Last year my daughter had problem not being able to pay the whole apartment lease period because she graduated months earlier and could not find sub-lease due to Covid-19 pandemic. Troy solved the problem for us wisely and saved us thousands of dollars at unexpected low consultant fee. Troy is generous and don’t charge nickle and dime. We really appreciate and are grateful to him.

Troy is a fantastic lawyer! He did a wonderful job of explaining my case to me and fighting for what I deserved. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

I'm Elie Linstant. Back in April 2019, a property manager kicked me out and collected money against me. Most of these people don't respect your right as a tenant. And as a tenant you don't the laws, and always busy at work and family. Easy for them to always abuse your right. Someone referred to Troy Pickard. I'm telling you guys the truth. I'm Haitian, after knowing that there was no hope, my hope was just to pay about 4700 to them. But Troy get my case and solved it. He was a savior for me. Now I don't owed no money to that manager and they paid me for not respected the law or my right. I will refer anyone to Him. Yes he's good. And for me he is the best. If you have a problem with any landlord. Trust him and you will have the best results than ever. With Troy is peace in mind. Thank Mr Troy. You're the best

Over the past eight years I have referred a bevy of people to Portland Defender and have had nothing but positive feedback. Troy does a great job handling issues and being straight with individual needs of a case. I don't take referrals lightly and will continue to send people their way as I have found few firms that do a better job caring for clients.

Troy provided a paid 1-hour consultation regarding tenant - landlord law and a squatter issue about 2 months ago. I followed up with him a few weeks later to do the legal work pursuing the squatters. He emailed me back that he'd be ready to do the work and that he needed for me to sign a retainer & deposit funds. The retainer doc & the payment information never arrived. He's dropped off the face of this planet. He can't be reached via phone or email. Even his assistant does not return any phone calls. I was forced to identify another attorney to represent me in this matter and start over again. Unfortunately, Portland Defender is very unprofessional and unresponsive. I cannot recommend this law firm.

I highly recommend The Portland Defender law firm. Troy was very professional, very attentive, caring, and quick to respond to Every question I had. He explained my case in layman terms, and told me the next steps.This is the firm to handle difficult Landlords they stand with you and won’t be pushed around.

Can confirm the negative reviews are true and most of these similar-looking reviews are likely fake: This office only takes low hanging fruit cases. They charged for a consultation then never returned calls. Supreme waste of money, had to go with someone else. I'm not sure who "the man" they claim to be "sticking it to" but they only target small landlords who messed up, creating easy cases for them and raking in cash off of the little people... while leaving us normal people to fend for ourselves with big companies. Shameful behavior. Avoid!

Troy was very nice to help out in a time of many questions. Thanks Troy.

Rude

I was lost n confussed. My apartment had so much water damage that kept me from living a healthy lifestyle. Went into a depression. And reached out for help. I found Troy. And he held my hand and took over. I am so greatful for his help. . I can smile again!! Life is good..

Troy was an invaluable resource when it came to protecting my rights. His attention to detail and knowledge of laws are unsurpassed. I would highly recommend him!
