How do you choose a lawyer to represent you? You obviously want an attorney knowledgeable about the law and an attorney with whom you feel comfortable. A "comfortable" attorney is a "people person", has a pleasant personality, and enjoys discussing the ins and outs of your case. One that keeps you informed about every aspect of your case, including costs, cares about your thoughts and advice, can explain things on a way that anyone can understand, and is able to tell you, up front and realistically, his or her thoughts about your case.
I am, now, semi-retired and I only take a limited number of cases. However, this year I am celebrating my 50th year as an attorney. With that in mind, let me tell you a little bit about
myself.
I decided I wanted to be a lawyer in 1953, and in the next seven years accomplished that goal, graduating in accounting in 1957, being commissioned in the United States Air Force in ROTC (where my ranking was #1 in the class) and then in 1960 graduating from the University of Oregon Law School (where I was ranked #2 in the class) before passing the Bar.
In August of 1960 I went to work in the tax department of Haskins & Sells, a national accounting firm. In October of the same year, I went into the Air Force where I was a JAG officer for three years, being discharged as a Captain.
From October of 1963 on I decided to work for myself, instead of a big firm, and over the years developed a focus on personal injury and product liability cases, as well as medical and legal malpractice cases. I have tried all kinds of cases in my 50 years as a lawyer. At this point in my life I have decided that the law has given me a lot.
With four children and six grandchildren, I have been so blessed in this life and have been able to accomplish many things. However, at this stage of my life, I discover that I am retirement-challenged. I've struggled at doing nothing constructive. So with the help of my wife Theresa, as my assistant, I am back working - hopefully helping good people like you.
The lawyer rating agency, Martindale Hubble, has rated me AV which is the highest rating given lawyers.
Give me a call.
