What a week for Allegiant Law! We were proud to sponsor both the Multnomah Bar Association Annual Meeting and IRCO's 50th Celebration Gala — two lovely evenings spent in great company.

A standout moment was seeing our new Law Clerk, Ardeshir Tabrizian, up on the big screen with his fellow MBA Fellows members.

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and it’s a time that feels deeply personal to us at Allegiant Law.

"I think of my sister-in-law Giang, who was just sworn in as a U.S. citizen last month — and of my mom, who made that same journey 30 years ago after immigrating from Japan. Two women. Two ceremonies. One enduring reminder of why the promise of this country matters.

We’re proud to celebrate the AAPI community and the countless stories of courage, resilience, and belonging that shape who we are — as a nation, and as a firm."

— Bonnie Richardson, Co-Managing Partner

As we celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, we’re reflecting on the personal stories that shape our work at Allegiant Law.

Our co-founder, Bonnie Richardson, grew up in a mixed-race Japanese American family, where she developed a strong connection to her cultural identity. As a minority in a predominantly white community, she built resilience in the face of adversity and a deep commitment to justice—values she carries into her work today.

Alongside co-managing partner, Jovita Wang, together they are part of a small but growing number of Asian American leaders in law firm ownership.

Swipe for early childhood photos of Bonnie and her family in Stillwater, Oklahoma and Yokohama, Japan.

We look forward to sharing more stories throughout the month in celebration of AAPI heritage.

NIL was built on the promise that student-athletes finally get paid. Ironic, then, that Blueprint Sports and Entertainment decided their payment obligations were optional. Filed today in federal court. We disagree.

Our complaint details how, after acquiring Dam Nation, Blueprint failed to uphold its contractual six-figure payment obligations to our client and founder of Dam Nation, Kyle Bjornstad.

Allegiant Law attorney Bonnie Richardson, counsel for Kyle Bjornstad in a matter involving OSU, shared the following statement:

"Meanwhile, while OSU pays off people like Barnes, the other OSU guy – our client Kyle, the true devoted champion for OSU athletics with actual integrity – no longer has a job (and is not receiving any money from OSU when he left due to the bad conduct of the officials at OSU) AND got stiffed by Blueprint on the money they promised to pay him."

A good reminder of how things 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 work.

Recently, we assisted a friend of our firm with her long-term disability claim, which had been pending for months. During that time, she has been navigating significant medical care while going without income.

We sent a succinct letter asking that the claim be addressed immediately.

Within days, we received a response from the insurance company stating they were “instantly moved” by the situation and confirming that they would move forward with payment right away—even while continuing to gather additional documentation.

We’re sharing a redacted portion of that response as an example of what responsive, compassionate claims handling should look like.

These benefits exist for a reason. When someone is seriously ill, timely support matters.

We appreciate when insurance carriers take a step back, review the full picture, and do the right thing.

And it’s also a reminder: sometimes it takes clear advocacy to move things forward.
