Biography

I offer one-on-one service, and I limit my case load so that I can focus on you and your case.

I am an experienced, aggressive trial lawyer who has tried over 140 jury trials. I have 30 years of courtroom experience. As of November of 2024 I have been practicing personal injury law for 22 years.

Insurance companies have attorneys and adjusters whose goal is to pay you as little as they can.

You need an Oregon personal injury attorney to fight for you. I am dedicated to helping your recover as much money as possible under the law.

Once I take your case, you can stop worrying about dealing with the insurance companies and focus on recovering. I take care of all of the paperwork, phone calls, and negotiations, so you can get on with your life.

Fees
  • Free Consultation
  • Contingent Fees
    Filing a lawsuit, paying court costs and expert witness fees can be very expensive. Every year I spend thousands of dollars in litigation costs. I know that most people cannot afford these costs up front, so I forward these costs up front in every case I take. Spending a few thousand dollars on a good expert witness can make the difference between getting thousands of dollars and getting nothing for your personal injury claim. Before you hire a lawyer, make sure that they are willing to forward the money to adequately pursue your personal injury case. Otherwise, you may be forced into taking a minimal settlement if you cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars to pursue your personal injury claim.
  • Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
    I do not charge you fees for consultations, opening your file, copies, long distance, etc. Before you hire a lawyer, make sure you find out what they will be charging you, as these hidden fees can add up.

I put on classes to teach other lawyers how to better serve injured Oregonians. I do not get paid for teaching and putting on these classes. I do it because it is the right thing to do and I want to try and help other lawyers do a better job in helping their clients.
