Wilsonville Hires New Assistant City Attorney

Wilsonville has hired a new assistant city attorney - Amanda Guile-Hinman, the city announced Tuesday. She rakes over for Barbara Jacobson who was promoted to city attorney.

Guile-Hinman had been in private practice at Portland-based Bateman Seidel.

While there she represented numerous clients on real estate and other business related cases. In practicing law, Amanda has also actively offered pro-bono legal services in partnership with Legal Aid Services of Oregon’s Domestic Violence Project, where she represented two dozen domestic violence clients.

“Working for the City of Wilsonville is an excellent opportunity for me to help people, support the needs of the community and meet the day-to-day legal challenges of a fast-growing and developing community," she said.

As an active volunteer, she is also a board member on the Portland Art Museum’s Northwest Arts Council and a board member of the Wilsonville-based nonprofit Mark and Monica Nyman Foundation that promotes education and leadership opportunities for youth.

Gile-Hinman, who grew up in Keizer, says that likes spending time with her family and being outdoors with her husband where they enjoy hiking, running and kayaking.
