Lawyers who live where you do.

Laurel Law is a general practice in North Bend, serving Coos Bay and the South Coast: criminal, family, estate, business, expungement, and property matters.

A general practice, on purpose.

Most people on the South Coast do not need a specialist in one narrow corner of the law. They need someone who will pick up the phone, understand the whole situation, and handle it: the criminal charge and the custody question it complicates, the business and the building it operates from, the will and the family that will read it.

That is the practice Drew Betts, Brenton Erickson, and Taylor Rose have built. All three came up through the public defender's office in Coos Bay, and all three chose to stay: three attorneys, one office, and a deliberate decision to take on the range of work a town this size actually produces.

The name

Laurel is Oregon myrtle, the bay laurel of this coast. It grows here and in northern California and hardly anywhere else, and its wood is what Coos Bay has been carving for generations. The firm takes its name from the tree that belongs to the place.
