About
About eighty% of my exercise is helping wronged consumers get over companies that have cheated them. The relaxation is a combination of quit-of-lifestyles and property making plans for elders, salary and hour claims for personnel, and advising or serving nonprofits as out of doors recommend or in providing nonprofit boards with education to keep away from problems. I don t stray outdoor those primary regions much -- as an example, I don t take private damage cases, automobile crashes, or any circle of relatives or criminal law cases. But if the problem is in any other case within Oregon civil regulation, I m happy to be consulted and to help out or offer referrals. At this point in my practice, the bulk of my instances come from referrals, which I greatly fee. As an engineer earlier than turning into an attorney, I discovered to apply a frugal problem-solving approach. In my practice, which means emphasis on solving the consumer s trouble first, as opposed to defaulting to a given felony technique. If I can clear up a consumer s problem with a letter as opposed to a lawsuit, I m happy to try this. › ›
