In recent years, his practice has focused on litigating construction, real estate, and trust disputes while also handling transactional work in business, real estate, estate planning, and elder law planning. His mix of litigation and planning work allows him to assist property owners, families, and businesses with disputes as well as documents and transactions intended to reduce future legal problems.

Andy earned a B.S. from Santa Clara University in 1992 and a J.D. from Willamette University College of Law in 1999, graduating magna cum laude. At Willamette, he served as Business Manager for the Willamette Law Review. His academic record and law review experience provided a strong foundation in legal research, writing, and analytical discipline, which supports both contested litigation and detailed transactional work involving property, business interests, trusts, and long-term planning.

His practice addresses construction and real estate disputes, trust-related conflicts, and transactional matters involving business and property. Weatherford Thompson also identifies him with estate planning, probate, real estate law, elder planning, construction law, and civil litigation. This breadth allows Andy to work on legal issues that often overlap, such as property disputes connected to business ownership, trust assets, construction projects, or estate and elder planning concerns.

Andy Bean is active in professional and community organizations, including the Linn-Benton Bar Associations, Albany Partnership for Housing and Community Development, Linn County CASA, and a local after-school program. His practice combines courtroom work with transactional planning and community service. By handling both disputes and forward-looking legal arrangements, Andy helps Albany-area clients address immediate legal conflicts while also structuring business, property, and estate matters with future risks in mind.
