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.

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!

Troy did an excellent job. Held our landlord to account for neglecting the property and refusing to deal with a rodent infestation for 2 years that was there before we moved in. In the end, Troy was able to get a sizable settlement without going to court. We would highly recommend Portland Defender and Troy.

Excellent attorney!! Troy Picked totally got me into an apartment that refused to rent to me due to legal issues and after talking with CAT they referred me to him and he quickly fixed the problem. If you are a person who has barriers to housing that you feel are keeping you homeless I recommend him. Now I'm a tenant of the apartment and very happy. Jessica
