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.

When I was in foster care she was my voice and she was there for me when she didn't have to be. She took me to restaurants to have coffee and see how I was doing. I could call her to ask legal questions. She is just a great person.

I hired Tom after a referral. The window of opportunity to file my personal injury and property claim from a vehicle accident was near. Tom was able to gather all of the details in my case in time to file and present the evidence. He was able to get me a just settlement after the insurance claim was initially denied. Tom and his team took care of everything and continually reassured me of my standing in the case. I am grateful for the work that was done and ultimately that we prevailed. I definitely recommend his service.

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 and 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

We traveled from Utah for a two week bicycling vacation in Oregon. Our first ride, first hour we were hit by an RV mirror it shattered my left humerus and caused my wife to crash too with numerous injuries. Upon returning home a friend knew this firm and reputation for handling bike v auto accidents. We researched this law firm and on our first phone call late on a Friday afternoon, Jim Coon took the time to explain Oregon bike (friendly) law; some legislated by their firm, and how his firm could help us through the insurance claim - alleviating our concerns for the claim so we could focus on healing (year long process). The claim involved two insurance companies and a mountain of medical which his staff assisted in managing throughout the nearly two year process. They were able to bring about the settlement we were expecting and manage our fiduciary responsibilities in the closure of the case. Sadly we never personally met our team because they deserve a HUGE hug from these Utahan’s. Lyle & Gladys

I don't have the words to adequately describe my level of respect and gratitude for Jacqueline. She took on our case, which was international, enormous, and faced all kinds of barriers, with utmost confidence and maintained her positive attitude throughout the entire process. She deeply cares for her clients, is dedicated to fighting for justice, and does so with compassion and integrity. She made a very scary process feel so much easier, every step of the way. Jacqueline possesses a great deal of empathy, and is able to really put her clients at ease. I am proud to be a former client of hers, and now a lifelong friend. I highly recommend Jacqueline, without any reservations at all.

I had telephoned several attorneys regarding my situation. None of them viewed my case as I did; there was something wrong with the timing of a work-related injury claim
and my employment being terminated.
Then, someone referred me to Christopher Slater.
I was instantly impressed with his honesty, knowledge of the law, and how well informed he was of the particular requirements for the industry in which I was employed.
He expressed confidence, patience, and the value of timing with regards to filing my complaint with the proper court.
Christopher's genuine concern regarding my current medical condition was a relief and he advised me to "take care of it first".
Christopher spent a great deal of time on the phone during the initial conference and everytime afterwards.
He was easy to talk with and always straightforward; often using metaphors to get his point across.
And always he made certain I had no questions at the end of all conversations.
I appreciated his mindfulness of my time and distance from his office.
Office meetings were kept to a bare minimum.
The discussions regarding plan of procedures, his work on a contingency basis, and the difference between costs and fees were done via phone or email.
He made sure I understood my responsibilities before, during, and after the process of filing a suit.
The defendent eventually offered a settlement following a decision made by the State of Oregon courts during discovery.
I met with Christopher and the adjudicator to negotiate.
It was apparent he is a plaintiff's lawyer, as he often referred to himself.
I am certain his ethics, values, and professionalism appear very well in a courtroom.
I have a great deal of respect for Christopher and highly recommend him to anyone with questions regarding employment and disablilities.

Chris represented me when I was in an accident. He was always available to answer my questions and concerns. The insurance adjuster was being very rude to me up until I hired Chris, then I never had to deal with that insurance a****** again. Chris took care of everything for me and even got the insurance to reimburse me for the crutches I had to rent.
I would advise anyone who needs help to call Chris.

My situation was diificult, took almost three years to deal with. When I got Kymber involved, she stayed on top of it and made everything happen for me. It took time, as any lawsuit does. But Kymber knows her stuff and makes things happen. In fact, I’ve spoken so highly of her, that a few friends have already asked for her number, as they know she will help them in the best way!!

Doctor Aaron Deshaw took my case when it was at its most hopeless. As a brain injury survivor himself, he was as kind and compassionate to someone with a brain injury as anyone could hope for. As a doctor, his knowledge and expertise were invaluable in navigating the complexities of a trial that depended on medical evidence. As an attorney, he's a ROCK STAR!(Sorry, did it again.) As an attorney, I believe his bravery (to go forward with a case that he was told was near hopeless), his brilliance, and his wisdom are unsurpassed in the legal field. His belief in me sustained me through a long, difficult, but ultimately triumphant journey. He never failed to return a phone call or e-mail, to keep me informed, or just reassure me that he understood when I was doing silly things brain injured people do. If you are unlucky enough to have suffered a brain injury, you would be lucky to have Doctor Aaron DeShaw as your lawyer. Delani Stephens

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.

Jason was wonderful to work with in every way. I felt supported, incredibly well-represented, and understood with regard to the details of my case. I had previously spoken with no less than a dozen other personal injury attorneys and went with Jason. In short, Jason knows the law, he is passionate about representing injured parties, and he is incredibly personable. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in search of solid representation.

I contacted Todd's office after another attorney turned down my case. On my very first call I was able to speak with Todd directly and was reassured when he agreed to take my case. His office went to work immediately, contacting my medical providers and doing a time consuming review of my medical records. We were up against a tough auto insurer but Todd stuck with It, refusing to cave in to their unreasonable settlement offers. He stayed in close contact with me until my case was resolved to my satisfaction.

I was cited for trespassing by Tri-Met and hired Mr. Blake to defend my case. Mr. Blake successfully had my ticket dismissed at trial and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the law -- so much so that the officer who had given the citation approached Mr. Blake after the conclusion of trial for advice. I found Mr. Blake to be honest, straightforward, and helpful in dealing with my case. I felt comfortable throughout the process even though this was my first experience with the legal system. I recommend him highly!

She also advised me on how to protect my client's rights as we went through everything with a fine toothed comb. I highly recommend her! She is professional, helpful and personable. You can really tell she cares about her clients.

Steve was recommended to me by a co-worker after my car accident. We were at a stand still with the other drivers insurance and Steve took over handling the case in a very professional manner and kept us updated thru the whole process. What started out as a very stressful situation became almost pleasant while he handled everything for us. I have recommended him to others since our case.

He is always professional, easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and does a fantastic job in and out of the court room. His passion and concern for his clients really shows. I can't give enough high praise. He is a wonderful person as well as a determined and seasoned litigator.

I went to Sarah after being in a car accident. I originally wasn't planning on seeing a lawyer, but after dealing with the other drivers insurance company, I knew it was necessary. Through the whole process Sarah was ALWAYS available and ALWAYS kept me informed on what was happening! In the end, Sarah was able to negotiate almost 4 times more than what the other insurance company originally offered me. She really made this experience painless!

Kyle represented me on some criminal charges. He has a persistent and calming demeanor that played excellently with jury and with me as well. Kyle listened well, always explained the sometimes arcane law processes and also often took suggestions or recommendations from me. He was also consistently calm and reassuring during the stressful moments in the courtroom and before the trial. He handled the jury selection admirably and won acquittals on three of the four charges that I was facing--including the most serious of the four. The outcome was a complete victory and a definite success. Kyle was a true professional and I would recommend his services and abilities without reservations to anyone.

Ted Lew has been a professional, punctual, and reliable workers compensation attorney. After receiving a ton of letters from SAIF that I didn’t understand, I sought out legal assistance. The Oregon state Barr referred me to Ted. He has made it his mission to provide thorough explanations throughout the entire process thus far. While my case is still ongoing, I am satisfied with the assistance provided by Ted and his assistant Lily.

While riding a bicycle I was hit from behind by a pickup truck going 55mph. I was badly hurt and spent five days in a Salem hospital. It took many months for me to recover.
Aaron Reichenberger, from the Rosenbaum Law Group, was the person who negotiated the settlement for me with the insurance company whose driver hit me. Aaron is the best of the best. I highly recommend Aaron Reichenberger.

I was on a Jury for a complex case in which Mr. Callahan was the Defense Counsel. It would have been easy for him to just go through the motions of defending this client as the prosecution had an incredibly strong case. Mr. Callahan presented his client's story through witnesses with a carefully crafted approach and a human touch. He won, against the odds. I was so proud of him...and of the jury's difficult decision. I would highly recommend him...and if ever needed, would hire him without hesitation.

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.
