Questions
Do I need a personal injury attorney?
Hiring an attorney significantly increases compensation odds. 91% of represented clients receive payouts versus 51% unrepresented, with average net recovery $51,992 after fees.
How much does hiring an attorney cost?
We work on contingency fees - no payment unless we recover compensation. No upfront costs, hourly fees, or payments until successful case resolution.
What is the difference between a will and trust?
Trusts avoid probate and allow incapacity planning. Wills require probate but are simpler. Both direct asset distribution but trusts offer more control and protection.
Can I evict a tenant for no cause?
Oregon law severely restricts no-cause evictions. Legal counsel is required before issuing any no-cause notice under current Oregon regulations.
What happens if I become incapacitated?
Proper planning with power of attorney and healthcare directives avoids court-appointed guardianship. We help establish legal frameworks for medical and financial decision-making.
How long does probate take?
Simple probate cases take 6-12 months. Complex cases with disputes or large estates may require 1-3 years. We streamline the process through efficient document preparation and court navigation.
