Meet Our Newest Associate Attorneys at Smith Freed Eberhard


Please join us in welcoming Phil Santos and Alex Tvaroch – our newest Associate Attorneys at Smith Freed Eberhard’s Portland, OR office!

Phil’s practice areas cover Commercial Liability Defense and Automotive Defense. He earned his J.D. from the University of Oregon School of Law, where he was honored as a Multnomah Bar Association Fellow, a Lew and Ann Williams Business Law Fellow, and a Frohnmayer Leadership Program Fellow. Originally from the East Coast, Phil has embraced the Pacific Northwest as his home. He is often outdoors, rain or shine—usually climbing, hiking, or simply enjoying the scenery.

Alex is on a Commercial Liability Defense team. Prior to joining Smith Freed Eberhard, Alex earned his J.D. from Lewis & Clark Law School, where he served as a legal extern for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas and worked as a law clerk for the Public Defenders of Marion County. When Alex is not working, he enjoys playing tennis, playing in his band, or catching a movie at the Hollywood theater.
