Liebler & St. Hilaire, P.S. is the oldest law firm in Kennewick, continuously operating since 1909. Attorneys Mark M. Moulton and Scott Z. Henderson opened a law firm in downtown Kennewick on November 1, 1909. Mark Moulton continued to practice law with the firm until his retirement in 1957. At that time, the firm name continued on with the remaining partners, Powell & Loney until 1959, when Charles L. Powell was appointed to the bench for the US District Court. Dean Loney continued with the firm until 1978.
