After completing his legal education, Walgenkim entered private practice in Oregon. Early in his career he handled a mix of client counseling and courtroom work. He spent time learning the day-to-day rhythms of running files, meeting deadlines and preparing cases for trial. Those early years helped shape a methodical style that he still uses today.

He has represented individuals and businesses in negotiations and has taken cases before state tribunals when litigation was required. He also advises clients on transactional issues, helping them document agreements and manage regulatory concerns. His work is grounded in practical problem-solving rather than headline-grabbing litigation.
Walgenkim maintains memberships in professional associations, where he participates in continuing legal education and networking. He has used those forums to stay current on changes in Oregon law and procedure. In day-to-day practice he blends that continuing study with a straightforward approach to client communication. He explains options clearly and outlines the likely steps in a case so clients know what to expect.
At Hanson & Walgenkim, LLC he collaborates with colleagues on cases that require sustained attention to detail. The firm handles a variety of matters, and Walgenkim contributes on matters that call for careful factual development and steady advocacy. He prepares pleadings, takes depositions and represents clients in hearings when necessary. He also works on transactional work, drafting and reviewing agreements to reflect clients' objectives.
Outside the office he remains engaged with the legal community in Oregon. He attends programs and contributes to discussions that affect local practice. That engagement helps him keep practical perspectives on how rules and procedures evolve.
