One-Star Review: Advice Was Factually Incorrect and Costly…read more I hired Troy Pickard for a one-hour consultation regarding a complex Oregon landlord-tenant case involving illegal lease termination charges and corporate retaliation (ORS 90.385). I provided him with extensive documentation, including emails, payment portal screenshots, and the landlord's illegal waiver forms, well in advance of the appointment. The consultation was highly disappointing and a waste of the $350 fee: Poor Professionalism: The attorney was ten minutes late for the scheduled call, cutting into the paid hour. Did Not Review Evidence: It was immediately clear the attorney had not reviewed the detailed evidence I sent. Factually Incorrect Advice: Despite my evidence proving the landlord retaliated (charging me a fee after I refused to sign an illegal contract), the attorney focused entirely on a non-existent threat of a landlord counterclaim. He incorrectly stated that my lease termination was "unlawful" because it was sent by email and advised me that the landlord would successfully counter-sue me for "abandonment." Advocated Against My Best Interest: Based on this flawed analysis, he strongly advised me to settle for a "Mutual Release of Claims." This advice would have forced me to sign away my legal right to pursue the mandatory ORS 90.385 statutory fine for retaliation, which is the core of my claim. I rejected his advice, trusted my own legal research, and pursued the retaliation penalty myself. My strategy is now pressuring the corporate President for a settlement. If you have a complex case involving ORS 90.385 (retaliation) or illegal waivers (ORS 90.245), be very cautious. His advice would have cost me over $20,000 in mandatory penalties I was entitled to recover. UPDATE: Response to Attorney's Public Comment Mr. Pickard, I appreciate your quick response and acknowledge that landlord-tenant law is technical. However, my issue was not simply disliking your advice; it was that your analysis failed to account for a critical, non-technical financial reality of my case. The "little detail" you missed was the mandatory statutory penalty triggered by the landlord's retaliation (charging a fee after I refused to sign their illegal waiver, a violation of ORS 90.385). The law requires this penalty to be 2x my actual damages, creating a significant, five-figure liability for the landlord. Your "expert" advice was to ignore this massive financial liability and accept a "Mutual Release of Claims," which would have forced me to sign away my legal right to recover that mandatory penalty. You advised me to forfeit this significant recovery based on a weak, easily defeated defense argument (abandonment) that the landlord never even pursued. My review stands: the advice was factually incorrect and financially dangerous for the client.

I was hit by a cargo van while biking to work. I was, like most would be, in shock. I also, like most, told myself I wouldn't need a lawyer despite my injuries and no fault for the accident. But insurance companies make their money by denying claims and coverage. I battled months of insurance company denials while struggling to get better. Walking into Chris Hill's office and handing over my case lifted a weight off my shoulders so I could focus on recovery. Chris and his team took care of the rest. Chris is communicative, taking the time to discuss my options and their potential up and down sides so that I could make informed decisions at each step. He made sure to find and incorporate relevant case law that protected my claim so I could be confident the insurance companies couldn't exploit any loopholes. Throughout the entire process, it was clear Chris genuinely cares about his clients. I'm incredibly grateful I was referred to Chris and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of a personal injury attorney.
