After months of stressing over our high interest credit card debt, my husband and I had little hope when we first walked into Kent's office. Within 10 minutes, he helped me feel like there was hope in our future. He understood my desire to want to keep our lovely home and worked with us through Chapter 13 to do just that. We now have affordable monthly payments and are looking forward to 4 years from now when we have paid our bankruptcy and are in the clear. He was always available to answer questions and advise us, and I never felt ashamed or embarrassed to work with him. I would not hesitate a second to work with him again, though hopefully it will be for other legal matters.

Kent has provided a high level of legal expertise to a very complex (and emotional) issue. He has been an integral part of my education and strategy for dealing with a foreclosure. His insight, networking and direct speaking has created progress I hadn't thought possible. Kent is passionate about exploring all options and understanding the latest legislation on this very volatile and rapidly evolving issue. I was pleased to serve on Senator Merkley's Mortgage and Foreclosure Summit with Kent to share issues homeowners face in dealing with financial institutions. As more homeowners need to communicate with banks to review interest rates and other aspects of negotiating a workout that serves bank, family and community, I look to Kent to be a leader in this arena. He is a trusted advisor and, though I don't yet know the outcome of my foreclosure, I highly recommend him.

Late in 2007 my wife and I were facing foreclosure on our home. We were eleven payments, nearly $30,000 in arrears on the mortgage and property taxes. We were paying nearly 12% interest, seven years into a thirty year adjustable rate mortgage. We owed three years of property taxes. Things looked bleak, to say the least. Since I operated a business from my home even my business was in danger of being shut down. Mr. Anderson saved our home and our business by renegotiating a flat-rate mortgage for us and shaving off nearly 4 points from what we were paying on the adjustable rate. He also negotiated payment of our property tax arrears with the mortgage company. Mr. Anderson allowed us to make our payments for his invaluable help on a very fair schedule. It is literally true that Mr. Anderson saved us and our three children from catastrophe. If a person never needs help like this then consider yourself among the fortunate, but if a person ever DOES need help like this, then also consider yourself fortunate that there are exceptional people on this earth like Mr. Anderson who have the experience, the character and the genuine concern for the welfare of others to help us so much when we need help so badly. I'm sure Mr. Anderson knows who I am from my comments here and I give my permission to Mr. Anderson to allow anyone to contact me if they would like to hear these same comments from me in person. I have enduring gratitude for what he did for us and have no hesitation at all to express this to anyone who feels they would like to describe my gratitude for Mr. Anderson's help in person.

I have been a client for many years (over 20). Early on, he did a bankruptcy (sorry!) for me, and since has done wills, business law, etc. -- a whole variety of things. One of the good things about him is that, while he has some of the best technical expertise in the fields of taxes and bankruptcy, he knows about the rest of the law, too, so he's not just a one-trick pony. You don't have to go and find a new lawyer every time you have something that's different.

Mr. Anderson helped us through our Chapter 13 bankruptcy with the utmost professionalism and honest empathetic support. Throughout the entire process, we felt we were in good hands.
