I highly recommend Jeff and JJ Gonzales. When my husband was facing deportation I went to several…read moreother attorneys who told me they would not take the case, or that I needed to wait 10 years before I could begin the application process. Thankfully though I found Jeff who agreed to take the case, charged a reasonable price, and got started right away. He was honest and upfront and explained that it was a difficult case, but that he was confident he could get my husband home. He never sugarcoated the situation, but was compassionate, professional and efficient. He was extremely well informed on the ever-changing laws and procedures, and he gladly answered all of my questions along the way. I never felt like a number on a file, but rather every time I called Jeff and JJ knew me by name, knew what was going on with my case, and treated me with courtesy and respect. After 5 years Jeff, JJ, and the rest of their professional team finally got my husband home. It was such a wonderful victory and I have them to thank for it. Everyone knows the immigration process is tedious, confusing, and frustrating, but Jeff and his team make it possible. They really are the best of the best!!

I worked with Ben Stoller at Slinde Nelson to set up my LLC…read more Ben used to work as a graphic designer, and he was very knowledgeable and helpful when I formed an LLC and had him review my standard client contracts. He legally clarified the language in my contracts without turning them into super verbose mumbo-jumbo (which both my clients and I are very happy about). Also, since he has experience on the other side of the lawyering table, he is very clear about when he is/isn't billing and absolutely refuses to sneakily charge for brief phone calls and emails. His attitude is along the lines of "there will be plenty of time for me to make money off you as your business grows", which I think is the perfect attitude for my lawyer to have---he wants to be in it with me for the long haul rather than just a few overpriced, unproductive meetings. Ben works with a lot of small businesses and start ups, and he was adamant that I provide him with some promotional material about my information design company so he could pass it along to some of his other clients. I've already referred him to friends of mine who are looking to get their businesses in legal order.

I contacted Phil Nelson in the afternoon and got an initial consultation that day. The initial…read moreconsultation was excellent - I am so glad we found him. I had a tight deadline and he hit it! What I liked most of all was his expertise in the matter reviewed, constant communication, leaving me with the feeling that he had my back as well as the insightful advice that he provided. That guidance was invaluable and much appreciated. If you need an attorney who will back you up when legal matters and related concerns come into your life, Phil is the person to call.

This lawyer team is awesome possum, !!!!!! When I say…read moreawesome possum, I say that with upmost respect because anything is possible with him. "I cannot recommend my lawyer highly enough! From the beginning, he truly listened to me and believed in my case. His confidence and dedication were evident as he took on every challenge with resilience. Even when others doubted our success, he never backed down and fought tirelessly on my behalf. His expertise and unwavering support made all the difference, and I am incredibly grateful for his outstanding work."

My case was a long complicated nuanced one that required a lot of work. I had tried to explain it…read moreto other attorneys who just thought it was too much. Mr Rosenthal heard me out, and thought there was a roadmap to my case. From the moment we decided to work together he was accessible and dove into my case with an attention to detail that I seldom have seen among attorneys (and my mother was a law librarian!). He knew every issue that was important to me, we discussed objectives and possible outcomes and we were always clear on what value certain things could bring to our case (depositions, mediation, etc) and their costs so there was never a surprise. Mr. Rosenthal was concerned for my well being and I felt like he truly represented ME, my principles, and by the end I trusted he knew every detail of my case from my standpoint and perspective, that I trusted him completely. That was really important when going against opposing counsel who lacked the depth of knowledge Ben had. When we won a six figure settlement I was happy to have chosen Ben Rosenthal as my attorney; and you know what?- the relationship was so great- we still check in with one another from time to time. Having used attorneys in the past, I can say that there are attorneys that only see the case and not 'you'. Ben Rosenthal saw 'me' and was able to see 'the whole picture' of my case through 'my eyes' I wholeheartedly recommend Ben Rosenthal, the best attorney for an employment related matter in Portland, hands down!

I hired Attorney Ben to help me get money owed to me by a public entity (I don't wish to name them…read morepublicly) and he sent out a perfectly written demand letter which received an immediate response. Hopefully, that is all I needed in order to get paid for the monies owed. I appreciate that Attorney Ben was able to assist in the matter I needed help and I do recommend his services. He is direct and will tell you exactly what he thinks/feels without sugar coating it so I appreciate the modicum he delivers.

This is regarding one of their attorneys-Jeffrey Frasier!…read moreWhen my husband first contacted Jeff Frasier about our situation, Jeff told us that "we have a strong case." Based on the information and confidence he provided during that initial phone call, we decided to move forward with him. Unfortunately, we were led on for nearly two years before going to trial. Throughout that time, Jeff repeatedly told us that we would "get something" from the case. He continued contacting us by phone and email asking for additional information about the situation, and we continued being billed for his time. Nearly a year after the lawsuit began, we met with him once to go over what to expect with the arbitration process. As someone with no prior experience suing anyone or dealing with attorneys, I relied heavily on my attorney to properly prepare and guide us. Unfortunately, that meeting left me with even more questions and did not make me feel prepared for what was ahead. Jeff then sent a junior attorney to handle the arbitration. In our experience, she appeared inexperienced and unprofessional. She essentially sat in the room with us during the arbitration, and we were billed for her time and presence, which was very concerning to us. After nearly two years of legal bills, we finally went to trial. Unfortunately, Jeff did not appear prepared or knowledgeable about our case. During the trial, he stumbled through his presentation and became frustrated. At one point, the judge even told him that he was repeating himself. On the second day of trial, the judge issued a directed verdict, meaning the judge ruled in favor of the other side because our side had not presented enough evidence to support our claim. The outcome was extremely devastating, especially after being told at the beginning that we had a "strong case." After nearly two years, substantial legal fees, stress, and time invested in this case, we were left feeling that we had not received the preparation, guidance, or representation we expected from our attorney. In the end, we walked away with absolutely nothing--except huge legal bills. I am sharing our experience because potential clients deserve to hear what our experience was like before deciding whether to hire Jeff Frasier. Based on our experience, we do not recommend him.

The other driver had admitted culpability. There was no question. Now we needed some compensation for what my daughter and I were enduring. Then, one week before we were supposed to go to court, Levine said they were unwilling to go to court with me, said they couldn't win the case and were unwilling to try. What?! Not to mention, he hadn't instructed me well on what kind of things I make sure to get - such as specific imaging to prove my daughter's injuries - and left me with no time to get another lawyer. My daughter endured long term issues due to the accident (which was no fault of my own) with no compensation. I ended getting clear imaging that proved her injuries and had to pay out of pocket thousands for her treatment. Not cool!

Disappointed. I went to Chris for assistance with a serious financial issue concerning debt and…read morethe IRS. Had my initial consultation and he said he could help. Retained Chris. The bankruptcy process was long and arduous. Not a great deal of communication between us during to process. We started it in March and in July our paperwork was filed with the court. Okay so far, nothing really bad going on. Except, it was revealed to me that he himself was in bankruptcy for very much the same reason we were. That was until we had our initial hearing with the bankruptcy court. My debt was over the debt ceiling for the State of Oregon. Isn't this something that a bankruptcy attorney should know? Of course it is. After the hearing, our calls were not taken and only an email showed up. Need to research the problem. That is it. Meeting with him a week later, it was explained that he knew the debt ceiling and was hoping that the bankruptcy trustee would overlook the amount of debt I had since he slid another client through who exceeded the debt ceiling. My case was nothing but a gamble for him. He was rolling the dice with my financial future, my house and my life. I was then told after liens we placed on my house to come back and we could move forward. Fast forward. Contacted Chris. Provided a lien report for my home and. my current pay information. Weeks went by. Nothing. Followed up. Was told that he had not been able to get to it. Followed up again and this time, was kicked to the curb. Was told that he wouldn't be able to get to me for several weeks and that he was swamped with other work. I had hoped that after the massive fuck up with the filing of my case and the debit ceiling we ran into that our case might have gotten a little more attention. I now have a bankruptcy on my credit, having to. try to recover from the devastating credit advice, and still have issues with the IRS and liens on my house and no relief to show for it. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY.

I would recommend anyone who is considering a Bk to see him, he will not pressure you and is very good at what he does. The level of attention he provides is also phenomenal.
