Elizabeth Lampson was first licensed in California over twenty years ago – and joined our firm as a result of trying a case against another Davis Rothwell attorney. The two lawyers were able to find a collaborative approach, even in advocacy, for the benefits of their respective clients – and the jury found a third party at fault. What drew her to the firm, and what remains important to her career as a litigator today, is the quality and integrity of the lawyers at Davis Rothwell, and the privilege to defend complex cases. Elizabeth has extensive jury and judge trial as well as arbitration experience, and is also a frequent speaker at industry and continuing education events. Her clients appreciate her ability to prevail at trial – achieving both business wins and gratifying conclusions for issues that are often complex and emotional. Her volunteer activities and three kids’ sports events keep her very busy when not at work – but she finds time to run, enjoy good food, wine, and company, and take advantage of the gorgeous Northwest.

Nicole Lemieux assists clients in a range of personal injury matters and advocates for survivors who have suffered due to institutional abuse or neglect. She received her Doctor of Jurisprudence from Willamette University College of Law and attended Oregon State University for her Bachelor of Science degree. Ms. Lemieux comes from a background of victim advocacy. She draws on her experience to continue demanding accountability from major institutions, like the Oregon Department of Human Services and Services for Seniors and People with Disabilities, for allowing systematic abuse to occur. She fully believes each case brought to light helps push for changes at these institutions to prevent similar abuse from happening again. This belief translates to a zealous advocacy and putting her client in the center of her focus when creating a litigation strategy.
