The origins of Dano Law Firm, P.S. began in the mid 1940s when Harrison K. Dano, returning from WWII, partnered with FA Kern in Ellensburg, WA to begin Kern and Dano, a general practice firm. Over the years the firm grew, adding partners (and names) and became a highly respected Ellensburg law firm. In 1977, Harry led the firm expansion to Moses Lake. He had garnered a strong understanding of water and reclamation law and gained many clients in this area, including Paul Lauzier, as the Basin began opening up to greater farming opportunities. On the side, Harry tried his hand at farming, with his sons, Brian and Garth, farming with him when they were younger. Many changes occurred...the farming didn't work out and the Moses Lake branch of the Ellensburg law firm split from their Ellensburg associates. In 1984, Brian moved from Ellensburg to Moses Lake and joined in the established practice with his father and brother, Garth.
