Insurance law involves representing both clients who have made premium payments to an insurance company for financial protection against certain types of loss, and the insurance companies themselves with regard to cases involving coverage, claims, and contracts related to health insurance, homeowners insurance, and automobile insurance.
The Dalles is the largest city and county seat of Wasco County, Oregon, United States. The name of the city comes from the French word dalle (meaning either "sluice" or "flagstone" and referring to the columnar basalt rocks carved by the river), what the French-Canadian employees of the North West Company called the now-inundated rapids of the Columbia River between the present-day city and Celilo Falls. The population was 12,156 at the 2000 census and was estimated at 12,520 in 2006. Also in the same area was the Petite Dalles or Little Dalles, or Short Narrows, which is now also inundated.
