Amy C. Osenar

Partner She/Her

Overview

Amy Osenar has been with Reinisch Wilson PC since graduation from law school in 1998. Ms. Osenar is a partner with the firm and focuses exclusively on the representation of employers, insurance companies and third party administrators in Oregon workers’ compensation matters.

My approach to effective client representation can be summed up in three words: aggressive, detailed, and realistic.  I believe that clients deserve an aggressive approach to evaluating every defense option, acquired through a detailed review of all relevant facts and law, and tempered with a realistic forecast of the likely outcome.  I have spent my entire career representing employers and carriers/processing agents in Oregon workers’ compensation matters and I am proud of my genuine connections with clients and industry leaders, many of whom I have worked with for decades.

My greatest personal joy centers around spending time with family and friends, listening to live music, and traveling.
