Diego and his paralegal, Ashley, were on the ball with my husband's case from beginning to end. We were hesitant to get an attorney but insurance companies were proving to be huge headaches. We just didn't have the time or knowledge to handle it appropriately. So glad we went with Diego, he was amazing, very factual but also compassionate. I can't recommend him enough.

Excellent listening skills, verbal skills (layman's terms) considerate, patient, Respectful of my input and what I wanted In the settlement. Mr. Johnson is not only an outstanding attorney; he is a true gentleman. I'm a senior citizen, virtues are extremely important to me. I would highly recommend Mr. Jonathon Johnson to anyone. Sincerely, Martie

Johnathan Johnson stepped in to represent me in an auto accident case nearing the statute of limitations when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed improbable. He went straight to work during our first and only in-person meeting and employed a strategy to expedite the insurer’s response and encourage a reasonable settlement, avoiding drawn out litigation. With Mr. Johnson’s knowledge, skilful negotiations and excellent, concise communication the case was settled satisfactorily in less than seven weeks. He kept me informed of developments throughout and was responsive to my questions. I am so grateful to Mr. Johnson and would recommend him without hesitation.

24 May, 2019 by Michelle

Compared to a previous experience with a different firm, Jonathan was excellent at communicating every step of the way. I was not left in the dark as to the status of my case, and he reviewed each communication with me prior to submitting to the opposing party to verify accuracy and obtain my consent. Based on his previous experience with case law, he pursued an alternate angle in an attempt to obtain the best result. I knew I had a favorable advocate who was doing his best, even with a relatively small case. He was also very conscientious to not over-promise and under-deliver.

Kindness goes a long way. Mr. Hilts did not represent me. He did, however, provide a consultation. I was very impressed with the prompt call back. Although he couldn’t take my particular case, he was able to refer me elsewhere. He was very personable, courteous, and respectful throughout my interaction with him. His manner was kind and considerate, and not in the least rushed or hurried. If I did retain a personal injury counsel, it would be Mr. Hilts. He is the epitome of what an attorney should strive to be.

I had a car accident in 2015 that left me injured. I had no lawyer and no reference, so I simply search "attorney" and my zipcode on a search engine and found Ryan. I called him and several other attorneys. He answered my call right away, talked with me for a while and we set up an appointment to meet. I really enjoyed meeting him from the start and hired him the first day. He fought hard for me, never accepting the minimum ... always working for what was truly fair for me and not stopping until I told him I was truly satisfied. I never felt pressured with Ryan. He answered all my emails and calls right away and handled all the questions from the insurance companies so that I could focus on my healing. I truly appreciated his work ethic, his drive, and all the time and focus he put in to helping me. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking a personal injury lawyer.

08 Mar, 2016 by Pamela crawford

I hired Ryan to represent me in a personal injury matter. I have many years of legal experience and was inclined to represent myself, however I decided to hire him so I could focus on healing. Ryan's fee agreement was fair, equitable and easy for even a lay person to understand. Throughout my case, Ryan displayed competency and integrity, the latter especially being hard to find these days.

I had just been through a hip implant revision due to the first one being recalled. After my first visit with Keith, I knew I had made the right choice. There are so many ways to describe good people, all of them apply to Keith. We agreed up front that I would carry-on with my life without much interaction with Keith, he would just do what was necessary to get a good outcome. And good outcome it was. Good numbers, short time frame, and life goes on.

Keith was very professional with his assistance in a post traumatic event trial. He was both compassionate yet had an underlying tenacity with the legal process and getting the results and more than I had hoped for.

Roger was very concerned about our issues and if they would be ameliorated through litigation. He and his staff pushed our agenda with skill and energy. When we ran into a cutting edge of the law, Roger steered us around the unknown and helped us minimize our loss. We felt he truly cared about us throughout the process, and reached a fair compromise.

10 Mar, 2010 by Mylo

Roger was meticulous in discovery and in studying the Fair Credit Act in order to ascertain the viability of our case as well as the probability of a favorable judgment. He helped us understand our position and the potential pitfalls if we pursued the suit. While he was cautious in his overall approach, we also saw that he was willing to look at all aspects of the law and current trends in the credit industry to give us a robust representation. Most importantly he demonstrated integrity beyond reproach as he dealt with us, opposing counsel, and the mediation judge. We would highly recommend Roger to anyone seeking a competent attorney.

I used Roger Harris for several different legal maters including litigation over a period of 15 years and continue to use him when necessary. He is an outstanding attorney and a great resource.

I was fortunate enough to have Mr Huegli as my attorney during my DUI case. My case was difficult to prove because the police officer was not completly honest in his investigation and actually violated the law in order to charge me with a DUI. Mr. Huegli analyzed the events, the investigation and police reports and was able to determine what actually occurred. He then put a strategy together to prove this in court. I was most impressed with Mr Huegli's litigation and delivery during the trial. In the courtroom he was able to examine and cross-examine so that the jury could understand what actually happened. It was obvious that the police officer was not being entirely honest as Mr. Huegli cross-examined him on the witness stand. The jury deliberated for less than an hour and I was found "not guilty." I would highly recommend Mr. Huegli for legal representation.

22 Sep, 2012 by Sara

I won't get into too many details about my personal case, however I can tell you that Todd knows the law inside and out. The D.A. tried to bring in a bunch of evidence that would have really killed me and Todd knew exactly how to handle it all. He did an awesome job keeping stuff out of the trial and in the end I was WAY better off having Todd on my side. If you are looking for a criminal defense or DUI attorney, look no further. Todd is really nice, explains everything to you, and then is a machine in the court room.

13 Sep, 2012 by Aaron

I'm from CA, but had a little too much to drink while in Portland, OR and got a DUI. Todd defended me and did an awesome job. Todd did a great job keeping the DA honest and making sure they could only bring in evidence that was relevant. The details of my case were very involved and Todd did a great job making sure the inadmissible stuff stayed out of the trial. Overall, I couldn't recommend Todd more. He is a very nice guy, easy to work with, and understands the law very well.

He and his team were efficient, caring, and very communicative throughout the entire process. I would happily refer Patrick to friends and family should they need legal services. He really cares about his clients and results.

Patrick is amazing to work with. He showed he was there on top of things and was very professional. he showed that he was willing to go the lengths needed to help my case succeed. I am very pleased with the results and am very happy to refer him to any one and every one. Great person and very compassionate. hard working as well as shows his clients that he is there for them, I never felt like I was a back burner or that he was hurring or rushing my case. Patric stuck it out with me. Patrick is an amazing lawyer.

We hired Patrick Angel to handle our car accident when my wife was rear ended a couple of years ago. She was injured and missed some work and we needed help dealing with the insurance company to get medical bills paid, our car fixed and compensation for all our losses. Patrick immediately took control of the situation, got the insurance company to pay the medical bills that it was supposed to pay and helped us get a good settlement overall. We were very impressed with Patrick's work because he always communicated with us, kept us informed and involved us in the process. Patrick handled our legal matter with expertise and diligence. We were really very happy with the work he did for us.

I hired David Penoyer to represent me on three different occasions after I sustained injuries from accidents, two vehicular and one non-vehicular. On all three occasions, David sought fair and adequate compensation for me. He listened closely to my issues and concerns, expertly advised me on courses of action, and negotiated appropriate settlements for me. Through face-to-face meetings and phone conversations, David patiently answered all my questions over the course of the settlements and explained all the legalese. He is intelligent, experienced, thoughtful, measured, caring, assertive when necessary, and completely trustworthy. I highly recommend him.

Dave has just been wonderful. Sympathetic when he needed to be and extremely professional. He patiently answered all my questions and kept me informed of the status of my case throughout. If I left a message or email he was able to respond within hours! I have never felt in such good hands. He resolved my case even better than I ever could have imagined with such thoroughness that I feel grateful every day. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who might need his services in any way at any time. Thank you Dave.

Dave, is by far one of the best! I wouldn't recommend anyone else. He is very motivated and passionate about his work. Dave encourages you every step of the way and is very knowledgeable and tactical while he's been working on my claim.

I had to get Mr. Smith as my attorney relating to a bad car accident I had. He was able to get me the maximum amount of money for myself and my son. He was always professional and prompt in his responses. He knows what he is doing so if you need a great attorney I'd call him to see if he can help you.

At 8 months pregnant the car I was driving got t-boned and totaled by a vehicle that ran a stop sign. I had a horrible time dealing with the insurance company and it's representatives especially considering my pregnancy the physical state I was in resulting from the accident. I am the sort of person that would not seek legal counsel under normal circumstances, but I am so glad I did in this case! Mr. Lynn Smith has gone above and beyond not only in seeing to my legal needs in a way that has served my best interests, but has also been considerate of my emotional needs and circumstances as well. He has been thoroughly informative every step of the way regrading the resolving of my case, and has displayed exceptional communication skills. He has a fantastic lawyerly bed-side manner, and has consistently put me at ease throughout this sometimes difficult process. Hehas not only gained my confidence in his abilities, but also has continually strengthened my own sometimes weakened self-confidence levels regarding the outcome of my case. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I haven't always been easy to get a hold of, and at times I was slow to fulfill tasks I agreed to complete in order to move the case along. Mr. Smith never failed to show me patience, compassion, and kindness. On the other hand, he was very easy to reach when I needed him, and quick to respond to my email and voice messages. Mr. Smith has EXCELLENT client care skills, and never fails to make me feel like his most important client no matter what else he has on his plate! I highly recommend his services, and will not hesitate to employ his experience and legal services in the future should the need arise. Thank you Mr. Smith!

I was injured in a slip and fall case back in 2014. When the insurance company would not quit harassing me, I decided I needed an attorney. I live in Seattle, so I started there. I called every attorney that was also licensed in Oregon (the accident happened in Oregon). I must have spoken to at least 15 attorneys who laughed me off because it was a slip and fall. They didn't want to hear about it, even when I knew they didn't have to prove liability, just damages. Some attorney in Oregon referred me to Jose. He listened to me, heard me tell him how liability was already clear and that damages was the only issue that needed to be resolved. Because of this, I got a settlement that was more than any slip and fall that I had ever seen. In fact, I have never seen a slip and fall win. If you have a case that you think will never be won, call Jose, and tell him that Terry sent you.

08 Feb, 2017 by Aaron

Jose was excellent in handling my auto accident case. He was very knowledgeable and personable throughout the process, and was always available to answer questions and help me navigate through the complex nature of my case. His team in the office was also stellar, and made the whole process go smooth. Although I of course wish I was not hit in a auto accident and hurt, I'm glad I had Jose on my side through the deposition and mediation, and that I was able to avoid going to court. I was satisfied with the settlement I received. I would highly recommend Jose to anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer.

I had the privilege of working with Rhett Bernstein, and I couldn't be more impressed with his dedication and professionalism. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a sincere interest in my well-being, taking the time to understand my situation on a personal level. Throughout our interactions, it was evident that he genuinely cared about me as a person, not just another client. One thing that truly stood out was his commitment to ensuring that I was fully informed about every aspect of my case. He patiently explained all my options, walking me through the legal intricacies in a way that was easy to understand. His clarity and expertise instilled confidence in me, allowing me to make informed decisions with peace of mind. What truly sets Rhett apart is his willingness to go above and beyond for his clients. He didn't just provide legal advice; he actively worked alongside me, guiding me through the decision-making process and offering invaluable insights every step of the way. His dedication to my case was unwavering, and he spared no effort in ensuring that I received the best possible outcome. Even after our initial consultations, Rhett and Sommer continued to check in regularly, demonstrating a genuine concern for my well-being. He consistently went the extra mile, exploring all avenues to help resolve any lingering concerns or issues that arose. His proactive approach and accessibility reassured me that I was in good hands throughout the entire process. Thanks to Rhett Bernstein’s expertise, compassion, and unwavering support, what could have been a daunting legal journey became a manageable and even empowering experience. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of legal assistance. He's not just a remarkable lawyer; he's a compassionate advocate who truly puts his clients first."

RJ Sohler has been with us since the VERY beginning of our business, eight years ago. He has helped us with the initial setup, issues, purchases, accounting, business growth, messy taxes, Quickbooks, my one million questions, and everything in between. His team covers so many areas and has been a vital part of our success. Marina Elliott has since joined Sohler Law and she, too, is knowledgeable and kind, always explaining things that seem difficult in an approachable way, and just straight up, she gets things done! We will always continue to use Sohler Law!!

I came to Peter to get help with my pending divorce after a disastrous start with another lawyer. Yes, his fees are high, but I feel like I paid for the best and got it. He is efficient, and I never felt like he was padding the bill. He might dictate a letter and have his assistant type it up for a total charge of 30 minutes, whereas a less experienced attorney would charge one or two hours to write a similar document. Peter demonstrated excellent knowledge and experience. Most importantly, he has a strong personality. I don't want a lawyer who just does what I say. I want one who can explain to me the situation I'm in and the options I have, whether I want to hear it or not, and then let me choose my path.

When entering his firm you realize your dealing with an exceptionally old practice. Peter Glazer had no warmth and a very unwelcoming demeanor. He was not very responsive, messy, disheveled, disorganized and rude. I would never recommend.

08 Oct, 2014 by Anonymous

I went to Mr. Glazer for a consultation last month. During my consultation he made me feel like his opinion was all that mattered, he talked over me constantly and would get up several times during our meeting and walk out. I asked the assistant where he was going. He seemed puzzled too. I found it to be very unprofessional and rude. I was very shocked he conducted things this way. I ended up finding an attorney who wasn't pompous and rude.

Sara L. Gabin is the most obnoxious attorney I have ever had the misfortune of coming in contact with.

She is not! Trying to explain the circumstances of a somewhat complicated case to her was like swimming in a school of Parana. I suspect people having a free consultation with her not only come away knowing it wasn’t worth every cent of it , but feeling cheated out of five minutes of life they spent in her presence. I did not get that far. She may actually know what she’s doing, but she made up her mind about the case I brought to her before the first sentence was done and couldn’t be convinced to listen after that. She even interrupted me when I tried to wish her a Merry Christmas and Better year next year.

I consulted with Sara only briefly, but was impressed by her knowledge of the issues and her genuine desire to help me reach the best outcome. I tend to dislike lawyers, but I liked Sara.

I have contacted several Portland Area attorneys regarding my disability case for multiple illnesses, including a life threatening disease. In comparison she was incredibly rude and insensitive. While she gave a similar overview of the how the process would work as did other attorneys, I was quite surprised when she cut me off before I was able to give her all of my diagnosis. I had only started with some of my less serious issues when she said that she was wasting her time and she did not know why she was speaking to me. I think that if a professional is concerned with wasting her time on cases she is not interested in taking on they should have a screening process and not berate the person for calling. Many people applying for disability are doing it as a last resort and may find it painful to discuss. My diagnosis of Melanoma took my father's life and my diagnosis is still very fresh to me. All other attorney expressed sympathy, but she belittled me for saying one of my issues was depression. By the time she hung up I had begun to cry. I wondered why someone wanting to represent the disabled would be so cruel, but she made her intentions clear. She wants to make money, she did not think I would make her money, and so she had no time for a moment of kindness. Other attorneys expressed that my case was complicated but in no way said anything to make me feel worse about my situation. They offered helpful advise on next steps and encouraged me to make another appointment. I called her because I wanted to support a female independent attorney. I wish I had done more research when I found other serious questions about her professionalism.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.

Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:

Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:

Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.

How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:

Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.

Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:

Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.

While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.

How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:

Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:

Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.

By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
