Our Origins

The firm was founded by B.S. Huntington and H.S. Wilson, both of whom were educated at the University of Vermont. Mr. Huntington received his A.B. at the University of Vermont in 1882. He relocated to Michigan in 1882 and received his A.M. in 1885 at the Law Department, University of Michigan. Mr. Huntington then continued west and was admitted to the Oregon State Bar in 1885. He practiced Law in The Dalles from 1886 to 1890, before making one last trip west to Portland, Oregon in 1909.

Shortly after B.S. Huntington relocated to Portland, H.S. Wilson arrived and together they formed the partnership Huntington & Wilson in 1909. With steady growth, particularly the addition of Ted Jensen in 1930, the firm established itself as a top flight banking, real estate and insurance defense resource for local and national clients. It was this partnership that would eventually become Schulte, Anderson, Downes, Aronson & Bittner.

Our Recent History

Remaining a smaller firm size (ten lawyers presently), the firm has been able to focus its efforts on chosen specialty areas of law. The ever-growing litigation practice has, like other professional practices, required specialization efforts on the part of attorneys. Insurance defense, professional liablity, construction, real estate and business litigation have become the focus areas of our trial lawyers.

The firm has made a commitment to changing technology with online legal research as well as connections to major local and national databases through the Internet. Our world has been diminshed in size by technology and advanced methods of communication. No longer is it necessary to “trade telephone calls” with opposing counsel and clients creating needless increases to client costs. Use of email and online document transmittal create powerful tools for the small firm to work in a BIG way. To that end, Schulte Anderson is committed to continued growth and improvement of services offered in their fields of legal expertise.
