I was urgently in need of good legal advice about exorbitant fees that my son's landlord billed him (and me, as his guarantor). I contacted Troy and he responded quickly. He impressed me with his clear communication and knowledge of tenant law. He was able to negotiate a very sizable refund of the unlawful fees that I had been pressured to pay the management company. Well done! I highly recommend Portland Defender.

I've been in a complicated situation with my landlord and other tenants in the house I'm living in. The stress of the situation was out of control. With only a one hour conversation with Troy, he helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. He was very honest and told me that with my situation, it would be a waste of my money to hire him at the point. However, he gave me steps on what I need to do on my own to put myself in a position where I wouldn't be compromised, and it worked. He was very knowledgeable which gave me confidence that my situation would be resolved. I'm very grateful that he was recommended to me and I would highly recommend him in return.

I contact Troy with a question regarding terminating my fixed term lease early. Troy was helpful and responded promptly with the answer to my question. His answer was also verified by another attorney I spoke with. He was very helpful and did not charge an outrageous and excessive fee just to respond to an email. (I had other attorneys who were charging over $300 dollars before they even responded to my email.) In the end I would highly recommend working with Portland Defender and Troy!

WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND and helped me extremely quickly with an escalading situation between my landlords and I. He is very efficient in resolution! Would highly recommend.

Troy was an amazing help to us when we were being threatened by former landlords for damages caused prior to our tenancy. Through his help we were able to get the bill down to 1/6th of the original value, and more importantly he removed a significant amount of stress from our lives. We cannot thank him enough!

Really knowledgeable and professional. Gave us all the knowledge we needed to figure out how to pursue our situation. Would definitely recommend!!!

Hear their great they never call me back

Troy Pickard of Portland Defender is a diamond in the rough. He has a remarkable ability to restore calm with his depth of knowledge of the law and compassionate approach. He is an invaluable asset to the community with his professionalism and refreshing affability. Will recommend always.

Troy (Portland Defender) came highly recommend by the office of one of Portland's City Commissioners and I found his legal services to be invaluable. His communication was prompt, his guidance easy to understand, and, perhaps most importantly, his demeanor was both professional and compassionate. I hope no one finds themselves in a dispute with a bad (or law-breaking) landlord, but, if you do, Troy is a top-notch attorney and an invaluable resource to our area's tenants.

My experience with Troy was phenomenal! He was professional and understanding. He got exactly what I needed done; done.. without any hesitation. He was responsive quickly and always communicated well. I would highly recommend Troy and I know if there’s anything in the future I need help with that he can help me with, he’s my guy!
