About Ken Selander
Ken Selander Jr earned his B.A. in political science from Stanford University in 1976 and went on to receive his J.D. from the University of Washington School of Law in 1984. Those two degrees bookend a period of study that laid a clear academic foundation for the work he would take up after law school. He moved from theory into practice at a time when the legal landscape was shifting on many fronts.
Selander built a steady legal career over the decades that followed. He took on the routines of private practice and the varied demands that come with representing clients. His path has included courtroom appearances, client counseling, and transactional work, shaped by the practical needs of those who sought his help. He kept a measured approach to each matter, favoring careful preparation and direct communication.
He has maintained active participation in his professional community. Current membership in professional associations reflects an ongoing engagement with the legal profession’s norms and networks. That engagement has offered continuing education and contact with colleagues across practice areas. It has also informed how he manages cases and interacts with other counsel.
Selander’s office is Selander O Brien PLLC. The firm name appears on filings and correspondence and serves as the base for his ongoing practice. Over the years he has handled a range of matters that private clients and businesses commonly bring to small and mid-sized firms. He has balanced litigation tasks with the quieter work of advising clients and drafting documents.
Colleagues and clients often describe him as practical and straightforward in his dealings. He tends to keep arguments clear and to focus on what is necessary to advance a client’s position. That sensibility shows up in case planning, settlement talks, and courtroom presentations. It also shapes how he staffs matters and manages client expectations.
Today he continues to practice law through Selander O Brien PLLC. He maintains an active caseload and stays involved in professional activities while providing legal representation and counsel to his clients. He currently practices at Selander O Brien PLLC, focusing on client representation and legal counsel.
