OCLA Member Endorsed Programs
In an effort to provide resources for our members, the OLCA Board of Directors has selected the following companies to be a part of the OLCA Endorsed Member Program. The company/organization’s program must complement the mission and purpose of the Oregon Landscape Contractors Association to be considered by the Board for an endorsement.
OLCA Member Endorsed Programs:
The Oregon Landscape Contractors Association (“OLCA”) and David Bowser of Jordan Ramis PC are pleased to offer the Legal Access Program, a free program for all Regular and Associate Members.
Legal Access entitles each OLCA Regular and Associate Member to approximately fifteen (15) minutes per calendar month of FREE legal advice from Jordan Ramis PC attorney David Bowser. If your question cannot be reasonably answered within the allotted 15 minutes, David will estimate the amount of additional time he believes the answer will require. You may then elect to hire Jordan Ramis PC to represent you further on that matter, hire other counsel, or drop the matter altogether.
It's simple to access David for advice at 503-598-7070 or toll-free at 888-598-7070 and provide your organization name.
Legal Access services are intended for one-time, situation-specific questions relating to your business. This member benefit is not intended to cover matters that require ongoing legal advice beyond the initial 15-minute consultation. Members can ask about corporate or business matters, employment matters, contracts, water rights, land use, leasing or buying of operations and property, immigration compliance (I-9 requirements), regulatory matters, liens, equipment loan documents, line of credit and banking matters, liability associated with accidents, construction disputes, and other matters relevant to their business. Personal advice and advice relating to worker's compensation, and accounting issues are not included in the Legal Access program. However, David will be happy to provide members with referrals to specialists in those matters. If you call regarding a specific dispute, David will ask you for the names of the parties involved and the subject of the dispute to ensure Jordan Ramis PC does not have any conflicts
of interest.
Please have this information ready before you call with regard to a dispute. David cannot advise you regarding a dispute with another OLCA member.
David Bowser and Jordan Ramis PC are committed to offering responsive, efficient, and results-oriented legal services to clients, and encourage you to take advantage of the Legal Access program to resolve legal issues before they become business problems.

Entities or Companies interested in forming a partnership with OLCA must demonstrate in writing the ways in which the program will be a benefit to OLCA Members. Participation and any subsequent membership with the company/organization are separate from OLCA and services are handled directly by the company/organization. OLCA Member Endorsed Programs are established by a board vote and are renewed annually. Existing programs must demonstrate participation by and benefit to OLCA and justify the continuation of the relationship in writing. The board may determine to limit the number of endorsed programs.
Interested in becoming an OLCA Member Endorsed Program? Contact Stacey Barrett, OLCA Association Manager, at 503.253.9091 or sbarrett@oregonlandscape.org.
