What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Verified 2026
Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.
No public discipline
No attorney this firm names appears as the respondent in any of the 457 published discipline decisions of the Supreme Court of Oregon on the conduct of Oregon State Bar members, 1951 to 2017. Published decisions record what has been decided, so this covers a disbarment or suspension on the record and not whether a registration is current today.
4.9 average over 168 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.
