** I was Threatened by Troy after posting this review I had a horrible experience with this attorney and this is my opinion of his service and what happened to me dealing with him, i have wittnesses to verify my comments & opinions of my dealings with Troy, I do not RECCOMEND him but to each his own** Worst attorney ever because of his neglect in my case I got an eviction, he is not professional he missed our first appointment, does not return calls and does not listen, was texting in our meeting & answering calls. He is very Unorganized, and arrogant. Poor people skills.. I Don't RECCOMEND Troy to anyone..

I couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful service this firm has provided!. Troy was amazing on listening to my case and helping solve my issue with a past landlord. I highly recommend anyone to go visit them for consultations!

My former landlord tried to charge me a bunch of illegal fees from my security deposit as well as nearly $700 worth of cleaning charges for cleaning that wasn't done for messes which weren't there to begin with, and all out of some irrational grudge against me. One demand letter from Troy letting her know exactly how she'd screwed up was enough to change her mind, or if not to change her mind, at least to pay back what she owed me and then some. Troy was very amicable, concise, and knowledgeable - it's a good thing he's one of the good guys.

Amazing Person. He told me if I got a ticket for running a relight. It's not worth it to get him. He said just go to court and request school. Looks like a guy that wants to help people, not take your money!!! He could have said he will help me best as he could, and taken my money. BUT he was honest about it!!! Thank you again!

Troy was very professional, personable, efficient and thorough. He was a pleasure to work with! I also respect his desire to uphold the laws that protect the rights of renters from being mistreated and unlawfully displaced by their landlords. To anyone that is in need of legal assistance concerning their rights as renters, I highly recommend seeking Troy's counsel.

He was late to both meetings we had with him and he forgot about my very first meeting which wasted my time.

I recently moved to Portland and ended up in an unfortunate situation with a crazy, narcissistic landlord who is a retired judge and attorney and who used his law background to bully me, push me around, and threaten me with an enormous law suit. Troy was very easy to work with and great at helping me to understand my complex legal situation and bring it to a peaceful resolution. I highly recommend Troy and Portland Defender. His rates are reasonable and he put in some extra time for me. All communications were clear and timely. I had never had to hire a lawyer before, and I was a little intimidated by the whole situation, but Troy made the whole thing much less stressful for me. Lawyers get a bad rap, but Troy is truly a good guy you can trust. And he will fight hard for you!

Troy is on it; really great to work with. He is on your side, and able to clarify and support in difficult situations. It is always worth it to reach out to him. I highly recommend it. He guided me through a tricky acquisition (I was living in a building that was sold, and the new owners/management decided to empty the units to rebuild). Troy checked in on every aspect to make sure I was being treated fairly, and within the law. As soon as that was not the case, he was quick to contact the management and I received a settlement.

Troy and team were wonderful in recouping costs from a landlord dispute that I had last fall. I rented a unit from RMS property management that wasn't heated (lack of heat was not disclosed before signing the lease). Troy worked directly with the management company to obtain a sizable settlement. Throughout the process he kept me informed of settlement progress via email. I would highly recommend Portland Defenders for landlord deputes. They were extremely professional and experienced. I appreciated how quick and easy they made this entire process.

This was my first experience with a lawyer. Troy made me feel totally understood and extremely confident that I was in the right hands. He is a super friendly guy with a positive energy. I found myself in a pretty bad situation with a landlord that took advantage of my money/sanity. Troy succeeded in our case, we won and now I'm happily waiting on my check in the mail! Fingers crossed I don't have too, but I would use Troy again in a heartbeat. Hands down the best.
