If you have any further questions, please contact us via email or call (503) 228-7385.
Will I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Nearly all cases are settled, but we will go to trial rather than settle for unfair compensation.
Can I afford your services - what are your fees?
Unless you win or settle, there are no fees. Our fees are based on a percentage of the total recovery on your case.
What costs will I incur?
Please understand that bar regulations require the client to pay the expenses of the litigation. But our firm will advance all costs and will be reimbursed by you at the end of the case from your recovery.
If another lawyer has referred me to you, does that mean my case is going to cost me more money?
No. Many of our clients are referred to us by other lawyers and any referral fee to those lawyers will be paid out of our attorney's fees. You will be not be required to pay additional money.
How long will this process take?
The answer depends on the case. Most cases in Oregon are completed (unless there is an appeal or other delay) within 15 months of the case being filed in court. Multnomah County, Oregon has one of the fastest dockets in the country.
Will you take my case?
We can only accept cases with merit that we believe we can win. Sometimes the merit of a case can be determined almost immediately. In other instances, we need additional time, effort, and investigation to evaluate your case. Our firm will give you our honest opinion on the merit of your case.
I've been hurt in an accident and I want to file a claim for my injuries. What's the first thing I should do?

- Take pictures of your injuries, and document the scene and any physical damage to your vehicle or property.
- Do not discuss the case or your injuries with any insurance representatives until you know your rights.
- Promptly contact our firm for a consultation.
