I had the privilege of working with Brian Zanotelli as my attorney for my grandma’s guardian and conservatorship, I couldn’t be more pleased with the exceptional service he provided. Brian’s expertise and dedication were evident from the very beginning.
He handled my case with the utmost professionalism and care. Brian was not only knowledgeable about the legal aspects but also showed genuine compassion and empathy for my situation. He was always accessible and took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring I understood my rights and options.
Thanks to Brian’s guidance and diligence, i was appointed conservator for my grandma, and I now have the support and protection I needed. I am immensely grateful for his legal expertise and his ability to navigate the intricacies of this area of law.
I highly recommend Brian Zanotelli to anyone in need of a guardian and conservatorship attorney. His commitment to his clients and his legal prowess make him a top choice for anyone facing similar challenges. Thank you, Brian, for making a difficult situation more manageable and for providing peace of mind throughout the process.

I requested a copy of police records. His secretary and himself said police don't make reports. I called Warrenton OSP and they sent me report no problem. He was talking figures. (Money) I was saying I'm not settling on anything til I get more medical treatment. The shyster called me and resigned from the case. There shysters!

I was rear ended and wanted representation. Having worked in the Auto Insurance Industry, I knew that the Ins. companies job is to pay as little as possible for my injuries and didn't care about me. Mr. "B" listened to me, my concerns and explained the process. I never used an Attorney before in my life, so I was apprehensive, but walked out of his office feeling comfortable with him, knowing I made the right decision.
Do exactly what he says, be patient let him do his job and you will be represented properly and have a man working hard for you. He listens and gives you direction and clear explanations. His executive asst. Karen is responsive and very friendly. Thanks to both of you for being on my side.

We had the honor of having Chris Frost represent us for my husband's Workers Comp case. Chris was willing to take our case after our previous workers comp lawyer had to close his business. Chris helped us in our time of need, she took the time to explain where we were at in our case and what she could do to help us. We always knew we could count on her to have our best interest in mind, she really does care about people.
Her office was organized and quick to respond. She would schedule times to meet or talk on the phone when it worked with our work schedule. She cheered us on as my husband obtained new employment. We are now at the end of this workers comp journey after 2 1/2 years and are blessed to have had a promising outcome with much thanks to Chris and her team.

If you are looking for a defense attorney, STOP LOOKING!!! CONGRATULATIONS, your arduous search is over! Let me start with the bottom line first. Ryan's legal counsel is spot on, and his years of experience are obvious in his expert quality of work. He and his team are kind, honest, transparent, hardworking, respectful, timely, family oriented, have fair prices for outstanding work, non-judgmental, and (the best part besides being an overall good guy) is that Ryan, and his team will go ABOVE AND BEYOND to fight for you in and out of court. His win record in Washington County speaks for itself for a reason. His paralegal, April, is nothing short of amazing and is a model of the highest standard for her profession. I cannot convey enough praise about Ryan and his team. Here's why. Literally, overnight my entire life was uprooted, turned upside down, lit ablaze and left for ruin in what is and will be the worst and scariest time of my life. Ryan Corbridge and his team became my brother in arms in my darkest hours of need and helped me get out of multiple dire situations. I was facing multiple charges brought on by false allegations from my ex-wife in a nasty divorce that placed everything in my life in jeopardy, including the ability to see my three young children. During this time I was forced out of my home, lost my job, and was crippled while recovering from a serious injury. When I first went to Ryan and his wife Sarah, he gave me a free consultation, heard my story with an unbiased open-mind, were professional and kind, told me what my options were, how he would advocate for me and what to expect from the process. Let me you, he DELIVERED on everything! Over a years span, Ryan, not only on a single occasion, but multiple occasions, helped get me released from detainment, fought fiercely in and out of court so I could see my children, got my ex-wife impeached on several different occasions for perjury, got an RO dropped, and got me FULLY ACQUITTED from two criminal charges and a contempt of court that had the potential to set me up for personal and professional hardship. This includes responding to outside of business hours emergency calls/situations.
PREP: April is hands down the best at her job coordinating and compiling your evidence and engaging with the court to support your case. This includes paying attention to highly detailed situations and circumstances that required diligent focus and hard work to maintain accuracy. Ryan will efficiently and clearly review with you all your options, create the needed motions to defend your case, and will prepare you for trial and testifying if needed. This is immensely helpful for not only you and your comfort, but to give you the best outcomes in high stress court situations. Trust me, most lawyers do not take this extra important step and leave you to fend for yourself.
IN COURT: Ryan acts as the glue with a punch between where preparation and opportunity meet to get you successful outcomes in court. With creativity, expert tact and delivery, he becomes a fierce articulate storytelling bulldog to advocate for you; playing the "in-between the lines" game of intra-court dynamics for each the judge, prosecutor, and cross-examines witnesses like Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men. He takes all situations, with either jury or bench trials, into account, prepares accordingly, and fights for what he thinks is honorable and right. His prices are fair, upfront, flexible on payment collections, and comes without hidden nickel and diming. He and his wife understand that you come to them seeking help in highly stressful situations in your life and do NOT try to monetarily exploit you in the process while you're at your most vulnerable like most other lawyers do. I cannot tell you how comforting, and worth every penny, his representation and his team's support has been. With emphatic praise, I highly recommend Ryan and his team to my family, friends and anyone needing legal representation.

Ryan fought with me to win a serious and complicated felony trial. This was an extremely stressful event for me and my family and he was able to guide us toward a successful outcome. I hope to never be in another similar situation, but would certainly contact him for help with any future legal issues and would highly recommend him and his team.

I've known Chris Hill as a personal injury trial lawyer for 20+ years. He is considered by many as one of the very top personal injury attorneys in Portland. As a fellow trial attorney, I have the greatest respect for his skill, his knowledge, and his character. Also, he's just a really good human being.

Neal helped lift a great burden off of my shoulders with his legal assistance. Once at the top of my professional career as a pharmacist, I unfortunately succumbed to burden of prescription drug addiction and ultimately plead guilty to 4 class C felonies in April, 2014. After 3 years of supervised probation, I contacted Neal in hopes that he may be able to get these charges reduced to misdemeanors. In addition, I explained that my second amendment rights were also very important to me, and my ultimate goals for this undertaking were to someday be able to practice as a pharmacist, and have my gun rights restored. First, we worked on getting the felonies reduced. We did end up having to go all the way to court but Neal was able to put together a persuasive argument as to why my convictions were unduly harsh. Through my progress in drug treatment and willingness to complete my sentence, Neal convinced the Judge and District Attorney that I was indeed, a different man than I was 4 years ago. My convictions were reduced to misdemeanors in an amended judgement approximately 6 months after my probation ended. Next came the gun rights. In less than 3 months, Neal surprised me with an order signed by a circuit judge restoring my rights to possess firearms. In less than one year, I'm no longer a felon, my civil rights have been restored, and I'm currently working on renewing my pharmacy license. I couldn't be much happier with how everything turned out. Neal made himself available to address any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire process. If you're in need of legal counsel, I would highly recommend Neal.

Neal is a great attorney. He was very detail oriented and explained everything that I needed to know. He was able to guide me through the process of dismissing my DUI and reckless driving charge. Does a great job at communicating with you about the next step. Highly recommend him as a attorney. Thank you Neal.

When my brother passed away unexpectedly last August, I had no idea what to do next. I live 2800 miles from him and I had no idea what the laws in Oregon were. I contacted an attorney that was extremely busy and could not help me, but they recommended Kirk Strohman. I feel like that was truly the luckiest recommendation for me. Kirk was the best attorney for my situation for sure. He and his staff guided me through a very difficult situation with kindness, patients and empathy. I would highly recommend Kirk Strohman and his associates for anyone that needs help with settling an estate.

Tony Abrams and Miwa Soto helped me feel safe and calm about the financial aspects of my dad's passing. Tony listened carefully, answered all my questions, and provided further resources. High points included Tony's diagram of assets on the whiteboard, and all three of us finding the funny side of Dad's handwritten additions to the POA making it unenforceable. (That's Dad!) Their website page explains Why We Are Different and I 100% agree. "Founder Tim Nay came to the law as an experienced psychologist and licensed clinical social worker." Like a healthcare team that "treats the whole person," the people of this firm help the whole family - and friends - and all the circles around us that matter.

We had a very bad experience with Mr. Hwang. This was the only appointment we had with him. I think he is impersonal, angry, self absorbed and not patient.
What do people need when they are going through the worst of their lives? -Patience, kindness and awareness of other people’s feelings, as death can be devastating for the family and friends.
Knowledge without these traits is like getting a big enciclopedia.
Please read all the reviews that have been written about him. I did not before setting an appointment, and regretted it.

Northwest Legal did an outstanding job putting together our somewhat complicated estate planning. Jinoo covered all the bases to make sure my husband and I, as well as our beneficiaries, are protected. I can’t say enough about the professionalism and dedication shown to us on every aspect of our estate. We and our grown children (live in a different state) are very grateful to know that when the time comes, all the legal aspects of managing our affairs have been already professionally addressed and Northwest Legal is just a phone call away should they need them. Thank you so much Jinoo and Stephanie!

Jinoo Hwang was referred to me by another lawyer who recommended him for his skills in creating a trust that was more useful for me because it was applicable in all 50 states and not just one. Jinoo's knowledge of recent changes in trust laws were invaluable in creating a trust which is inclusive of my estate but also allows me the flexibility to designate specific things to individuals in the event of my passing. The final piece that I was impressed with was the succession of trustees and the inclusion of a third party to act as the trustee in case of need. All trustees are fiduciary and charged with administering the trust in my best interest. This final piece afforded me much peace of mind. I recommend Jinoo's services in this manner.

I retained Mr. Knox as a criminal defense attorney in September 2021 after being arrested for a false felony DV charge and associated misdemeanor charges after an argument with my ex-partner.
Mr. Knox visited me while in jail and said I needed to provide $10k upfront to take my case. At first he seemed understanding, knowledgeable, and engaged but that quickly shifted.
After our initial meeting upon release from jail, he was mostly uncommunicative about the case, not responding to multiple inquires for weeks at a time, not even from his paralegals or office staff. He provided no information to me that I needed to hire a separate civil/family lawyer to deal with custody/visitation issues for my infant daughter, despite multiple inquires about that process. When I discovered that separately and asked him about it, he referred me to another attorney that actively made the situation with my ex worse. When I asked about what I could do proactively to demonstrate my willingness to comply with the legal process, he off-handedly said "Go register for one of those DV Intervention programs or whatever the [F-word] they are called".
At our plea bargain in Feb 2022, he seemed more interested in sharing the fact that he knew the assistant DA personally than he did about the details of my case. When I protested that the assistant DA was repeating the lies my ex was spinning to the court, he told me to "shut up or you'll ruin everything". He did not attempt to counter them in any way.
He allowed a No Contact Order against my infant daughter to be part of the felony plea down to misdemeanor, even though she was not harmed or involved in the incident in any way other than being 5 weeks old and in the room at the time. This allowed my ex to keep our daughter from me for the 2 years of my probation, without even sharing pictures or updates. He seemed completely uninterested with my concerns of being prevented from parenting my infant (and only) child. At no point did he share with me the evidence provided in the police arrest report that demonstrated I was not guilty of the felony, or question the poorly conducted investigation in any way.
When I asked him, at the plea bargain, what his experience was with this kind of case, he hemmed and hawed, and only after multiple direct inquiries did he acknowledge he had never argued a felony DV case in trial. He was pushing the plea bargain because that is all he knew how to do. He had previously explained the risk of going to felony trial, but not that he had no experience doing so until pressed directly as we were walking into the courtroom. At no point did he disclose what the negative ramifications of pleading guilty to the misdemeanor could/would be.
After the conviction and sentencing, he did not tell me anything about the probation requirement for immediately signing up for a Probation Officer, and I almost got an immediate probation violation. Within a few weeks of the plea bargain, he removed himself from representing me.
He flat out did not know what he was doing, and rather than disclose that while I was under duress in jail, he took my $10K, did the bare minimum, and jumped ship as soon as possible. I lost my home, job, professional license, standing in my business community, friends, relationship with family members, and 2 years of my infant daughter's life because of his incompetence on a case that multiple other attorneys have since said was easily winnable. He didn't even try.
He is a personal injury attorney that has no experience taking complex criminal defense cases to trial, and his mishandling of this case ruined my entire life. I would sue him for ethical misconduct and misrepresentation, but the 2 year statute of limitations has passed. I am reporting him to the bar for malpractice without disclosing his lack of experience.
Do not hire him for complex criminal defense representation.

Bill and his assistants were all extremely helpful and easy to work with. He resolved my case swiftly and without issue.

Scott, his paralegal John, and their entire team did a phenomenal job. He represented my mom during a wrongful death claim involving my dad. Their expertise and clear guidance were invaluable during a challenging time.
This was so new to us, we had no idea what we were going into,
but Scott was very patient and very compassionate. He kept us informed during every stage, answering any questions my mom had. He is an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer.
John treated us with such care and kindness. He always communicated clearly, responded quickly. He made sure we were always informed with any updates.
They are truly the best!
Their true dedication and ensuring the best possible outcome for our family’s case is something I will always be immensely grateful for.
Their services are greatly respected and 10/10 recommended.

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.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
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.
