Scott K. and his team at Forum Law Group were extremely professional and were a blessing to work with during the most difficult time after Dan was injured and became paraplegic due to being struck by a car while crossing the street in Portland, OR. We were able to focus on Dan's healing while they managed the legal issues and all details of dealing with the various insurance companies. They served us in a timely manner and the settlement total was all we could hope for. Without any reservations, we highly recommend Scott and his team as legal advocates for personal injury cases. Aleta and Dan B. P.S. Scott was appropriately at the top of the list our family created when searching for representation!

Words cannot fully express our gratitude for the brilliant work the team at Forum Law did during a very difficult time. They were kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. The support and guidance we received throughout the litigation process were greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten. It was a technically challenging case, but Scott, John, and all the team were experienced and organized. They communicated exceptionally well and kept things on track, and they worked with integrity and respect towards all parties at all times. Their kindness, knowledge, and hard work proved successful, and we are tremendously thankful to each one of them. I hope I never have the need for this type of litigation again - but if I do, I will call them without hesitation.

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.

Senft Injury Advocates were life savers for me after experiencing a serious accident on the highway during rush hour traffic. My car was rear-ended and I received back injuries. Everyone I dealt with at Senft Legal were excellent advocates in helping me navigate through a very complex, difficult case. Katie responded immediately whenever I had questions. Jack got me the best settlement possible in my case. I highly recommend this firm! They are knowledgeable, responsive and capable.

Yadira Ramirez is an excellent attorney. I was blindsided by false sexual assault allegations. Yadira was always calm, cool and collected. I felt she had my best intentions. She had a lot of patience when I got angry or upset because I didn't understand how the courts work, or how lawyers communicate with the courts, and also the laws. I felt more at ease once when she thoroughly explained how court proceedings take place. Although, I could not ever be fully at ease because of the implications in my case. We had evidence that showed my innocence. But even with that, I still felt anxiety because of how inconsistent the courts in America are. Yadira could have told me that I had a airtight case and that we were going to win in court. But she was honest and said that courts are unpredictable and that she can't guarantee a victory. Which I understand. But she also said that we do have good evidence and that would show favorably for me in court. Court was set for a Friday, and on Monday my accuser decided she wanted a consent agreement. I did not know what that was, and Yadira thoroughly explained what it was. The first draft of the consent agreement their attorney sent Yadira was bogus and unfair. Yadira told me to stand firm and not accept the terms. Yadira redlined the document an added language in my favor. Their side sent back another agreement, and Yadira once again said to stand my ground and not accept it... So finally 2 days before we're supposed to go to court. My accuser and her attorney caved and gave in to our terms and a much more favorable consent agreement, which ended up in a dismissal of my accuser's restraining order against me... I was extremely anxious and nervous the entire time, 3 months of absolute hell. Yadira gave me my life back and restored a little faith in the legal system. There are lawyers out there that 100% care about their clients and Yadira is absolutely one that cares. I recommend Yadira for any legal matters regarding restraining orders. Thank you Yadira

Thomas Ybarra is a highly organized and knowledgeable attorney and I'm so grateful for his attention to detail when it came to my divorce proceedings. He was always honest with me about what to expect and also heard me when I told him what I wanted/needed. He was able to successfully argue my position for sole custody of my two children, secure me spousal support and child support, and negotiate an agreement that allowed me to keep my house. His attention to my case was constant and I could always get ahold of him when I needed advice. I highly recommend Mr. Ybarra's counsel if you are looking for representation in a divorce or child custody case. He knows the law and is able to explain how the process works. He made my very volatile divorce bearable and having him in my corner was a complete godsend. No one truly wins in divorce, but in my case he got me a big win on paper. Grateful for his representation.

I’ve known Joel since I got in my accident in April of 2022. The chiropractic office that I was going to pushed me to call him emphasizing that he would make sure I was taken care of - and they were completely right. The impact of my accident added so much stress to my already stressful life as a single, working mom who was in school at the time and is now a 1st grade teacher. I felt like I had been spread way too thin and was so grateful to have someone managing my case. He has always been communicative about next steps, responsive when I needed to get ahold of him, understanding when I myself wasn’t great at communicating, and he really fought for me. When the accident happened I didn’t know what to expect in terms of how much money I would be awarded. I did endure a lot of pain and suffering in life because of it, and I do have permanent damage in my spine, but I didn’t expect much to come from it. He got me more than I could have ever imagined. And it started from them offering relatively nothing. Joel has a strong knowledge about how the system works and uses that knowledge to negotiate and continue pushing for his clients. I and my family are forever grateful to Joel and his team for his empathy, continued support, and diligence. I am so thankful that I listened to the advice that brought me to him. If you decide to hire Joel to represent your case, I am excited for you. It was one of the best choices I’ve made.

I was injured in a car accident, and I hired a lawyer without any research or knowledge of what to even look for. The experience was terrible, to say the least. I got false information, lost money I didn’t have and wasted a lot of time with a lot of added stress because I couldn’t get any answers or help. I was lucky enough to know someone else who was already going through the legal process with Attorney David Eder. My conversation with them is what also made me realize I was completely with the wrong firm. I was grateful my case hadn’t already closed and reached out to David. He spent time with me on the phone and in person walking me through everything and answering questions so simply, questions I had been asking the old attorney for the last 1.5yrs! So I switched over to David Eder. David and his partners (Ben Eder, Joel Sturm and Andrew Gust) took over my case and got everything in order. They were able to get the case out of a frozen position into double limits and my health insurance bills were waived. The difference between the first firm and these guys was night and day. I wish I had found them sooner, but I am so blessed to have found them before it was too late! Thank you!

After my husband was tragically hit and killed by a commercial truck, I didn't know what to do. A professional contact recommended I call Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. In my first meeting, I met with all of the partners. While David Eder was the lead, his other partners (Andrew, Ben and Joel) all participated. I could tell that they understood the law, the complexities and were ready to get to work on my family's behalf. As I dealt with the loss of my husband, my lawyers systematically put together the case, including fights over available coverage. I could not have asked for a better group of aggressive legal minds in my corner.

I was injured on a charity motorcycle ride. I was severely injured. I underwent multiple surgeries. I was close to death many times. I was on life support. I lived in the hospital and a rehab facility for awhile. I could barely move. I had multiple surgeries. After the first few surgeries I had multiple boxes of multiple reams of paper from the medical records of this event. I tried to handle my claim myself because the total limit amounts were far less then my damages. The insurance companies were trying to get over on me. It took weeks to summon enough energy to call and deal with the insurance people and the claim process. After getting the run around from the insurance companies I had thoroughly researched the top lawyers in Oregon. I contacted most of these super lawyers and lawyers with prestigious accolades who are considered the best. For the most part they treated my situation as just another case. I came across Travis Mayor who is also a Super Lawyer with many prestigious accolades as well. I called the office of Travis Mayor and spoke with his kind receptionist. She informed me that Travis was on vacation. A few minute later I received a call from Travis in Hawaii! He cares that much about his clients that he called me from Hawaii while he was with his family. I told him my situation and out of kindness and compassion he said this total limit amount of money would in no way be fair to you. So Travis offered me an EXTREMELY low flat fee out of the kindness of his own heart. He truly cared about me and my situation. After all the pain it was a blessing to come across a man who truly cared. Once Travis took over I was able to focus on recovering. Travis was extremely easy to contact and in most cases got back to me before I could get back to him. He kept me updated and presented everything to me in a direct and clear manner. He outlined the choices I could make and he let me have full control over the decisions of the case while guiding me throughout the process effortlessly. Travis got the limit amounts from both insurance companies. He negotiated my bills down extremely low. And he also searched every possible outlet for further money. Travis went above and beyond and he did it all like a champion with no sweat. Travis is the best lawyer I could have gotten not just in Oregon but anywhere in the globe. I do not think Travis could have done anything better. Travis performed at 1000% and went above and beyond for me and not for money but out of care for my situation. They truly do not make them like this. Thank you Travis. If anyone would like to speak to me as a reference to hear my story please contact Travis and His Team for my contact info. What Travis did for me is more than words. Travis Mayor deserves a 10/10 on this site.

For the past year, I have had the pleasure of working with High Desert Law following a motorcycle accident I experienced last summer. Their dedication and expertise have been truly remarkable. From the beginning, they maintained consistent communication, thoroughly explaining every step of the process, and ensuring I received the settlement I deserved during such a frightening and challenging time in my life. I cannot recommend this team more highly! They made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire journey, always keeping me informed and reassured.

I didn't want to ever hire a personal injury attorney, but I had the good fortune to be referred to David Rosen and his team at High Desert Law after a most unfortunate vehicle accident. The High Desert Law team were clearly experienced, hard working on my behalf and were able to best prepare me for depositions that led to a settlement beyond my expectation. You won't find a more expert, dedicated and communicative team than High Desert Law.

We are so thankful that we had the wonderful people at High Desert Law by our side when we had to deal with a parent’s worst nightmare. Our daughter was involved in a horrible car accident that almost took her life and required multiple surgeries and hospital visits. A dear friend of ours encouraged us to contact Dave and his team right away and we are so glad that we did. We were able to focus on our daughter and her healing while Dave and his team lead us through all of the legal and insurance headaches that come with such an event. Dave and his staff were there whenever we needed them and always made sure that we understood exactly what was happening. It wasn’t just “business” with the team of High Desert Law, it was a friendship that we will appreciate for a long time.

I consulted Jason over the period of two days while I was in the process of settling my personal injury claim for a car accident. 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.

I am very fortunate to have been referred to Jason Posner after having been involved in a motor vehicle collision as a bicyclist by a well-respected law firm in Portland. Jason did a wonderful job guiding me through all the legal choices in how to settle my personal injury insurance claims settlement by carefully listening to my wishes and providing expert opinion and advisement. 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. Given my very positive experience with Posner law firm I unequivocally recommend hiring Jason as a very skillful Personal Injury Lawyer – you will be glad you did too!

My husband and I hired Jason after my husband was in a bad car accident. Jason was fantastic through the long process of getting my husband the proper compensation for his current and future losses, he was educated and seemed to genuinely have my husbands and my best interest at heart. He was always more than willing to answer any and all questions and he made sure that we understood what was happening throughout the case. 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.

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.

For a time I was a legal assistant, so i have a fairly good sense when it comes to telling the difference between a great, mediocre, and lousy attorney. Derek Larwick is one of the best I have come across. He'll evaluate your case and give you an honest answer as to whether or not it would be prudent to move forward. No BS, no "ambulance chaser" mentality, just a straightforward, knowledgeable dude. His staff is great as well-- very responsive and sweet. My feelings about him were validated the day I walked into his office and saw what looked like a florists' shop more than an attorney's office. I asked about the numerous vases of flowers and was told that they were all from happy clients. Need I say more?

Almost two years ago, I had an accident that kept me in hospital and rehab for three months. Couldn't sit up, stand, or walk for even longer. Devastating. I was referred to Derek Larwick. A great blessing, as things turned out. As a one-time lawyer, I could not imagine better representation. The team of Derek, Ashley, Beatrice, and Enya were willing to take on a case they weren't sure of at first, but toiled away for months. They were all fabulous. And today, I got a check for more than I had thought possible. Today, my life is transformed. Huge thanks. Deep appreciation.

A year after my accident I called the Larwick Law firm with my dilemma. My recovery from my back/neck injury had plateaued out leaving me with a permanent affliction. Could they help me? It had been many years since I had needed a lawyer and I was very pleasantly surprised to hear that Attorney Larwick would come for a consult and as I lived 75 miles away we made arrangements to meet at my local library. Any trepidation I had had fell away during the meeting. He was so informative, skilled and reassuring I became a grateful client on the spot. During the next several months his office worked so efficiently with me. Phone calls, emails even teaching me how to sign papers electronically! Always professional and kind. After close consideration we came to a decision to accept a settlement that worked for me. One of his office staff delivered the check right to my door! Attorney Larwick and his bright staff were a highlight during my ordeal I shall ever be grateful for. They went the extra mile . . .

They were kind, empathetic, patient, and respectful, as well as thorough, competent, accessible, and professional throughout the process. Communication was frequent and always clear. It's very evident that Sheldon is sincerely committed to obtaining the best possible outcomes for his clients. He is particularly gifted as a negotiator in advocating for the maximum and fairest possible settlement and I am truly grateful for that.

Let me tell you one thing, if there was an option for 7-star I would've picked it. I’m incredibly grateful to have had Jonathan Corey by my side during my divorce—a process that was far more complex and emotionally draining than I ever anticipated. From day one, Jonathan’s communication was clear, consistent, and compassionate. He patiently explained every step of the legal journey, answered my (many) questions without hesitation, and kept me grounded when the stakes felt overwhelming. My situation involved defending against unfounded allegations across multiple fronts, including interactions with DHS and the civil court system. Jonathan’s attention to detail was remarkable. He meticulously reviewed every document, flagged inconsistencies in the opposing side’s claims, and built a strategy that prioritized facts over drama. What impressed me most was his calm, steady professionalism. Even when the process dragged on longer than expected, Jonathan never rushed or cut corners. He reassured me that patience would allow the truth to surface—and he was right. Jonathan’s ability to balance assertiveness with respect for the process made all the difference. He never resorted to unnecessary conflict, but he also never backed down from defending my rights. His updates were frequent and straightforward, and he always made sure I understood my options without sugarcoating the challenges. What truly sets Jonathan apart, though, is his integrity. He treated my case with the care and urgency of someone fighting for a close friend, not just a client. By the end, his dedication paid off: the falsehoods were exposed, and I could finally move forward with peace of mind. If you’re facing a high-conflict divorce or legal battle, I can’t recommend Jonathan Corey enough. He’s the kind of attorney who fights tirelessly for fairness while staying grounded in what’s ethical and real. Thank you, Jonathan, for turning a nightmare into a resolution that protected my rights—and my sanity. You’re a rare find in this field.

Jonathan Corey was a great divorce lawyer to have on my side. I went through a tough divorce, was dealing with a large marital estate and a long term marriage. I was really worried about all of the complexities of our estate dealing with real estate, stocks, retirement accounts, precious metals, etc., not to mention children and all of the other things that have to be dealt with. Jonathon was a great communicator and dug into understand all aspects of the divorce. He was a real advocate for me and really helped me get the best case scenario for my situation. He was also very responsive and had amazing professionalism throughout the entire process. If you want someone that is on your side, cares about what happens to you and your children and gets you the best possible representation with the best possible outcome you don't need to look any further. Thank you Jonathan and the Corey Law Group!

Mr. Duckler, from the first contact, was very informative and helpful. I was "dumped" by a law firm in the middle of a dog custody case after the complaint had been filed. Mr. Duckler had to file a revision immediately (due to the poor quality of the original), and he did so in a very timely manner. Now it is a matter of waiting for a hearing--after a 30-day extension. I'm sure he will be prepared and effective.

Based on his previous experience with case law, he pursued an alternate angle in an attempt to obtain the best result.

My MVA case was difficult and he went above and beyond to get the best possible result for me, and was honest about picking my battles. He was extremely validating when the legal system itself (inevitably) doubted my struggles.

When I got into my car accident, I was in a very intense transitional period. I had just moved back to Portland, staying in an Airbnb, and was on my way to interview for my dream job. I’d lovingly washed my car the day before and was entirely focused on getting there on-time and safely. Yet, there is only so much over which one has control while driving, and I was rear-ended by TWO cars in morning traffic. As soon as I felt the two impacts, one after the other and the second sending me into the car in front of me, I knew I was embroiled in a true ordeal. This stressful chapter of my life became barely manageable as the third-degree whiplash set in over the next few weeks, and I will forever marvel at my good fortune that my chiropractor referred me to Ben. I felt immediately reassured that I only had to focus on HEALING and settling into my new home and job, while Ben and Heather assumed all the work of advocating for me to two insurance companies and processing my case. They regularly checked in, so I always felt connected and deeply supported, and since my injuries and life circumstances demanded so much of my attention, it was absolutely invaluable to feel comfortable with disconnecting from my case. I even let myself forget details of the process, and Ben and Heather kindly and patiently answered my redundant questions. It was an accident I would obviously never ask for, and I am _so grateful_ that it came with the gift of an incredible legal experience at Cox Law.

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:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. 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.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
