I hired Mr. Beck to navigate the process of a very serious legal issue that came up very suddenly. I was given his name from a top attorney in criminal law in the Portland area. I appreciated the free consultation with Mr. Beck before my decision to hire him. It was clear that his expertise in explaining the legal process, the team approach at Harris Velazquez Gibbons, and providing a strategy greatly reduced my anxiety. It then allowed me to focus my energies to help with the strategy. I highly recommend Mr. Beck for his exemplary professionalism, expertise, and efficiency as an attorney.

Pretty sure people that are calling in for an attorney are already feeling overwhelmed and desperate for help and to then have attitude is absolutely unacceptable.

I would recommend giving your finances to any other firm besides this one. I expect way better for people that are taking so much of my money.

This review is solely based of off the experience with follow up and initial conversation with…read moreintake to pursue a consultation with an attorney at this firm. After speaking with Kyle the office coordinator so called "Office Manager" KYLE last week about scheduling a consultation with one of the attorneys on a time sensitive issue I was told I would be contacted via email later that day with some dates and times available. With no response still as of today and several attempts to call in to try and schedule with no return calls back I can see why prior reviews with the same experience are apparent. More so I continued to try to make a consultation appointment yet again this morning and spoke with the receptionist who let me know KYLE was the only one who could schedule the consultation and he was unavailable. It wasn't until informed the receptionist of my frustration and experience with no follow up from KYLE and I wanted to speak with his higher up that he was instantly available. He reassured me he had emailed me yesterday from our first initial conversation a week a go and deemed himself that should have sufficed in lieu of not returning any calls prior that week with my time sensitive issue. After I let him know of his poorly conducted attempt to contact me back he then let me know non of the attorney's were available or could take my case. His exact words were "no one is available until after the new year". I understand completely that the firm has many cases as they came highly recommended but as a smaller firm it should not take over a week to get a response from a schedule coordinator to let a possible future client that all the attorney's are unavailable until after New Years. Really?? After calling KYLE on his lack there of his demeanor completely changed and I asked to be re routed to the front desk. Instead of being professional he asked why and why did I need to talk to the receptionist. I let him know that I wasn't going to continue the conversation with him and would like to speak with the front desk. This is when he informed me that he was the Office Manager and anything that needed to be left with the front desk he could be made aware of. Interesting how if you a not even a client but a prospective and that's how you are treated then how actual clients are treated. All in all I believe this was a way letting me know to dodge this firm like a bullet.

He needed a class in public speaking as he stuttered every time he opened his mouth. It was like that bad attorney on My Cousin Vinny. Other than that I had to watch the man make a career at picking pimples off his nose. That he was quite proficient in. He was so bad, he refused to represent me in one of the three cases which thank God he did. I acted as my attorney and won. Its comical now then it wasn't. Their actual offices speak for the group and the constant break outs speak of Mr. Green. Case Closed.

When it came time to call around for divorce attorneys, they all had a relatively common refrain:…read moreessentially, "abandon all hope and resign yourself to eternal suffering--you're ****ed." With the notable exception of Jessy from Hotley Law! When Jessy returned my call, she came PREPARED. Wanted all the details, listened extremely attentively, and laid out what the legal strategy, costs, benefits, etc were in proceeding. I can't thank Jessy and Solveig from Hotley Law enough. They handled all my questions, took care of the paperwork and any potential loose ends, and turned, well, let's be honest, a not-so-great experience into a 5-star one! For reals, thank you to Jessy, Solveig, and the team at Hotley Law from me and my kid for helping us get past this chapter and onto to the rest of our lives.

Prior to retaining the services of Holtey Law, my wife and I had been involved in a painful,…read moretwo-year long custodial struggle, with a lawyer who was...less than helpful. Eventually, we were forced to change strategies, and attorneys. We had sought a second opinion on our case from Nathan Holtey, who came recommended to us, and that one hour conversation was enough to convince us that he and his team were up to the task. When the aforementioned change of representation occurred, Nathan was personally unavailable for our case, but recommended the absolutely stellar, professional and personable Allison Kamilos. Allison immediately picked up the slack, leaping in to the middle of the previous attorney's clusterf**k, managing to turn everything around and help us navigate the final steps of our custody battle, despite an absurdly tight schedule before the final deadline. Allison communicated clearly, openly and honestly, listening to our concerns, offering feedback and advice (something our previous attorney failed to do), and making one of the most stressful and frustrating times in our lives navigable, bearable, and affordable. I cannot recommend the services of Holtey Law, and Allison in particular, any higher. If ever the situation arises again, where we are in need of an attorney (and I pray that day never comes), I will look nowhere else for legal representation. Case closed.

My experience with Carolyn Janzen at Rugged Law was severely disappointing…read more I retained Ms. Janzen for a family law matter and terminated the representation in less than 48 hours because I lost confidence in the representation I was receiving. One of my primary concerns was that my $14,000 retainer check was deposited before I ever signed an engagement agreement or fee agreement. That immediately raised concerns for me. After ending the representation, I was charged over $1,000 for what I believe amounted to approximately one meeting and photocopying of my documents. I disputed the charges, requested that the invoice be revised, and attempted to resolve the matter directly. I was unable to reach a resolution, so I filed a complaint and fee dispute with the Oregon State Bar. My understanding is that the firm chose not to participate in the fee dispute process. I also became uncomfortable with the repeated discussions about the firm's use of AI in legal work and ultimately decided this firm was not the right fit for me. I cannot recommend this firm based on my experience. I encourage anyone considering hiring Rugged Law to carefully review the fee agreement before paying a retainer, ask detailed questions about billing practices, and make sure they are completely comfortable with the representation before proceeding.
