Wage theft remains a serious problem, in Oregon and throughout the U.S.

Parks Law Offices, LLC is a big fan of social media. Sites like Facebook and Twitter are vital to the way we get information out, keep tabs on the news and what's happening in the community, and keep in contact with colleagues, clients, family and friends.  We use both so much, we even post the feeds directly onto our webpage.

But one social media site we've only recently started using, and slowly but surely it's becoming a favorite: Pinterest.
