Three generations of Lewis & Clark Law Alumni

Ronald (Ron) Bryant ’64, originally from Central Oregon, began his academic journey at Central Oregon Community College in 1955 before earning his law degree from Northwestern School of Law in 1964. The allure of the desert called him back to Central Oregon, where he built a successful practice specializing in litigation, family, business, and estate planning law. Ron also served the Oregon State Bar as a member of the Professional Responsibility Board, the Board of Governors, the Professional Liability Fund, and several bar committees. Beyond his legal career, Ron raised his family in the region and served as Mayor of Redmond, among numerous other accomplishments. Though retired, Ron still goes to his Redmond office every day where he works with his son, Steven Bryant.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Steven Bryant ’91 earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Oregon before attending Lewis & Clark Law School, graduating in 1991. After clerking for the Oregon Court of Appeals, Steven has practiced alongside his dad in Redmond for the past 33 years, focusing primarily on family law, business, estate planning and probate. He regularly volunteers at the Redmond Senior Center where he provides pro bono legal services. Steve also served as the President of the City Attorneys Association in 2011, and received the key to the city of Redmond in 2020.

Steven’s daughter, Megan Bryant-Tiktin ’24, mirrored her father’s path not once, but twice. After receiving her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Oregon in 2019, Megan initially worked with families of children with behavioral and developmental disabilities. Deciding law school was her next step, she graduated magna cum laude from Lewis & Clark Law School in 2024. During her studies, Megan gained valuable experience as a law clerk for a family and criminal law firm and interned with Oregon Consumer Justice, where she concentrated on arbitration, class action, and data privacy legislation. In her final year, she also served as President of the Student Bar Association. Since graduating, Megan has thus far resisted the pull of Central Oregon and is currently an associate with O’Hagan Meyer in Portland, where she practices labor and employment law.
