Tamara B. Maher

Tamara B. Maher

Tamara has enjoyed over 15 years in the practice of law, primarily practicing solo or with small firms. She practices in a variety of areas, including estate planning, probate, elder law, guardianship/conservatorship, family law, real estate, consumer law and assisting small businesses. She has provided guidance and legal representation to hundreds of families and individuals, and genuinely values the personal relationship she develops with so many people in these legal endeavors.

When she is not at work, and sometimes while she is, she enthusiastically volunteers as a puppy raiser for the Pups with Vision Puppy Raising Club, as part of the Guide Dogs for the Blind program in Boring, Oregon and San Rafael, California. She and her daughters are currently raising their fourth puppy.
