Lawsuits can be expensive.
In every case, I advance all costs associated with pursuing your case and I do not ask you for a penny until we recover from the other side.
If I take a case, I believe in it.
I am willing to invest as much time, energy, and money as it takes to make sure my client has a good result.

PRACTICE AREAS
Personal Injury Law
Exclusively dedicated to practicing personal injury law.
Bicycle Attorney
Hire an attorney who is also a cyclist. I am a former road and cyclocross racer and current bicycle commuter. I raced for the Presto Velo team, which is now the BicycleAttorney.com cycling team and I am their main cash sponsor.
Motorcycle Attorney
Hire an Oregon motorcycle accident attorney who rides. I have ridden street, track, motocross, and off road. I have ridden thousands of miles on my street bike and know the dangers that motorcyclists face every time they get on a bike. In my experience, most motorcycle riders are very safe and cautious, as our life is on the line if we are not.
Boating Attorney
I hold a United States Coast Guard Captain's 100 Ton License and have fished both commercially and for sport. I am very familiar with the rules of the road for boating and boating laws that apply to boating accidents. Boating accidents can be harder to figure out, but my 40 years on the water and my professional training as a captain give me a leg up over most lawyers.
Pedestrian Accident
Expert personal injury attorney when it comes to pedestrians hit by cars while walking or crossing streets in or not in a crosswalk. Even if you were not in a crosswalk when you were hit by a car as a pedestrian, in Oregon, there is an implied crosswalk at every corner with a stop sign.
