I'm incredibly grateful for the exceptional support provided by the legal team after my car accident in July 2021. Their expertise and dedication were truly remarkable. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, they navigated every aspect of the case with professionalism and precision. Their guidance not only provided me with peace of mind but also instilled confidence in the process. It was evident that they genuinely cared about my well-being and were committed to securing the best possible outcome for me. I cannot recommend their services highly enough to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you for everything!

I was referred to Thuemmel Uhle & Eder by another law firm. The lawyers at TU&E are experienced. The lawyers handle the legal work, not paralegals. They answer emails. They take phone calls. They meet to go over the pros and cons of my case, including the medical options. Nothing was rushed. They strategically fought the negligent driver's insurance company and then systematically grinded away at my underinsured motorist carrier.

I’ve spoken with so many lawyers, and got so misguided. Mr James and his wisdom in his history put my extremely complicated situation into perspective. To continue to fight the legal battle is choosing to suffer, and a minimum of $25,000 to gamble and lose again, and again. He helped me understand the system better than anyone. What a great guy and I got it all for free!

I was charged with several Measure 11 adult charges while I was a minor. I researched the best attorneys in Portland, and Ryan was on top of that list. He had a great reputation and extensive experience. After talking to several attorneys, I decided to hire Ryan. He is honest, kind and brilliant. He was able to reverse my adult charges and sent my case back to the juvenile court. This was a very hard case, but he was able to use his extensive knowledge of the law to win my case. He gave me my life back!! I would highly recommend Ryan to my friends and Family.

When my nephew was arrested and charged with a criminal offense and thrown in jail, our family was in shock. He was there as a tourist on his own, while I am in NYC the rest of the family overseas, and he made a mistake based on cultural differences and without bad intentions. We were scared and lost as to what to do and had to find a great lawyer. A friend of a friend gave us 3 names, and we called all 3, but ONLY ONE called back promptly on the Sunday - and that was Michael Levine (the remaining calls trickled in during the week). We were so lucky because over the next month he proved to be not only a competent lawyer but also responsive, communicative, friendly, and to my nephew he provided real emotional support to guide him and calm him throughout the month. The case was successfully dismissed and that was based on his legal work and filings, but I heard stories from my nephew about how in the courthouse Michael was friendly and polite to everyone, and he sensed that the people who worked there knew and liked Michael and were kind and cooperative in return. Michael was also very fair with the price, and in fact his initial quote was very modest so soon after we started we offered to pay him a higher fee just because we could see he was doing more work than anyone anticipated. And so all in all I'd say BIG THANKS to Michael and we would warmly recommended.

Tabitha Brincat and her entire team did a phenomenal job for my stressful divorce/custody case. We worked together for 10 months and throughout the entire time I had nothing but the absolute best care! She is focused, friendly, incredibly competent, and knew every detail of my complicated case the whole time. She is a great listener and really made me feel like we were a team in making decisions when that was appropriate. When we had to go to the court room she was calm and explained everything so well to me. It was a horrible and scary time for me and every single time I contacted her office someone was there to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and guide me with their knowledge. When we were in private mediation she stayed so calm and always knew what to say. I was very impressed how she remembered every detail of my complicated case even though she has other clients. I felt seen and heard throughout the whole process. Her entire team worked so well together and whoever I was working with was knowledgable, competent, kind, and patient. I would absolutely recommend Tabitha Brincat (and her team) to anyone that I know, especially if you are dealing with an aggressive ex husband. Also, her writing of documents and emails to opposing counsel was top notch. Beyond impressed and forever grateful that she was able to work so hard for my case and help me get a fair divorce in place.

Sarah was excellent through every phase of my separation and divorce. When I encountered a situation outside of her expertise, she guided me to a colleague who got a great outcome. Needless to say, I was not always the 'happiest camper' to be getting divorced. Sarah remained steady regardless of my demeanor, consistently and calmly focused on the next point of business. And as each 'hurtle' approached, time and again it was cleared satisfactorily. Just about every component of my divorce settled in an acceptable if not favorable fashion. Communication was always good. Billing seemed fair. There is much to be grateful for having chosen Sarah for my divorce and how it all went.

I came to Sarah after a horrible experience with my previous divorce attorney. She picked up the pieces and guided my through the most stressful and emotional year of my life. She helped protect my children and I from some pretty scary situations and I cannot thank her enough for that. She's honest, fair and supportive while also being fierce and fearless. She's kind and tough and can take on bullies in the best of ways. She's strategic and brilliant and helped me navigate so many tough situations.

There was no part of me that ever wanted to meet Jody or Anna. None! As a 20 year marriage was ending I started asking around for names of attorneys. I didn't have a clue where to start. But, there was one firm that came up several times from people I trusted - Stahancyk, Kent and Hook. I consulted with several firms before SKH and saved them for last. The old adage, save the best for last? Ask Jody or Anna their theory on how you capture a monkey. Hilarious and and so wise. It was at that story, I said... Yes, they are the total for me. They KNOW the law. But, more important that that - THEY UNDERSTAND PEOPLE! By the grace of God I didn't need near as much representation as I thought I would. It was peaceful. From the very beginning Anna Friedhoff spoke candidly and truthfully with me. There were several times she needed to remind that I hired her because she is the professional. I am a strong woman and wanted to run the show. Oopsy! She gently but firmly guided me through it. When it became apparent the divorce was going to be amicable she saved me tens of thousand of dollars in fees. I bullet pointed out what I need/wanted. She drafted, we went back and forth with a few revisions. I even received a refund on my retainer fee!!! I hesitate to mention the swiftness of my divorce as I am fully aware it is not a normal pace. I met Anna Friedhoff on a Wednesday, she had the petition filed by that Friday, September 10th and Clackamas county judge signed our divorce decree October 19th. Yes, I was divorced in 6 weeks. You are in good and caring hands with this firm.

I’m giving Anna Friedhoff 5 stars as a divorce attorney, only because I can’t give 6 stars. Anna is the best attorney in Oregon, and if you’re in the unfortunate position of divorce, she needs to be your first and only call. Anna is an absolute MONSTER of an attorney. She is brilliant, passionate, aggressive, and an all around badass. If anything else, simply hire her to ensure she’s never looking at you from the other side of the courtroom. I promise you, the last name you want to see on the opposing counsel team is Anna Friedhoff. While we dealt with Covid, and unexpected delays, Anna never took her eyes off the prize. She fought for me and she won every single motion we entered into. Hiring Anna Friedhoff as my divorce attorney was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. If you are reading this review PLEASE do yourself a favor, stop immediately, pick up the phone and call her. Anna Friedhoff = WIN

I could tell that they understood the law, the complexities and were ready to get to work on my family's behalf.

I was a victim in a life-altering car accident and I am so glad that I found a lawyer who was able to navigate all of the mess with insurance and mediation, while I could focus on my own pain and recovery. Joel is incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Even when the news was not great, he patiently listened through my tears and gave me guidance moving forward. His knowledge of this process shows and he was able to battle for me and what I needed. He went above and beyond in my opinion, and was able to provide me with a settlement that was better than we originally had hoped for, and I know that is because of his negotiation skills. My case was further strengthened because of the background efforts of his partners, David and Ben. I have, and will continue to recommend Joel and his team at Thuemmel Uhle and Eder to anyone who needs legal help in navigating personal injury.

I was rear ended in a motor vehicle accident in December of 2021 and suffered a neck injury. I tried months of physical therapy and eventually connected with Joel Sturm and TUE. I can not even begin to describe the level of effort and concern they put into my case. Joel was present at doctors appointments, he constantly checked on me. The thing he said over and over was "Let's get it fixed, we can worry about other stuff later." The decision to eventually undergo surgery was left to me, and what I thought was best with the advice of the doctors. There was no talk of money and no pressure to settle the claim quickly. It eventually concluded in November of 2023. When it came time to take care of things Joel did an AMAZING job. I just stayed out of his way and let him use his expertise. When he called me to tell me what the settlement was, I didn't believe him. I thought he was pulling my leg. I made him repeat it three times. The job that Joel and TUE did was incredible. I wish the accident had not happened because of the pain and suffering that it caused. Even with physical rehab and surgery I am going to have some soreness and stiffness in my neck for the rest of my life, but because of the accident I met Joel and I am so grateful to him because he worked so hard to represent me and my interests. It was a blessing that I got connected with Joel and TUE.

Throughout the process of setting up a trust, will, POA and Advanced Directive he was the consummate professional. Stefan is responsive, smart, extremely knowledgeable, kind, and thorough.

My planner said he works with his clients estate attorneys all the time and had never worked with someone of Stefan's caliber. High praise from my curmudgeon of a financial planner!

Even from my brief dealing with him, it is clear to me he is a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who takes excellent care of his clients. Most attorneys wouldn't even speak to me because my claim was not large enough to warrant their attention. Jason not only listened patiently and without interrupting, he took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. Though he was clearly very busy, he never once made me feel marginalized or rushed. He even gave me feedback on the injury demand letter I'd written! I would recommend him without hesitation.

This allowed me to focus on the healing I needed and not having to worry if I was being well represented. Jason has all the great qualities that I could have hoped for; he is a super caring and compassionate person with great integrity and as a legal representative did an outstanding job, thoroughly handling all phases of the claims process, navigating between the multiple insurers and policies resulting in a settlement that I could not have gotten on my own.

He was willing to make any necessary accommodations to help ease my husbands discomfort and he would also check in to see how my husband was doing. Throughout the process of the lawsuit Jason was always professional and polite and kept us informed of what was going on with the case. He was always quick to respond to any phone calls or e-mails that either my husband or I sent him. Overall he did a wonderful job and eased a lot of the stress of the lawsuit. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney in this area of law.

Before we met Richard, we had nothing in order -- a very very outdated will (somewhere) that didn't reflect a single aspect of our current life, kids, home, investment property, business etc. After meeting Richard, we have peace of mind! We have a living trust, will, designated guardian for our daughter, person to make medical decisions if we can't, signed docs giving us power to make medical decisions for each other, on and on. We have an enormous binder with all these documents including extremely detailed and helpful information for our next of kin and executor, should something happen to us. Richard and his team make this very straight forward and easy. They kept stressing that we can call any time with questions (no charge) and in 3 years we'll sit for a review of it all (free). This was painless.

I contracted with Leonard Duboff over a complex intellectual property dispute that had a lot of moving parts, and without his help I don't think I would have been able to negotiate a positive settlement. He really came through for me, going above and beyond to make sure that my interests were represented. He proved willing to work with me on cost, he demonstrated time and time again he knows contract and IP law, and I recommend him without hesitation.

The only thing worse than a custody battle is a custody battle throughout Covid. The courts were a nightmare and the process was so broken. With all of that said, Jonathan Corey guided me through it with poise, grace, patience, and professionalism. Without his guidance I cannot imagine how I would have gotten through it all. It was clear from the start that I could trust Jonathan throughout the process. Whenever anything seemed dire, he was able to calm my nerves by knowing the best play to lead with or react with. He did that all while being a human and showing empathy and understanding. I cannot thank him enough or recommend him more highly.

My situation was more complicated than usual, and I needed a well-experienced attorney who I could trust to leave my case in his hand. Mr.Corey was the 3rd attorney I spoke to, and I chose him to represent me right after an initial consultation with him. He was not only a smart, well-experienced but also a very nice and caring person. He genuinely cared about my situation and always supported me to help me get back on my feet. When I had to make a tough decision, he always gave me great advice and ensured that it would benefit me now and in the far future. Having someone who could look after you and remind you to hold your ground in emotional situations like this was essential during the case and I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me and my son. I’m so happy I found him and worked with him. I strongly recommend him to anyone going through a tough time in life and wants to ensure that you are in good hands. Mr.Corey is ‘the one.’

He was professional, knowledgeable, and was great with his communication with me. He always advocated for me and always listened to what I had to say. I am very thankful for all the hard work he poured into my case. Definitely would recommend him to others!

I am careful with money, and lawyers are expensive. I brought Mr. Perriquey a seemingly complex set of documents for review. Lake took the time to make me understand his informed opinion. Mr. Perriguey took the time to understand my uninformed concerns. While Lake's efforts are painstaking, he is also efficient. In summary, Mr. Perriguey provides value far in excess of his fees.

My husband and I found ourselves having to sue a family member over real estate. It was just awful for us. We had never needed an attorney before, so we didn't even know where to start! With a cold call I found Lake. Wow did we get lucky! Lake provided us with guidance and integrity throughout the process which was quite complicated. He explained the lawsuit process clearly to ensure that we understood how it all works. He filed all the documents through the court and corresponded with the opposing attorney in a timely manner. He also made himself available to me when I was feeling especially low, making me feel better. We were able to work out a deal that worked for both us and our relative. We are so grateful to Lake for getting us through this!

David achieved an incredible financial recovery for me, after a year of my landlord failing to adhere to the terms of our lease. He did so without me having to file a lawsuit. The result happened after a single interaction with landlord’s counsel, who had bullied me throughout when I tried to resolve the issues myself.

Adam worked for the dismissal of my case for over a year and was extremely responsive every step of the way. My case was an embarrassing one for me and Adam was very professional and non judgmental. He understands that bad things happen to good people and he will fight for you even when the circumstances are unusual. Adam's paralegal Dawn was an amazing help to me, she was highly sympathetic to my position and was able to catch a miscommunication that could have potentially prevented me from completing the requirements necessary for the dismissal. I'm happy to say they were successful in getting my case dismissed. I am thoroughly satisfied with the work these great people did for me and I will turn to them first in the future and highly recommend them to anyone needing legal representation.

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.

      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.

      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:

    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
