Having spent many of his early years practicing litigation, Scott is no stranger to the courtroom and has appeared in local, county, district and administrative courts, including winning two cases before the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals.

Scott graduated from Portland State University with a degree in geography and earned his law degree at Lewis & Clark Law School. He has served in several leadership roles around the community, including as President of the Rotary Club of Milwaukie (2014-15), as a Planning Commissioner for the City of Milwaukie (2013-17), and as Chair of the Board of Directors for the Friends of the Milwaukie Center (2019-21). When not at the office, you can find Scott outside enjoying nature in any way possible, reading about history and sociology, and enjoying the company of his family and friends.

Laura joined Barbur Law in 2021 as an Associate Attorney at the Tillamook office and is excited to serve the community she calls home. Laura grew up in Portland and completed her undergraduate studies at Portland State University where she studied psychology and political science. She developed an affinity for the coast during her childhood at her family’s vacation home in Pacific City and has lived in Tillamook County since graduating from Pepperdine School of Law in 2014.

Laura is thrilled to be working in estate planning. She especially enjoys getting to know her clients, learning about their families, and preparing for the future so that their wishes will be honored. During her time at Pepperdine, Laura also earned a Certificate in Dispute Resolution, which has provided her invaluable skills in effective communication, negotiation, and mediation.

Vicky has been working in law since 1998 and came to Barbur Law in 2017 to work alongside her husband, Scott, in their family practice. She currently serves as office manager for both the Milwaukie and Tillamook offices – handling all the little things that make them run – and as paralegal where she primarily handles guardianship files and supports with probate files. Vicky is also a licensed Notary Public.

Vicky was born and raised in Oregon and is dedicated to serving her community well. When not at the firm, you can find Vicky singing in her church choir, dancing with her Halau, or traveling to spend time with her two daughters and four grandbabies who lovingly refer to her as “Mimsy.”

Maya is a legal assistant and the primary receptionist for the Milwaukie office. She has been working for Barbur Law since 2018 and, in that time, has grown with the firm to take on duties of drafting legal documents and managing the Milwaukie estate planning and probate files.

Maya is also a licensed Notary Public.

Corinne was our first addition to the Tillamook office, coming in as receptionist late in 2020. Corinne is a Tillamook local who embodies the spirit of her community through her determination and friendliness. She has enjoyed spending the last few years involved in charity work and growing her leadership skills at Tillamook High School. She plans to attend law school in the coming years. Corinne is also a licensed Notary Public.

Amy is a native Oregonian, wife, and mother of three, and joined the Barbur Law Milwaukie office in 2020 as bookkeeper and part-time receptionist. Amy worked for 15 years as a bookkeeper in the promotional products industry.

Megan provides support to Barbur Law as its contract Director of Marketing. Megan grew up in Portland and currently resides in Ocala, Florida. In between coasts, she attended the Claremont Colleges and graduated from Scripps College with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Literature. Her love of the Spanish language has taken her from the jungles of Costa Rica to the boulevards of Madrid, Spain. Prior to building creative marketing content for clients like Barbur Law, Megan served as National Director of Estate and Gift Planning for the American Cancer Society and is no stranger to the value of estate planning. When she isn’t working or volunteering, Megan can be found spending time with her two young children and loving husband.
