Attorney & Shareholder
I was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon. As a native Oregonian I have many ties to the local community. After graduating from Sheldon High, I went on to receive my Bachelor's degree from the University of Oregon. Upon graduation, I moved to San Diego, California to work at a school for children with learning disabilities and behavioral disorders.
Determined to return to the Pacific Northwest, I received my Juris Doctorate degree from Willamette University College of Law. Upon graduation, I clerked for the Hon. Charles D. Carlson at the Lane County Circuit Court. I began my law practice with local attorney Lee Kersten focusing almost exclusively on estate planning and administration, business transactions and real estate matters.
In 2018, attorney Kirk Strohman and I combined our practices to form Strohman Ford, LLC. By limiting our practice areas to estate planning and administration, business transactions and real estate matters, we are able to provide our clients with focused, knowledgeable and cost-effective advice.
I am licensed to practice law in the State of Oregon and a member of the Lane County Bar Association, Oregon State Bar, and the American Bar Association.

Recommendations
- Joel Ford and his team did a great job at helping us to get our end-of-life documents in order, so that if we're gone, our kids won't be left in the dark. It was a very thorough and well organized process. It gives me peace of mind to know the important things are in place.
