Our ClientTestimonials

The Verdict Is In:

Extraordinarily thorough. Impeccably honest. Extremely dedicated. Better results. Those aren’t our words; they’re the words of our clients and colleagues. Our clients can’t imagine how they would have faced their challenges without us. And our opponents would want us on their side if they, or someone they loved, were ever injured.

That speaks volumes. But we’ll let them tell you.

There are no substitutes.

If something happened to me, I would want my wife to be represented by Bill. I know that whatever happened it would happen faster and economically better, and while she was going through that very difficult situation he would create the best possible situation for her….Which reminds me, I need to go home and tell her that.
Stephen English, Perkins Coie
Bill is compassionate, and this is one of the reasons why he is a successful trial attorney and teacher. He spends hundreds of hours a year teaching and mentoring despite the fact that he is already one of the most sought after plaintiff’s attorneys in Oregon.
