NW Legacy Law has announced the promotion of Jakob Seegmuller to managing attorney, a move that signals the firm's commitment to maintaining its client-focused approach in estate planning and probate services. Seegmuller, who joined the firm in 2018, has built a reputation for providing compassionate and practical legal guidance to clients throughout Washington and Oregon.
In his new leadership position, Seegmuller will support NW Legacy Law's mission of serving the Clark County community by providing clear, thoughtful, and confident legal guidance.

His promotion to managing attorney ensures that these client-centered values will remain at the forefront of the firm's operations as it continues to serve individuals and families seeking comprehensive, personalized estate plans. The leadership transition positions NW Legacy Law to maintain its reputation as trusted estate planning lawyers in Washington while potentially expanding its service offerings and geographic reach.
Beyond his professional responsibilities, Seegmuller maintains strong community ties in the Portland area, residing in the St. Johns neighborhood with his wife, Alex. His community involvement and personal interests, including SCUBA diving, frequenting the local Twin Cinema, and playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends, contribute to his well-rounded perspective that he brings to his legal practice and now to his leadership role at NW Legacy Law.
