    I hired Jim to help with an issue at work. He listened to me and work through the issues with me. I highly recommend Jim.

    The Kind Law Group

    Beware of bait-and-switch representation and zero trial preparation. I hired The Kind Law Group,…read moreLLC for a traffic citation and signed a flat-fee agreement that explicitly limited my representation to Edgar Diaz or Alexandria Garcia. Instead, without any prior notice, consent, or communication, they sent an unauthorized associate (Grace Thomas) to represent me at my trial. There was absolutely no trial preparation. My 'counsel' first contacted me just before the hearing. Worse, after the trial concluded, I requested my client's file and discovered the firm failed to obtain any formal discovery. They went to trial completely blind--without the citing officer's notes or any radar calibration logs. When confronted, Mr. Diaz admitted in writing that their strategy is to passively wait for the DA to send discovery, and if the DA doesn't send anything, the firm does nothing to actively request it. As a result, my attorney completely missed critical flaws in my citation during the trial. To their credit, when I confronted Mr. Diaz about the breach of contract regarding the attorney substitution, he immediately provided a full refund of my fee. However, a refund does not erase a guilty verdict on your record caused by an attorney who showed up unprepared and empty-handed. If you want a firm that will actively defend your case and honor its contracts, look elsewhere.

    I hired Mr. Edgar Diaz to represent me in a traffic case and later an appeal. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was very disappointing and costly. From the beginning, my case was handled without any meaningful evidence development. I was never asked to provide photos, documentation, or supporting materials, even though the case involved an accident and physical damage that directly contradicted the allegation. I proactively sent photos, but they were never incorporated into any written filing or preserved argument. Communication was a major issue. I was not notified in advance of the appeal hearing, was not consulted on strategy, and did not receive a clear explanation of what happened in court afterward. I had to independently contact the court myself to confirm the outcome of my appeal. The appeal was argued almost entirely orally, with no substantive written argument preserved addressing the core factual contradictions in the case. When I later asked for records and clarification, I was repeatedly pushed to discuss matters by phone instead of receiving clear written explanations. In the end, I paid attorney fees, appeal fees, and the full court fine, with no meaningful advocacy reflected in the record. When I raised concerns about representation quality and requested a partial refund, it was flatly refused. This review is not about losing a case -- it's about lack of preparation, lack of evidence use, and lack of communication. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution others to carefully consider their options before hiring this attorney, especially if your case depends on factual evidence and detailed advocacy.

    I don't live in Oregon but I'm helping my sister out with an issue. I contacted Mark he's been very…read moreinformative about this whole situation. I've been feeling very stressed and he's helped calm me Down. I truly appreciate his honesty, he doesn't sugar coat things just to have us do business. He's very clear about the situation. I appreciate that he's taken the time to speak to me and 3 way me in conversation and emailed me so I'm part of this. Thanks Mark. We look forward in working with you in this though situation.

    Mark asked me in our consultation, of how I would like the results to end up, if I hired him. I…read moretold him that I would like to have my charge reduced to a lesser charge. I wasn't sure what to make of Mark , during our initial meeting. I looked around his office and noticed a plaque on his wall that said "100 top trial attorneys in Oregon". I believe that's what it said. I felt more comfortable in my decision making, after seeing that. I hired him, we went to court to try to plea and the assistant DA wasn't budging on a plea. We went back to court on our next and final court appearance, and it was like watching a magician at work. He had done his homework and then some. He was so prepared, that the assistant DA was left speechless and struggling to fight. She didn't stand a chance. I wasn't sure what had happened until we exited the court room. Mark explained to me what happened.......ALL CHARGES WERE DROPPED! I couldn't believe it. I was expecting a lesser charge, but Mark's hard work paid off. I'd use him again without hesitation and would highly recommend him. He's very good at his job. Thank you, Mark. -Andrew
