About Elin Severson

As an estate attorney, I work closely with families to create estate plans that reflect their values, goals, and hopes for the future.  I also support clients during some of life's most difficult moments - when a loved one passes away - helping them navigate the legal system or trust administration with clarity and care.  My goal is to bring peace of mind, whether you are planning for the future or managing an estate.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and have proudly called Portland home for over 25 years.  I earned my bachelor’s degree in Hispanic Studies from Lewis & Clark College, graduating cum laude and being elected to Phi Beta Kappa.  Before attending law school, I spent several years  professionally training Quarter Horses . 

When I attended Willamette University College of Law, I was the managing editor of the Willamette Journal of International Law and Dispute Resolution, a member of the Willamette Law Review, and a member of  Willamette Law Online.  I graduated cum laude and in the top 15% of my class.

In my spare time, I enjoy riding my horse, camping, hiking, and spending time with family, friends, and my German Shepherds.
