Working with Eden Rose Brown and her talented staff has impressed us for years. We became official clients in the past couple years. Leading up to this time though, we gleaned information from this firm to prepare ourselves to develop our comprehensive Estate Plan/Living Trust. They have several workshops each year to assist current and potential clients to better understand the process, benefits, and resources needed to complete a plan. We can't say enough about the always friendly staff, and quick response times to our requests. Truly a special firm with genuinely courteous and well informed staff. So happy to have built this relationship with them. Highly recommend to all families that are needing guidance on their legacy planning.

I was issued a citation that I needed to dispute, but not having gone through the process before, I was unaware how to do so. Edgar provided great guidance and when the time came for my hearing, he was very clear with instructions and advice. He was willing to represent me remotely (small town!) and accurately forecast the expected actions of the police who had issued the citation.

Edgar Diaz, was my lawyer for my child custody case. Edgar is a lawyer who was referred to me through the modest means program. I had an initial phone consultation with Edgar where he was very thorough in going over what I was to expect moving forward with filling for child custody. After hiring Edgar he was quick and efficient to get things filled with the court. Edgar was a pleasure to work with and I would hire him again in the future if need be.

Paul Ferder is the best attorney. My wife while going through a mental health crisis got arrested. The police only wanted to lock her up. The public defender tried to get her to take a test used for felony sentencing. She had misnomer harassment and resisting arrest. They were going to railroad her right to jail. I fired the public defender and hired the best lawyer in the land. Paul lived up to his reputation. He swooped in and got my wife the best deal possible. No jail time, anger management class, minimal fine, and continued treatment with her doctor. During this nightmarish time for my wife and I Paul was that knight in shining armor that we needed. He is equally as good a man as he is a lawyer. He is a kind and understanding person who fought tooth and nail for my wife. We own him are gratitude and thanks. If you are in need of a lawyer don't take any chances hire Paul Ferder he is the absolute best!

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. John went above and beyond for every single step. He’s extremely kind and caring. He made sure I knew everything that was going on and explained anything I didn’t understand. He goes out of his way for his clients. Every time I met with John he always managed to calm my nerves. My situation could have, and I promise would have, been worse if I had not hired John. For anyone in need of a lawyer I wouldn’t recommend anyone else, John is absolutely the best. Thank you John.

I had a job at an establishment that had been underpaying me by classifying my position as salary (the lowest amount a salary employee can be paid to legally be considered a salary) so I was in a situation the more I worked the less I was paid. Not to mention the establishment was abusive to their employees and had other shady practices they engaged in that ultimately resulted In a continuation in the tradition of abuse in that particular work environment. I was unsure about wether I should week legal action for fear of not being able to work on that industry again, fear of the social ridicule I would most Iikely be opening myself up for. Brian helped put my mind at ease he took on the case with confidence and was supportive to my circumstance and situation. He was transparent with every aspect and every stage of the case. I was always in the loop and he was always informative and took the time to make sure every concern and question I had were put to ease and answered clearly. Brian quickly negotiated a settlement which ended up in my favor and was an advocate and fought for me when others wouldn't. This to me is greater than any amount of money. I would recommend this man if someone needs a lawyer that cares about his client and believes in the laws that help protect and keep the system fair and balanced for those who have experienced the imbalance.

I met Ms. Dentinger early on in my process of trying to decide if I was going to proceed with a divorce. From the outset, she was forthright and I felt confident in her advice. She listened to my desired outcomes in the process and kept that as our focus throughout the divorce proceedings. She is an excellent ally, tells you "how it is", and keeps things realistic. She was compassionate to me but was directive and dogged when dealing with the other attorney. Although divorce is a stressful process, Ms. Dentinger is phenomenal at what she does and I feel that my decision to have her represent me made my divorce proceedings as smooth as they could be. I would highly recommend her!

Tammy is a very knowledgeable attorney that really understands the process. I really appreciated how she handled my case and the aggressiveness of the opposing side. I worked very well with her. I really appreciated how Tammy would lay out the options and didn't always have to fight w/ the opposing side for the sake of fighting. However, when a issue or problem occurred that required a strong stance, she went to bat. Divorce is a very stressful event. Looking back I really valued her openness to share the pros and cons of various issues/proposals, and her ability to change tactics based on her knowledge of opposing attorneys. The opposing attorney in my case was known for being rather aggressive and argumentative. At the onset of our legal relationship, Tammy predicted what he would likely do and how we would respond, or even not respond. I am very pleased w/ the representation I received from Tammy and her staff. Tammy and her team always responded quickly to my calls/emails and was always available to answer questions. I would strongly recommend Tammy.

My former attorney retired and at his law office’s recommendation, I consulted and ultimately hired Chris Casebeer. If you’re looking for an attorney to kiss your rear, you won’t find that in him. Chris is brilliant. He’s an accomplished attorney whose reputation precedes him—he’s also a judge. Chris has the unique ability to approach every conversation and conflict with the multifaceted mind of a well-respected judge and top-notch attorney. Chris is bold and he is not afraid to push back and be aggressive when needed. Chris is blunt and will tell you how it is. If your demands of the other party are unrealistic or likely to be rejected, he will tell you. He doesn’t sugarcoat. Ultimately, Chris and his staff work for you. He will act as you wish and yet, I suggest you heed his advice as it’s backed with over 40 years of experience. Chris’ office is busy and it’s because he’s the best. I so appreciate the village model; if he’s unavailable, a competent and kind member of his team can talk to me or email me. I have experienced many difficult situations and feelings of self-doubt. Tamie and Kandi are wonderful to work with and so-very kind. With Casebeer, I know I’ve got the right person in my corner; peace of mind is invaluable to me.

Ronald Downs handled my car accident claim, that has gone on for nearly two years, and has handled everything exceptionally. He's walked me through all of the best possible ways and solutions to handle my case through and through, and has always been extremely professional with communication. Although as professional as he is, Ron can be very laid back, and is great at maintaining equal energy with his clients. Ronald Downs is my first lawyer, and although the results of my case did not end well, he still stuck to his guns and did everything is his power to ensure that I got what I deserved, and because of that I was exceptionally satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend Ron for his commendable efforts and assurance that his clients will, guaranteed, get what they are owed. Though he may be my first lawyer, if I have another accident in the future (hopefully that will not happen), Ronald Downs will be the first lawyer I will call to represent me in my case.

My husband and I hired Lori initially to help us terminate my Ex’s legal rights to my son and allow my husband to adopt my son. It ended up being a long, brutal, custody battle with my ex who had resurfaced after being absent for years from my son’s life. Lori fought hard for us, prepared us every step of the way, took time to listen to us but also told us ways we could cut costs by handling certain things ourselves. She told us our options along the way and explained why she recommended one option over the other. She helped us see things realistically and at times helped to reel in emotions and keep things focused on our son vs my ex. With her help we were able to come to a sustainable agreement that kept our son safe. My ex was granted supervised visits that would graduate to unsupervised, then overnights, then short summer visits then eventually 3week summer visits. Lori told us this was the best solution to give him time to prove himself or enough rope to hang himself. It’s been over 5yrs since that arrangement was made and he has still never had an unsupervised visit and only maintained contact for about a year. Lori still touches base with us to see how we are doing. Our son turns 18 next year and Lori will be handling the adult adoption case for us so my husband can finally legally be named his dad. We can’t thank Lori enough for all of her hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for an attorney you can trust with your children’s lives, look no further.

Elizabeth has been our children's attorney for over two years now. As noted in other reviews, Elizabeth's prior experience as a teacher has been of immense advantage to our children. She has been able to successfully navigate our children from one school district to another, along the line transitioning from a private school/public district ISP, to a public school/district IEP. We greatly appreciate her ability to finesse situations, and letting us know what is reasonable and what may not be reasonable for both parents wishes and schools requirements. We have not needed her to litigate so could not speak to that, but more importantly Elizabeth's skills have been able to get to the outcomes our children needed for their successful education. Very thorough and explicit with the district in meeting needs, and has been able to do so while maintaining an appropriately positive relationship with us and our children's teams.

I can't say enough about Grant Cook, representing me in two different cases. In two separate courts. One case against a landlord. The other a family court matter. I found him to be thorough and an excellent communicator. Kept me in the loop with information as he received it. He spoke in a way that gave me a clearer understanding of the laws as they pertained to my cases. I know it can be frustrating for some who hire other representation and feel out of the loop or spoken down to. Not so with Grant. He does an excellent job of focusing on what is most important in a case and kept me at ease. I was very pleased with the outcomes of my cases. Very sharp, trustworthy, and caring. I can't imagine being represented by anyone else.

Stacy showed she actually cared about the outcome my custody case, she exceeded my expectations immensely by the way she handled everything and how she advised me to try for joint custody which I thought there was no way it would succeed, but I was wrong and because of Stacy my daughter is very happy and her mom and I have been coparenting peaceful, friendly and very well. I recommend Stacy Regele %100 for anybody needing help in custody case or any other matter I’m sure Stacy would show the same amazing work ethic and pure awesomeness. Thank you.

Stacy took a very stressful and certainly unfamiliar situation and explained every step in a comforting way. She was so kind and patient with me, helping me understand the processes. I could not have asked for a better person to represent me. She covered everything and even future issues I would not have known about. Seeing me in my broken state and treating me with respect and compassion the whole way through. In the end, I walked away with everything I was asking for. Amazing result for a newly solo Father. I have highly recommended her to so many people in the last few years (they have had the same experience and could not have felt more at ease) that I should have earned a fast pass/discount for my next divorce. Thank you for everything!

Chelsea Armstrong came highly recommended related to a matter of my wife being owed an unpaid judgment. In an effort to evade payment, the person that owed the judgement resorted to legally harassing us instead. Chelsea stepped in immediately, was proactive, communicated extremely well, was rock solid on follow-through, was highly accurate in her work and legal assessment, took up the matter in a hearing that she initiated, and was very effective in shutting down the nonsense. I could not have asked for more. I highly recommend Chelsea and will no doubt be seeking her good help again.

Chelsea is compassionate and empathetic to parents in custody battles. She looks at the individual circumstances of each divorce and knows when it is appropriate to ask for more or less than the default parenting plan. She has a calm demeanor that is so necessary during a stressful divorce. She really listens to her client’s concerns. She is highly experienced and smart. I would choose Chelsea 100 times over to represent me and my child. She cares about children.

Chelsea Armstrong was my attorney for close to three years and in that time she helped me immensely. I went through a very nasty divorce that was fueled by a bitter ex. Along the entire process which eventually led to the Oregon Court of Appeals, Chelsea was great. She was very informative of our odds of winning at every stage. She was able to educate me on the case and give me great advice. At each junction I was the one making the ultimate decision with the help of her legal expertise. Quite often in a bitter divorce case it feels so traumatic and devastating to your life, in that aspect Chelsea was outstanding as well. I would talk to her and every time would feel better, and if I just followed her directions and did as she said I would be fine in the end. My ex had an attorney that just tried to do everything the old school way which inflates the cost. Chelsea really tried to keep the costs down as much as possible by thinking outside the box. I truly believe that you are so much more than just a case number to her. In such a negative climate which divorce can be, Chelsea was the only bright spot and I would give her the highest recommendation possible. I also forgot to mention that we won at every level, and that she always out maneuvered the three attorneys that the ex used. I was so fortunate to have found Chelsea!

Mr. Mauger was very kind and helpful explaining my options regarding a small claims case, giving me the confidence I need to move forward. His rates are reasonable and he was honest and straightforward. I would definitely hire him again for any legal issues, that hopefully, I will not ensue in the future.

Going through this whole process is arduous. Once you get through the BOLI process, and get the green light to hire an attorney, you can stop searching now. This firm is fantastic. They are highly knowledgeable, compassionate about what you've been through, and you can rest easier knowing your case is in the best hands. Bob, Sharia, and all their support staff are top of the line.

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

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.
    • Contingency Fee:
      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.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
