Who are you gonna trust? That’s the question that faces us daily in choosing the best restaurant, grocery store, accountant, movie theater and yes even a law firm.

Klamath Basin Once Again in Turmoil Over Water Rights
The Klamath Basin is a rugged agricultural area straddling the California-Oregon border that has seen its share of trouble. In 2001, farmers clashed with U.S. marshals and opened locked canal gates with blowtorches so they could irrigate.
