Candyce works dilligently to keep Luvaas Cobb moving behind the scenes by handling all components of the firm including: technology, marketing and practice development, human resources, bookkeeping, facilities management, insurance and benefits, the law library, and more.
“My goal is to make sure our law firm runs smoothly so our attorneys can focus on practicing law and meeting the needs of our clients efficiently and successfully,” says Candyce. She believes that “knowledge, resources and networking are the key to success” so she is actively involved with the Association of Legal Administrators, the Legal Marketing Association, the Society for Human Resource Management, the International Legal Technology Association, Oregon Women Lawyers, the Law Practice Management Section of both the American Bar Association and the Oregon State Bar, and has served as a subject advisor for the Lane County Bar Association’s Computer Technology Section.
Candyce started her legal career over 30 years ago by obtaining certifications as a Legal Secretary and in the General Principles of Property and Liability Insurance, while also taking courses at American River College. This solid foundation helped Candyce as she advanced her career as a paralegal for attorneys handling personal injury matters. She has worked for three of Oregon’s most reputable law firms, including four past Oregon State Bar presidents. She joined Luvaas Cobb in 2006 and looks forward to continuing her professional accomplishments by obtaining certification as a legal administrator.
While her professional achievements are important to her, Candyce is quick to tell you that her two children are her greatest success. When not at the office or visiting with her kids, Candyce and her partner like to spend their time exploring the beautiful outdoor spaces of Oregon. In addition to hiking, Candyce loves spending time in the kitchen, and while not listed as one of the five languages, she is sure that cooking is her love language! She also enjoys traveling, live music, gardening, "putzing" around the house, and spending time with her family, friends, and her cats. Candyce places a lot of value on a good sense of humor and likes to quote Buddy the Elf, “I just like to smile, smiling's my favorite.”
