Page 6A RECORDS East Oregonian HERMISTON Lougee, Denner join New attorney joins East Oregonian staff Bendixsen Law EO Media Group By JADE MCDOWELL East Oregonian Bendixsen Law in Hermiston has welcomed a new attorney to its team. Brandon C. Foy left the Umatilla County District Attorney’s ofice this month to join Kurt and Cameron Bendixsen in private practice. He is currently accepting new cases. Foy moved to Herm- iston in August after graduating from Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland. He said he decided to switch from the district attorney’s ofice to private practice to work with people “on a more personal level,” helping them through whatever dificulties caused them to seek out legal help. “Usually when someone needs an attorney, it’s not a good situation,” he said. Foy said he believes his experience on the criminal prosecution side is valuable now that his work includes handling criminal defense cases. “Having been on the other end looking at cases, seeing what’s good and what’s not good and what to look for, deinitely helps,” he said. Foy grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and earned an undergraduate degree in inance from the University of Alaska Anchorage. He had been interested in public administration, but after accompanying a friend to a law school fair decided he wanted to attend law school too. He had spent some time in Oregon and said the state was “at the top of my list” for law school. After graduating from Lewis & Clark in January 2015 he and his wife moved to Herm- iston in August. They welcomed their third child in December. Foy said they were excited to purchase their irst house after moving around several times during their marriage. “We’re making a home now, setting down roots,” he said. Foy is also in the Oregon Air National Guard after irst joining the military in 2003 with the Alaska National Guard. ——— Contact Jade McDowell at jmcdowell@eastorego- nian.com or 541-564-4536. acquaintances.
