About Tasha Lyn
Tasha Lyn Cosimo earned her law degree from the University of Miami School of Law in 2008. She graduated earlier from the University of Rhode Island in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts in political science and sociology. Those academic years set a foundation that blends public policy, individual rights, and legal analysis.
Her early professional work brought her into public-interest law. In 2011 she served as a staff lawyer in special education at Disability Rights Oregon. That role placed her at the intersection of education law and disability advocacy, where she represented students and families and worked on administrative and legal remedies.
By 2012 Cosimo was working in private practice. Records show she held positions at Wiscarson Law and also became a partner at Smith Freed Eberhard that year. Her practice moved into civil litigation and related defense work, and she began participating in bar and professional organizations that reflect those interests.
She holds memberships in several professional groups. She has been a member of the Oregon State Bar and the Multnomah Bar Association since 2011. She joined the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association and Oregon Women Lawyers Association that same year. In 2012 she added membership in the Oregon Association of Defense Counsel. Since 2015 she has been a member of the Washington State Bar Association. Those affiliations suggest sustained engagement on both sides of the dispute-resolution field and across two state jurisdictions.
In 2020 Cosimo worked at two firms: Chenoweth Law Group and Caress Law PC. The firm listings indicate continued experience in litigated matters and private practice settings. She is admitted to practice in Oregon and Washington, and she holds a Certified Information Privacy Professional credential from the International Association of Privacy Professionals. That certification signals formal training in privacy and data-protection issues, an area that increasingly intersects with litigation and compliance concerns.
Her career weaves public advocacy, defense practice, and privacy qualifications. She has represented clients in education-related disputes, navigated civil defense matters, and added privacy expertise to her portfolio. Today she is associated with Caress Law PC and continues to practice in Oregon and Washington, handling civil litigation, privacy matters, and education-related legal issues.
