Trusted Personal Injury & Civil Rights Attorney in Portland
Since establishing my practice in 2001, I have dedicated myself to advocating for individuals harmed by negligence or systemic injustice. With over 29 years of experience in Oregon and 18 years in Washington, my focus remains on personal injury, medical malpractice, civil rights violations, and workers' compensation third-party claims. I approach each case with a client-centered philosophy, prioritizing individualized attention and accountability for institutions that cause harm. My contingency fee structure ensures access to justice without financial risk, as I only earn fees when clients receive compensation.Having successfully navigated complex litigation against powerful entities, I bring both courtroom experience and a commitment to ethical representation. My practice reflects a deep understanding of insurance tactics and medical complexities, developed through handling hundreds of cases over decades. I strive to empower clients through transparent communication while maintaining rigorous legal standards. This balance of advocacy and professionalism has defined my career since first being licensed in 1991.
