The Strength of the Team

Mary Stade brings a unique blend of high-stakes precision and human-centered leadership to Tanzosh Family Law. As a seasoned Family Law Paralegal, Mary is the operational engine behind the scenes, ensuring that every case is handled with the meticulous attention to detail it deserves. Her background in family law gives her a sharp perspective on the complexities of legal transitions and a steady hand when navigating difficult circumstances.

Strategic Leadership, On and Off the Court

Outside of the office, Mary’s life is defined by a different kind of advocacy. Known in the community as “Coach Mary,” she is the Head Coach and Market Owner of the Willamette Valley Jaguars, a professional men’s basketball team. She made history by leading the first all-female coaching staff in men’s professional basketball—a testament to her belief that leadership is about merit, mentorship, and building a culture of mutual respect.

Driven by Community

Whether she is managing a complex legal file or coaching from the sidelines, Mary’s philosophy remains the same: people come first. A “basketball scholar” who studied the game from a young age, she applies that same intellectual curiosity and strategic thinking to her legal work.

A native of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and a graduate of Western Michigan University, Mary has called Oregon home for decades. When she isn’t at the firm or the arena, she is likely attending local Chamber meetings, advocating for youth mentorship, or enjoying life as a dedicated dog mom.
