Hanley, who went to France with the American Expeditionary Force, is now devoting his attention to the practice of law and ranks with Portland’s talented attorneys. He was born September 17, 1895, and is a native of Hurley, Wisconsin. His father, John Hanley, is deceased and the mother, Margaret Hanley, now resides in Butte, Montana. Leo J. Hanley received his higher education in Creighton University of Nebraska, from which he won the degree of LL.B. in 1917, and in the same year responded to the call to arms, joining a company of infantry. For nineteen months he was stationed abroad, receiving the commission of second lieutenant, and in 1919 was honorably discharged. At Butte, Montana, he was one of the legal advisers of Senator W. A. Clark, now deceased, acting in that capacity for about two years, and in 1921 came to Portland. He has since been associated with Prescott W. Cookingham and their attention is given chiefly to corporation matters and the handling of estates. The firm occupies a suite of offices on the second floor of the Spalding building and its clientele is rapidly increasing in volume as well as in importance. Mr. Hanley was married July 18, 1925, to Miss Fabian Rosche, of Salem, Oregon, and they now have a daughter, Patricia Lee, who was born February 23, 1927. Mr. Hanley gives his political allegiance to the republican party and adheres to the Roman Catholic faith. Along fraternal lines he is connected with the Knights of Columbus and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. He is one of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and also belongs to the American Legion, The Multnomah Athletic Club, and the Multnomah County and Oregon State Bar Associations. Mr. Hanley is a young man of pleasing personality and possesses those qualities which are essential to success in the legal profession Additional Comments: History of the Columbia River Valley From The Dalles to the Sea, Volume II, Chicago, The S.
