Trustworthy
We work hard to earn the trust of every client. We do that by treating every client like we’d want to be treated if we needed a lawyer. This requires doing all the hard work necessary to get a case ready, giving our honest assessment of the case, pushing for a fair settlement and, if negotiations fail, taking the case to trial. In the end our credibility is all that really matters. We are proud of the fact that many of our clients have taken the time to review us online. Read our reviews on sites like Google and Yelp.
Experienced
For the past 14 years, Chad has either been in trial, preparing for trial, or negotiating the resolution of cases. He has tried over 100 cases and resolved hundreds more. When your case is important, you need to have a lawyer who is comfortable in the courtroom. If negotiations fail, your case shouldn’t be your lawyer’s first trial. You need a lawyer who has won cases similar to yours.
Respected
Chad has earned an AV Preeminent grade from Martindale Hubbell – the highest grade available for ethical standing and legal ability. This is based on peer reviews by other lawyers and judges. He is an Oregon Super Lawyer. He is frequently consulted by other Portland personal injury lawyers on their cases.
Honest
When you are looking for a lawyer, honesty should be a priority. Chad prides himself on being trusted both in the legal community and in his relationship with his clients. He has achieved the highest ethics grade from Martindale Hubbell, established by a survey of lawyers in the community. You can any Oregon lawyer’s disciplinary history by going to www.osbar.org/members. Honesty also means having a fair fee agreement. Does the lawyer take his/her fee from the amounts before or after liens are paid? This can make a really big difference depending on the case. Call Chad and he can explain why this should matter to you.
Dedicated
All Chad does is personal injury work. He is passionate about his clients and their cases. He frequently works and consults with some of the top personal injury attorneys in the country. Some lawyers handle any type of case that comes through their door. A case load like that prevents many from ever becoming an expert in any one case type. When your case is important, you should put it in the hands of someone who specializes in cases just like yours.
