Alterman Law Group gets hands-on in real estate development

Last week we joined our friends at Calbag Metals to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity at its Foster Commons project in southeast Portland, where for a day we nailed in drywall, hung blinds, and installed anti-tipping safety devices for ranges – hands-on real estate experience for everyone in our firm. Kudos to Elizabeth English for connecting us with this fine organization and for her service on the board of Habitat for Humanity – Portland Region.
