She is smart and fights for what is right. She won my case in about 10 minutes. She walked into the courtroom spoke the truth and everyone shut up and the judge dismissed the case and walked out. It was amazing! Talk about answered prayer. She was my angel,

I contacted the office as I was at the beginning of my divorce and needed guidance and representation. I chose the law firm based on previous positive reviews. Christopher Fanning was knowledgeable, engaged and supportive. I put my full trust in my attorney throughout the difficult and emotional divorce process. Christopher always kept me informed and grounded. Kiara and Trina were also very professional and supportive during my experience with the law firm. I am very pleased with the end result.

Chris Fanning took on my case that lasted about three and a half years and all I have to say is that he was absolutely amazing. He really cared and put in countless hours researching anything that could help us. He is the nicest guy in the world on top of being intelligent, determined, and insightful. I would give 6 stars if I could. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Genuinely very nice people, Brad Sands and Matthew Kehoe helped me for over a year in fighting my case, truly nice guys and extremely knowledgeable. I honestly can't sing their praises enough, from breaking down all the legal jargon to explaining what the next step in the process would be and managing all the stress on my behalf. I can never thank these guys enough.

I was in need of a real estate attorney and was referred by a friend.
I had an offer accepted on a home and all was well, then we found out from the title company that the home had a Covenant, Condition, and Restriction with the deed. I have purchased homes in the past and the rules in the covenant sounded similar to an HOA which made me nervous. I was able to reach out to Soran Law, get some time scheduled, share the CC&R ahead of time, and had an attorney review it, then met and reviewed the covenant and informed me of what power it had/didn’t have.
One of the best interactions I’ve had with an attorney. I will always use this firm for any Oregon real estate legal advice and recommend them to anyone. Thank you for all the help!!!!

Be careful! They gather all of my personal and sensitive information and said they will take my case then after all the work and calls and time I spend talking to them, Maria the paralegal email me saying they wont represent me!
They made me waste tons of time and effort and on top sharing me and my daughter's info its not safe and ok. Do not recommend their services please be aware of the lack of commitment and very irresponsable way, if they act this way before they start cant imagine how its going to be during the process!

Me permito recomendar ampliamente al abogado Neo Arellano y a su equipo. La atención recibida fue excepcional; demostraron una notable empatía y profesionalismo en el manejo de mi accidente automovilístico, siempre priorizando mi bienestar.
A diferencia de experiencias previas con otras firmas legales, donde la comunicación era escasa y los paralegales eran los principales puntos de contacto, el abogado Neo Arellano se involucró directamente en mi caso. Su dedicación y compromiso resultaron en una resolución rápida y satisfactoria, superando las expectativas previas que tenía sobre el proceso legal.

David Shamloo is the top class attorney in the area! Having Mr. Shamloo work on my case has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Due to my third and fourth counts of attempted assault in the first degree. I was torn from my family and deported. Thankfully, with Mr. Shamloo’s counsel, things began to slowly turn in our favor. As time passed and paperwork processed. On 9/5/2024, we got the news that my name has been cleared on all accounts (which is usually unheard of in SB819 cases). I want to thank David for his swift and diligent work. Making the impossible possible. And for getting me one step closer to my Visa so that I can return to all my loved ones. Thank you, David Shamloo, for all your efforts and continued efforts to bring me back home.

My wife contacted Shamloo to seek help with her immigration status. In the beginning he was very helpful and provided insight on how he could help. He charged us $2000 to review her file. We paid and he did the review. He told her how he could help and we thought it was a good plan. He offered a payment plan to pay the substantial cost. We needed a bit of time to financially prepare and to get the money to cover the cost we told him we needed time he agreed and that was that. After we were ready financially to continue the next stage. He completely ghosted my wife.. she send email after email and no response this is completely unprofessional in my opinion. I guess he was satisfied after getting 2k from us.. We will be seeking assistance elsewhere.

I was involved in an incident which affects my future and reputation. It was a very stressful experience until I found Reza, he looked into my case and gave me his option and a possible outcome, which gives me confidence to keep going with this, not to mention he has good working relationships with the DA’s office. Most importantly, a plea is not the end of his work, he asks my expectations and keep fighting for me, because a felony can seriously impact your future, he respects my decision and we reached a good outcome. Thank you Reza, you are the best!

Reza's law firm was recommended to me via a family member who was aware of their reputation. Thankfully, everything that was said about them was true! Ultimately, it was Reza who showed up to court to help me. He fought fiercely for me, and made sure that I understood all the nuances of my case. This really helped me to weigh my options in a sound manner. Reza single handedly got my case dismissed. That's it. It will never appear on any record, nor will it affect my future employment. I couldn't be more grateful to have this man help me in my time of need. Heaven forbid you should ever need a criminal defense attorney. But, should you need one, look no further than Reza and his associates at KN Defense. Thank you Reza!

James was the exact type of lawyer I needed for my divorce. He was both extremely helpful and laid-back throughout my divorce process. He was able to put my anxieties at ease by his extensive knowledge regarding joint custody, child support and the divorce process in general. Very glad I hired this man!

James and his team are outstanding. They are thorough, prompt and precise in the way they do business. They handled my bankruptcy case and received a discharge in under 3 months. I would recommend them to anyone seeking help with any and all legal issues. If they don't specialize in your area of need, they have an extensive group of legal experts who do. Give them a call. You won't regret it.

Mr. Zwaanstra and his firm were fast acting, and ready to begin working on my case immediatly after our counsultation.
Mr Zwaanstra explained everything to me clearly. He made me aware the situation i was dealing with for 7 years on my own, I did not have to fight anymore, and that it would come to an end.
I would recommened James Zwaanstra and his firm Hillsboro Law Group to anyone who is seriouse about taking theyre case to Experts.

Grant has done a great job handling my divorce over the now two years that it has been going. He is intelligent and direct. He also knows the Hillsboro legal community, which is a great plus.
I give Grant my highest recommendation.
The rest of this review is just general advice on divorce with some comments as they relate to Grant...the stuff I wish someone had told me.
1) Things will go bad in the divorce. I don't care what you are saying to yourself right now. They will go bad. I promise. Get a lawyer right now if you can afford it.
2) Remember that lawyers get paid by the hour. Don't waste time telling them how much of a jerk your spouse is. They know. Just treat it like a business contract that went bad. The more emotional you are the worse the mistakes you are going to make. All that stuff is better done in mediation.
3) Get self counseling. I know that you believe that your spouse is the one with the problem. You are likely correct. But there are still insights that you can gain. Do you know why you picked the person you did? Do you know what you don't want in the future? Do you know what's best in terms of parenting time and your behavior around your ex? Maybe you do, but this is another thing I can only promise will help you.
4) Don't argue with your lawyer. You are probably wrong and they are probably right. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't question things you don't understand and also "trust but verify". Still, you are not, whether you know it or not, in the best mental condition. Grant, as well as any good lawyer has a much better perspective on the case than you do. Help them.
5) If you have assets over, let's say 50K, buy yourself an accountant. Believe me. They are very cheap compared to the expense every time the lawyer on the other side is confused. Grant is pretty good at accounting. However, don't assume that lawyers know anything about finances. The accountant can also talk in terms that your lawyer understands and can clarify much better than you can. They can also testify, if need be, to explain things to the judge.
6) Your lawyer is on your side. If he says something you don't like, well maybe its something you need to hear. Talk with him and treat him as if you are a team working for a common cause.
7) Always be the "good guy". Treat everyone with respect, be honest with the other side including admitting when you make a mistake. The process understands that no one is perfect. If you show you are trying your best to be fair and civil you will really do much better.
8) Oh, one last thing: Don't worry about how much a lawyer charges per hour. Why not? Well frankly you will rack up thousands of dollars in legal costs except for the most trivial of divorce. So, let's say you have a great lawyer that charges $250/hour and the crappiest one who was at the bottom of his class charges you $150. Yes, that's a big difference, but you get what you pay for. Seriously, not all lawyers are good...some are down-right crappy. So don't pick one only based on price.
9) Whoops, one final thing: Pay your lawyer NO MATTER WHAT. Money will be tight, but the last thing you want is for your lawyer to be worried if he is going to get paid or not. Imagine wondering if you will get paid at your job every week...a real demotivator! Work out what you need to do..talk to them if you can't pay, but always pay.
Good luck. It is a long road, but it does get better and there is an end.

I have had 3 different needs for an attorney, and Grant was able to help me with all three. I was able to meet with him in the Beaverton satellite office, which was much more convenient for me. I was also able to get an appointment in a timely manner. He is easy to talk to and non-judgmental. I would definitely use his services again should the need arise, and would recommend him to others.

I was referred to Ralph about an auto accident claim from another professional. Ralph took a number of weeks to respond to my initial contact and asked that I send him over all the information from my case. After receiving this he told me he'd get back to me by the end of the week.
4 weeks later he left me a VM saying he couldn't take my case. He asked that I call him back so we could talk about it a bit more and I tried calling and e-mailing to get a hold of him and he completely ghosted me and never responded again. I work in the professional services industry and this is a huge RED FLAG and terrible professionalism. I caution anyone looking for an attorney to avoid engaging his services and find a professional who will actually communicate like one.

My husband and I needed an updated will/trust/advance directive done and had no idea where to go so I trusted the many great google reviews and called Cornerstone Law and asked for Rick Carman.
Now that it is all done and put away I will say that it was the best call I could have made. The whole place is very professional and relatable at the same time. Very convenient to get to (no huge office complex with garage style parking), you just pull up and go inside.
Rick is such a great guy as well as knowledgeable attorney and the whole thing was way less complicated than I ever imagined, we were so relieved! On last note, these services were not a shock to the wallet either. Honestly anyone who needs this kind of help really should check out Cornerstone.
Thank You Rick!

Erin's firm handled the probate for my brother's estate. She took on a difficult estate with mountains of debt, one which I thought would be insolvent, and through skill and negotiation was able to secure a sizable inheritance for my brother's two children. The best possible outcome. Throughout the process she and her excellent team were in constant communication with me, informing me of every step, answering my many questions, and dealing with numerous other issues well beyond my grasp. She definitely made a stressful time much easier to handle.

Terrible communication, way more reactive than proactive. She took on my case 1 year ago, and the only responses I can get are...”nothing new yet.” On a good note, Jennifer is very personable, and extremely knowledgeable. Just because I feel she was not optimal for my specific needs, doesn’t mean she isn’t perfect for yours.

Jennifer handled my DUII case, attended the administrative hearing on my behalf, and was keen enough to find a technical error in the procedures that resulted in a judgement in favor of not suspending my drivers license. While handling the case, Jennifer demonstrated high professionalism, objectivity and knowledge in the subject matter, I highly recommend her.

TeAnna is a very detail oriented, focused and thorough practitioner. I felt heard and understood, evidenced by consistent and thoughtful questions and answers to my issues.

Ryan is literally the worst Attorney I have ever delt with. He lied to me multiple times. He threatened to resign if I did not agree to the horrible stripped down parenting plan that he negtotiated behind my back. Anytime throughout the case If i did not do exactly what he "advised" me to do, he threatened to resign. He did this the day before my trial, which I have since learned is extremely unethical on his part. I didn't know 24 hours before my trial that I could dismiss him and seek new and effective Counsel. Ryan rushed through my case in Court and did nothing to adress all the false and nasty claims by my Ex and her Attorney. Ryan absoutley guaranteed me that I would not have to pay child support. He did this in his office the morning of the trial with my 28 year old Son standing right next to me. When I reminded Ryan of this he said that I was remembering things wrong. He made multiple excuses for his terrible performance and even blamed the result on me. I offered to provide him with my full medical file from my surgeon outlining and detailing the horrific back injury I suffered and the surgeries had to help me walk again. Multiple times (including emails from Ryan) he assured me that the Notes written by my Chiropractor were more than sufficiant and I quote Ryan here "He is a Medical Dr. His word absolutely checks the box". The damage Ryan caused me is lifelong. I was the stay at home parent to 6 children why I supported my Wifes Military career. I am now almost 51 years old and because Ryan only cared about goin on his vacation the day after my Trial, I get 1,100 a month transitional Support for 2 years only. This on my Ex Wife's $9000 a month income. Ryan was completely ineffective during the trial. He had zero rebuttle for countless false allegations and nasty remarks directed at me. Stay away from this guy. He is a terrible Attorney who does not care about you. I should have fired him before the trial but I honestly didn't know I had that option. I could sit here for hours and detail all the underhanded and false things Ryan said and did througought my Divorce and Trial. I can't wait to see the nonsense he responds here with. My name is Jason Nicholson. I live in Cornelius OR, I am on social media. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about this fraud of an Attorney. I saved every single email and took detailed notes during the many phone calls wherein he threatened to resign if I didn't do exactly what he said.

He was always readily available through email. He was always looking out for my best interests. He would keep down the lawyer costs as best as he could. Divorces are not easy, and he was always there to support me in the realms of legal standings. Definitely a straight shooter and to the point lawyer which you need in a divorce trial. He has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to legal manners around divorces. Anyone going through divorce, I would like to say there's no winners or losers. Just have a strong lawyer on your side, RYAN Wilkinson
