Portland Personal Injury Attorney
Oregon Trial Attorneys
A lot of Portland attorneys refer to themselves as an Oregon trial attorney, but very few are.
Unfortunately, the Oregon State Bar does not police lawyers to make sure that if you advertise yourself as an Oregon trial attorney, you really try cases.
Why is it important that someone be known as an Oregon trial attorney versus an Oregon settlement attorney?
Portland is a small town and a small legal community.
Insurance companies know who the Portland personal injury attorneys are who are also trial attorneys. Insurance companies tend to pay the clients of known Portland trial attorneys better than clients of attorneys who tend to not go to trial.
Unfortunately, many injured people are taken advantage of by attorneys who hold themselves out to be Oregon trial attorneys, but never try case and never get good verdicts. It is dishonest and should not be allowed. In order to be an Oregon personal injury attorney, you need to be an Oregon trial attorney.
How can an injured person be sure that they are hiring an attorney who is qualified to handle their Oregon personal injury case?
You need to ask every attorney you talk to about how many cases they have tried and what their results have been.
An attorney can buy their way into legal associations and law magazines, but the only way to get good rial verdicts is through skill and hard work.
I have worked very hard to get good at trying cases. It did not come easy. I do everything I can to get better. Even though I have tried over 125 jury trials, I still go to every class I can that I think will make me better. I cannot guarantee what a jury will do, but I can guarantee you that I won’t back down.
If I take your personal injury case, the insurance company knows they have to pay a fair amount or be ready for a fight.
If you have been inured please give me a call so we can discuss your options and rights.
