Working with David was a great experience! After surviving a scary situation and struggling to understand the insurance process and case settlement post-accident, it felt amazing to put my case in an expert's hands. I felt seen, understood, and prioritized throughout the entire process. And ending with a higher settlement amount than I thought would be possible certainly felt good too :)

Rosie and her team lifted a weight off my shoulders when I was dealing with my car insurance. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Rosie took care of it and kept me informed in a timely manner. They got me more than what I expected and sent me beautiful flowers after I had my baby. Highly recommend Johnston Personal Injury Law Firm!

Scott and his team were outstanding throughout the process. They provided thorough advice and educational guidance throughout our case. We always felt that we were well informed and had great responsiveness to all of our inquiries. Beyond that, they were simply kind and trustworthy partners in some of the most difficult circumstances. Truly great folks there, all across the team, led by a great partner in Scott.

Scott and his team were excellent in supporting our family after my husband injured his back. A serious injury that puts the primary income earner in your family out of work for several months with an uncertain future is very scary. From immediately following the accident through navigating the medical system, insurance, to an eventual settlement Scott and his team were accessible, kind and extremely competent. We would highly recommend their firm!

I have been a trial attorney for over fifteen years. When I was injured in a car wreck, I looked carefully for an injury attorney who: a) would take away all of the hassle and stress of personally having to deal with claims adjusters and opposing counsel; b) would not only keep me informed on a regular basis of the status of my case, but proactively make sure I was doing all the things I needed to do on time; c) knew Personally Injury law thoroughly -- both substantively and with demonstrated litigation experience -- from the claims stage all the way through courtroom litigation; and, d) MOST IMPORTANTLY, one who was not afraid to seek the best possible outcome in my case aggressively. (I have been around enough attorneys to know that many are either afraid of litigation/trial, or they want to take the first or second counter offer from the other side because it's quick money in the bank.)
Elizabeth exceeded my expectations on all four of my requirements. I consider myself to be pretty on the ball with my to-do checklists, but sometimes when I slacked on sending in treatment reports to the firm, for example, she would email me personally reminding me to get a, b, or c done, and would also update me with that status of the case/negotiation so I always understood exactly where things were.
In addition, on our second settlement obtained (the UIM claim), Elizabeth was actually confident that she could get the other side to an even better number than she'd already negotiated. It was me who let her know that I trusted that she could, but that just for my peace of mind I wanted to settle at the good enough number she already obtained and move on with my life. She would have kept fighting, though, and with confidence.
I know another attorney who also retained her and came away also completely pleased with the communication and with the outcome.
100 % recommendation for Elizabeth Welch!

One of the most skilled and gifted attorneys in the area. Elizabeth makes the legal process seem seamless, and she always keeps you in the loop. She is well versed in personal injury cases and commands a wealth of legal knowledge at her disposal. She makes you feel at home; reducing the stress of complicated cases. She ended up getting my case settled for more than expected. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Ms. Welch did an excellent job representing me in an automobile accident claim. Once I engaged her, she handled everything and I was awarded a fair settlement. It was a relief not to have to deal with insurance company.

Our adult granddaughter was hit by a car while on her bike. She incurred horrendous injuries with corresponding medical bills, for which there was little insurance. It was such a relief to be able to turn her case over to Cynthia Newton as an experienced professional, and not have to deal with the liability and financial issues, while we were worrying if our granddaughter would ever recover. Thankfully she made an almost full physical recovery. During the case, Cynthia showed such patience in dealing with a difficult situation and the end result was better than we had been led to expect. Cynthia was always available to answer our questions and concerns and she treated each person in our family with the greatest respect. We also got valuable advice from Scott Sell in their office. We highly recommend Cynthia Newton and her team as personal injury lawyers.

Being hit by a car while cycling was a traumatic experience. Facing the complexity of the medical system and insurance companies while recovering was not a prospect I wanted to face alone. Fortunately, the law firm Thomas, Coon, Newton & Frost was recommended to me and Cynthia Newton agreed to represent me. Her team is outstanding. While it took months to resolve my claim, they were professional, extremely competent, communicative and caring. They are expert with cycling cases.. The positive outcome in my case was due primarily to the knowledge and diligent work of Cynthia Newton and her team. They come highly recommended for good reason.

My father had a horrible accident that almost ended his life. I was stuck in a world that was unknown to me. How do I deal with insurance companies? Hospitals? Interpreting Medical Charts? I googled a few attorneys and the one that stood out to me was Mr. Coon. Mr. Coon has led an admirable career and has helped people like you and me his whole life. I contacted Mr. Coon's office and spoke to a nice lady who scheduled a meeting. After meeting with Mr. Coon he decided to take my father's case. It ended up being one of the best decisions I have ever made.
What is remarkable about the Thomas Coon Newton & Frost team is that they each specialize in their own field. Mr. Coon leveraged the expertise of Mrs. Newton (Who is a remarkably kind, and a killer negotiator.) She made the world of difference within my father's case.
Mr. Coon and Mrs. Newton were the light at the end of the tunnel for my family. This law firm puts their heart and soul regarding the individuals they represent. Mr. Coon and Mrs. Newton got justice for my family. My mother, father and I will forever be grateful for them. Thank you Mr. Coon and Mrs. Newton for representing our family. If I could give you 100 stars I would.
Sincerely,
-The Work Family

Jim helped me through a difficult situation when my now ex-wife moved out unexpectedly and hired an attorney. Jim gave me sound legal advice and provided prompt responses to her attorney's proposals. When the dust settled I got a divorce. Afterward, Jim helped me re-write my will and clean up all the loose ends of paperwork and things to file that I hadn't even thought of. He was a straight-shooter, compassionate, and able to tell me things I had a difficult time hearing. I will always appreciate the work that he did for me and consider myself lucky that he was on my side. His expertise and experience were invaluable. I have used Jim since that time for other legal advice and concerns.

Mr. Huegli is the finest attorney I have ever known. He has an uncanny ability to research and locate all evidence and put forth the finest preparation for trial. He represented us in the successful prosecution of an individual fraudulently promoting himself as a financial advisor to an elderly member of our family. His unyielding efforts were central to evidence prepared for the county prosecutor leading to the conviction of a perpetrator on more than 10 counts of first degree theft. Without Mr. Huegli's tenacity and thoroughness, a similar outcome would have been unlikely.

I was hit by a drunk driver in Sunriver while on vacation. While I herniated a disc, I had a ton of preexisting conditions that complicated everything. I am a lawyer and thought I could handle this but when the insurance company rejected my $15,000 settlement demand, I called a defense lawyer I knew in Redmond for a recommendation and without hesitation recommended Tim. I hired him and he and his Assistant, Julie, took over everything. 6 months later I had my deposition (where I thought I did poorly) but a month later Tim had secured a $300,000 policy limits offer!! No IME. I did not have surgery. It was an absolutely wonderful result. The best I could have hoped for. Hire Tim. You want the best on your side.

Without Janes dedication and hard work, the life of our precious son and that of our family would be very different and difficult indeed. Her staff was amazing and so great about keeping us informed of developments, and were so kind and gracious to work with. Very professional office but with a very compassionate way of dealing with difficult situations. We fell very blessed to have been represented by Jane and her colleagues and would recommend her to anyone we knew that needed this type of help. She has the knowledge and heart to do what she is doing and for that we are forever grateful!

I really couldn't be happier with Jane, John (Coletti), their staff (Carolee, Lisa, and Jan). Breaking from the normal lawyer stereotypes, I found Paulson & Coletti to be ethical, honest, and free of that normal 'slimy' lawyer stigma. Paulson and Coletti are good people, and I go to bed every night thankful to have had them on my team.

If you're up against Ms.O'Kasey Esq, you better have one heck of a case and one heck of a lawyer. I had the honor to be desposed by her over a lawsuit where she was defending a Warren Buffet company. I had studied her work for a few years and she is definitely of a higher echelon than many of the ivy league lawyers that I had studied (cousin/in-law to my kids) J VanKirk and Others. She's highly competitive and will do things outside of the box to win. If you have to choose between O'Kasey or other prominent firms, Okasey's skill set, competitive nature and dedication to the art of lawyering is unmatched. She's the authority at court, judges listen to her. Very hard for any judge to go against her and perhaps would be an uncommon occurrence for that to happen.

Ms. Snyder is an extremely competent attorney. She was always in touch with my case, went out of way to speak with me directly, (rather than have her staff make the calls) and always kept me informed of the status of my case. I can not express how pleased I am with the outcome of my case. I could not be happier. I highly recommend Ms. Snyder to anyone that is looking for an attorney. She will stand up for your rights.

Mr Mitchell takes the time to thoroughly review your case and responds with professionalism and efficiency.
His approach is straightforward and open, he gives you the information you need in terms you can understand.
He is honest when discussing financial terms, but, surprisingly, he does not focus on money, he is focused on service.

My case was related to an issue with an shipping claim by a major company used by many Americans that was damaged in transit. Insurance was paid for and the shipping company did not accept responsibility and pay the claim. After Ron addressed my case he was able to get a settlement for me which I am quite pleased with.
Highly recommend!

Gavin Bruce, what to say… He is really just the best. It’s like an as seen on TV lawyer but he BACKS IT UP. I really can’t rave enough about Gavin— or GB as I call him. He keeps it professional but knows how to knock back a Costco pizza if the time comes. This lawyer really puts the GAVE in gavel. He also volunteers his time as a local mock trial coach and orphan saver. The kids cannot say enough good about him, I’ve heard they make fun of his bald head (the one drawback) but he takes it in good faith, just like his practice. Right now he is a federal prosecutor or as his convicted call him “satan spawn” but he only puts away the bad guys. If he ever comes out of retirement and starts his own practice let me tell you, he is the big man with a big plan.

Jeremiah was amazing, helping me with every part of my case. From my initial consultation I knew he was trustable, as he tried to assist me with resolving the matter on my own, saving time and money, which would have prevented him from gaining a client. Unfortunately the insurance company wouldn't budge, and I had to take legal action. From the moment I signed on with Jeremiah he took care of everything. Working with him and Phoebe was great, and they answered any question I had and took care of the difficult communications so I didn't have to. We had to go all the way through mediation and we prevailed! He helped get a much fairer award than the insurance company wanted to offer. I would definitely look to Ross Law if I need representation in the future!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ross Law and Jerimah Ross as my attorney. He represented me in automotive hit and run which I was not responsible for but some how was caught in the middle of - due to a shady unmentioned dealership and individual who was. Jeremiah was able to represent my interest and get this sorted out within a couple of weeks. I had been trying to resolve it on my own for almost a year - ad unfortunately was not able to clear my involvement until he represented came on the scene. Thank you and truly appreciate your expediency in getting this put to rest.

I was very concerned when I first applied to Roy Law Group, and to be honest scared. I had paid for short term disability and long term disability and was denied through my insurers even though I was diagnosed with Cancer! To my surprise, the people at Roy Law group: Chris, Mallory and Holly, were all so professional but what surprised me was they cared. They took time to get to know me, ask me the tough questions. They researched why I was denied and then fought for my appeal. They are very diligent in their research, requesting records and looking for the facts and most importantly seeing there is a human who is in need. Thank you

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.
What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?
A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
