I recently obtained counsel from David Haskett at this firm. I have to say, I would recommend him highly. He helped me thru a difficult experience and did a fantastic job for me and with wonderful results. He was compassionate, but honest with his advice and listened to me and my needs. I really appreciated that. If you need a great attorney, please call David Haskett.

I had a very serious issue with the courts and I needed someone who could get in front of a judge immediately and have an order ammendee as I didn’t have a case number yet it was very hard to get information and u also had very little resources. Kelly was compassionate kind and thorough and did what he could for me to get the matter resolved in my favor expeditiously. He listens very well and it is clear that he really cares about his clients. Once I talked with him I felt much more calm and assured and when we went to court things went as well as I believe they possibly could have. I also have severe ADHD and was very stressed when I was speaking with him and he was very kind and understanding with like my quirks and interruptions while being able to keep my on point and related the information I needed effectively to me in that state. I cannot recommend Kelly Monaghan enough. He is obviously extremely sharp about the law and will fight hard for his clients but he also is just a very good human overall! Thanks Kelly!

I was dreading doing my trust and estate planning, but I met with Paul and was immediately put at ease. Paul was highly recommended on NextDoor by several people and I am so glad I met with him. Paul is professional, made the entire process easy for me and he quickly turned around my project. All of the information was presented to me in an extremely organized way that I understood, all of my questions were answered and the notary was already set up when I got to our meeting. Kelly and Michelle, who work for Paul, are extremely friendly. I highly recommend Paul. If I could give 10 stars I would!

Paul and his team were wonderful in helping us update our Living Trust since moving from out of state. Paul is very thorough, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He took time to explain all of our options and patiently answered all of our questions while setting up our trust. The entire process from our first meeting to signing our final documents was seamless and efficient. Highly recommend Paul and his team for estate planning!

I admire your composure, work ethic, legal knowledge, attention to detail, realistic communication outcomes, and research skills, most of all excellent representation. The last few years have been a puzzle and putting the pieces together for the best interest of the child, was accomplished through Jeff's hard work and ability to commit to my case. I appreciate him and Cynthia who not only have been prompt and professional, but supportive throughout this rollercoaster process. Strongly recommend.

After trying to flee from someone threatening to kill me and my loved ones in my truck at what was supposed to be a family birthday party, I was wrongfully arrested for a DUII. I spoke with several firms and then I found Casey Baxter with Baxter Law online and saw the reviews so I decided to give them a call for a consultation. Immediately I could tell his attitude towards my case was what I was looking for. All of the other firms I talked to suggested diversion because it was “less risky”. I didn’t want that on my record if I was able to defend it. Well when I talked to Casey he didn’t constantly tell me how great he was like the other firms. He gave me his (very qualified)credentials and actually gave me the process of how he would go about this case and I could tell he wasn’t afraid to defend my case. Choosing him to be my lawyer was the best decision I could’ve made. He spoke with the DA on my case and was able to get the whole thing dismissed before my court date. This firm knows the law and isn’t afraid to fight for you. If you go with them you can feel taken care of. I will 100% recommend Casey and Baxter Law.

100 percent. That's how much every person in the building gave. They made me feel like I was the only client. From the receptionist, to Casey himself, I felt that they truly cared and could tell that I was not just a client but that I actually mattered. The saying goes that you get for what you pay for, and not only did I get the best legal representation, I got so much more; people who actually care. Not only would I recommend them to anyone i cared about, if I ever need future assistance in a matter I know I can count on Casey and the entire Baxter law team to help.

I have known Casey for nearly ten years. He is a fantastic lawyer and has helped my family out on various occasions over the years. He is professional and ensures that his firm keeps our legal dealings confidential. He is always available, even in the early morning and evening. You never know what will come up, and you may need a lawyer to talk to; Casey’s firm will help you no matter the time of day. I highly recommend Baxter Law; he has lots of experience, and if he doesn’t have expertise in a specific area, he will point you to a lawyer who can help.

To say that Lisa is amazing would be an understatement. From the very beginning, she made me feel confident that I was in capable hands. She listened carefully, understood that my children were my top priority, and acted accordingly. Lisa always had a clear plan—and a well-thought-out backup—ensuring every decision was backed by facts and sound reasoning.
She gave me the confidence to make informed and wise decisions, something I had been lacking for years. Her ability to restore that confidence was invaluable.
Lisa was consistently prepared, keeping me informed every step of the way. Over the three years we worked together, we developed a strong partnership. We functioned like a well-oiled team, reminding each other of crucial details and moving forward in sync.
She was also incredibly patient with my many questions, lack of knowledge about legal terms, and even my growing understanding of technology. Lisa never made me feel overwhelmed. She broke down complex tasks, like gathering information and evidence, into manageable pieces, always offering encouragement along the way.
When things didn’t go as expected, Lisa’s ability to pivot and adapt was remarkable. She tackled challenges head-on and always found a new direction. In court, she carried herself with the utmost dignity, and I felt assured that I had the best person fighting for me. She organized evidence meticulously, presenting it in a clear, powerful way.
Despite the long and high-conflict nature of my case, Lisa remained professional, calm, and composed. I never had to worry or second-guess—her dedication and expertise were unwavering, and I trusted her completely.

Lisa was very informative and knowledgeable in her field and fought for what was right and gave great advice on how to proceed with dealing with a difficult custody battle that resulted in winning me full custody and now my child is thriving in life and his schooling. It was painless and efficient process. Lisa was recommended to us by a very experienced colleague in the area of expertise and she made sure everything went smoothly and listened to our concerns. If you want things done right hire Lisa Ward as your attorney.

For the past year, I have had the pleasure of working with High Desert Law following a motorcycle accident I experienced last summer. Their dedication and expertise have been truly remarkable. From the beginning, they maintained consistent communication, thoroughly explaining every step of the process, and ensuring I received the settlement I deserved during such a frightening and challenging time in my life. I cannot recommend this team more highly! They made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire journey, always keeping me informed and reassured.

I didn't want to ever hire a personal injury attorney, but I had the good fortune to be referred to David Rosen and his team at High Desert Law after a most unfortunate vehicle accident. The High Desert Law team were clearly experienced, hard working on my behalf and were able to best prepare me for depositions that led to a settlement beyond my expectation. You won't find a more expert, dedicated and communicative team than High Desert Law.

We are so thankful that we had the wonderful people at High Desert Law by our side when we had to deal with a parent’s worst nightmare. Our daughter was involved in a horrible car accident that almost took her life and required multiple surgeries and hospital visits. A dear friend of ours encouraged us to contact Dave and his team right away and we are so glad that we did. We were able to focus on our daughter and her healing while Dave and his team lead us through all of the legal and insurance headaches that come with such an event. Dave and his staff were there whenever we needed them and always made sure that we understood exactly what was happening. It wasn’t just “business” with the team of High Desert Law, it was a friendship that we will appreciate for a long time.

I had a frivolous charge against me, by a coworker who was notorious for assaulting peers. On the verge of being fired from his job for frequent assaults, and in an effort to save his job, the coworker filed 'unwanted touching' charge against me, as I pushed him away during an assault.
The Richland police were unhelpful, unwilling to accept facts, or even call our boss or other coworkers who would confirm the situation.
The prosecutor was unwilling to investigate.
Christine was very helpful. I appreciate her legal knowledge, skill in the courtroom, and her excellent communication ability.
This charge has now been dropped, due to Ms Bennett's efforts. Many thanks!

I have a great deal of respect for Ms. Bennett and how intuitive it was to work with her. Working with Ms. Bennett made my first experience with the law pleasant. Ms. Bennett showed the confidence and persistence it takes to be the best attorney. I felt at ease explaining the most difficult day for myself because I knew she was going to try her best to hear me and help me. When the court suggested fines and jail time, Ms. Bennett suggested alcohol treatment and therapy. 4 counts against me turned into a case dismissed, 8 months sober, and a whole new perspective on myself and my own career.

Paul Heatherman was terrific to work with. He thought of everything. Way more comprehensive than we were expecting. We can rest easy with our new trust and all the what ifs covered. So professional but also down to earth. I highly recommend Paul Heatherman for any estate planning, advanced directive, will needs. He knows his stuff. As a landlord I'm glad to know that's an area of expertise as well. Hope we never need him in that capacity, but it's good to know he's there.

I had the honor of having Two Spruce Law helping with a an estate I had inherited and no idea the complications that were involved. Thank God for Patricia and Hannah!! They took care of everything. The filing, letters, always kept me informed and copies of everything they did. They even took the headache I would of got if I had even tried to do this on my own. Just want to thank you wonderful ladies and especially Hannah for making this all go so smoothly. If I ever (which I hope not) you ladies will always be my first choice. Thank you again for everything.

I found Patricia Nelson through internet research when I was looking for legal assistance to protect my vulnerable mother. I'm so glad I found Patricia Nelson and Two Spruce Law! My mother's health was in serious decline, but she had been hiding it from everyone. After thoroughly and comprehensively interviewing my mother, Patricia Nelson created a power of attorney that best suited our needs. It turned out to be the best thing for my mother's future. The power of attorney contained the exact language required for me to be able to help my mother. It stood up to challenges from financial institutions, pension administrators, medical providers, and even members of our own family. My mother is now safe, her health has improved, and her finances are protected. Patricia Nelson's demeanor is professional, yet she is warm and compassionate toward her clients. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience and a better outcome for my mother. If I could rate her higher than five stars, I would!

I want to thank Brian for his help. But it was more than just help.
I was arrested for the first time in my life. I was scared and felt all alone... like my back was against the wall with no idea what to do. Then I met Brian and his ability to calm me down and walk me through every step of the process was a life saver.
Brian's knowledge of the court system and his professionalism throughout the process was amazing. He would articulate to me , every step of the way, exactly what to expect and what I needed to do or prepare for. There is no one I would rather have on my side fighting for me than Brian Allen.
I actually ended up with three cases against me in the end and they were all resolved successfully.

When you find yourself needing an attorney, it’s likely that things are not exactly going smoothly in life at the moment. The last thing you need or want to do is be searching and researching attorneys. Brian was referred to me and after our initial consult, I knew he was the perfect fit for my situation. Throughout the case, he was in constant communication, explaining every option at every turn. He will represent your goals fiercely and relentlessly while treating you and your family with compassion and empathy.
He is everything you need in an attorney. Save yourself the time and distress and hire Brian Allen now.

Wayne represented me in a case involving me tripping and falling on a raised panel on a sidewalk and breaking my jaw in 3 places. Wayne was most professional dealing with the insurance companies and the people involved in this case. He got me a satisfied settlement. You couldn't ask for a nicer guy or a more professional attorney. Wayne knows his stuff. I would recommend his services to anyone who needs a good attorney. He even reduced his own wages so I could walk away with more money. What Attorney does that? Thank You so much Wayne.

Wayne and his staff helped me come to a settlement agreement with an Insurance company that I had been working with on my own.

I would not hesitate to use Wayne again or refer him to any of my friends or family.

Wayne Hawn was a fantastic attorney. I first met with Wayne in Portland, OR. He traveled up here from Bend, OR to meet me and discuss what happened. He was very caring and confident in my case, thus I hired him a few days later and began the process. As this was my first time being involved with a lawyer, my understanding of the process was minimal. Wayne knew how to properly convey and illustrate each step along the way. He was a true teammate throughout the entire year of our case. He laid out what he believed was to occur and 95% of the time, it happened. I would recommend Wayne for any and all cases. If you're searching for a lawyer, give him a call and meet up with him. I am sure at that point you'll realize how experienced he is.
Thanks again Wayne,

Attorney Christopher Kuhlman is an excellent, personable, knowledgeable, caring and extremely trustworthy lawyer who always showed that he had my best interests in mind and I will remain forever grateful to him for his service and dedication in the handling my legal case for nearly 10 years.
Attorney Kuhlman has a strong eye for detail and organization and an amazing ability to process large volumes of information extremely quickly. He combined these abilities with his exceptional legal-writing, superior research and excellent analytical skills in order to compose the winning briefs, motions and arguments that he used for my case.
His calm demeanor and exemplary gift in public speaking was clearly seen in his representation of me before various courts and judges (including the Minnesota Supreme Court and the Minnesota Appellate Courts) with utter professionalism and expertise, which also helped him to gain the upper-hand in court and in the winning of my case.
In addition, Attorney Kuhlman’s dedication to justice is so strong that, he was even willing to provide his representation in such a way as to support a client who could not have, otherwise, even been able to afford legal counsel. In fact, during the (nearly 10) years that Attorney Kuhlman represented me as a client, not only did he not receive a penny of payment until after my case had been won by him, but, on many occasions, he even also went so far as to cover the costs of court fees on my behalf.
On top of protecting and securing my rights, by way of filing and winning my lawsuit, Attorney Kuhlman also defended both me and my personal and professional reputation from the baseless and false accusations that the opposing counsel chose to fabricate about me as a main part of their defense. In fact, Attorney Kuhlman was my beacon of hope during periods when my legal options appeared to have been limited to none -- and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible.
Also, he was so dedicated to my case and to bringing me the justice that we both felt that I deserved that, he repeatedly took my case as high as the Minnesota Supreme Court in order to win justice for me. And, thanks to Attorney Kuhlman’s legal brilliance, expertise and fight for justice on my behalf, Minnesota Law has been changed, and this law could positively affect other regions of the nation as well.
His sincere empathy, and dedication to justice on my behalf, provided emotional support to me during a period of the most difficult time of my adult life and I would highly recommend him to anyone without reservation.

I would recommend Mr. Kuhlman in a heartbeat.

Attorney Kendra Jimenez Baughman has been such a blessing to our lives. She has dedicated countless hours in helping my wife and I with our case, which at the time, looked nearly impossible to win.

Kendra's perseverance in our case enabled my family to stay together and for that I am forever grateful to her.

Mario F. Riquelme recently represented me in a personal injury claim involving an auto accident that altered my life and career path. From the very beginning, he took the time to listen to my story in a kind and compassionate way. After handing the claim over to Mr. Riquelme, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. He and his staff kept me updated on the process and returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. Whenever I had any concerns, he was able to walk me through the process in a clear and concise way. I trust him explicitly as he has proven himself to be extremely professional, ethical, competent and will fight for the best possible outcome. He was able to negotiate a settlement that will allow me to get back on track and for that I will always be grateful. Thank you Mario and staff, you truly are the best!

Mario Riquelme represented me in a unique personal injury claim. I had to fight my own insurance company to cover medical expenses and loss. I never knew what a nightmare this could become. At a time when I had lost faith and was untrusting, Mario was upfront and straightforward with the process, and informative on what outcome I could expect in the case. Step by step he helped me to prepare for my case to be presented. His expertise and knowledge in the field made this an easy process. He took on the worry for me so I could move forward with my life. He fought for a fair settlement on my behalf and did not waiver on what he felt I deserved as the injured party. In my opinion he is the best personal injury attorney available in the Bend, Oregon area and would recommend him to everyone and anyone I know who needs help with a personal injury claim! Thank you Mario and staff!

I also greatly appreciated his consultative style which made me feel well-equipped to navigate circumstances and make decisions that will impact me and my four sons for life. He didn't just guide me through paperwork, but also consulted me on how to have diplomatic and positive conversations with my ex-wife that led to win-win outcomes in our parenting plan and an amicable relationship throughout and after the process.
For anyone needing legal support with family law, I would recommend Brady in a heartbeat.
