"I worked with Don on the wrongful death case of Chapin Clark who tragically died when the boat capsized in a stretch of whitewater on the Rogue River. The outfitter and guide lacked the necessary rescue skills and safety equipment to save Mr. Clark's life. All he could do was watch him drowned. Along with his client, Mr. Clark's daughter, Don and his staff took this case beyond the courtroom and helped get legislation passed that required better rescue skills and equipment for Oregon's whitewater outfitters."
