We are pleased to announce the expansion of our Coeur d’Alene office with the addition of three attorneys: Jerry Mason, Nancy Stricklin, and John Cafferty. All three Idaho attorneys have practiced law in the Coeur d’Alene community for several years, and will be members of the firm’s municipal law group. They join partner Danielle Quade who has been practicing finance and municipal law in the Coeur d’Alene office for 8 years. The new office will be located at 250 NW Boulevard, Suite 204 in Coeur d’Alene.
“We are very pleased to expand our Coeur d’Alene location to better serve our clients and are excited to welcome Jerry, Nancy, and John to the firm,” said Managing Partner Steve Berenter.
