I had an excellent experience with Pam Yee on contract review and negotiation for a commercial real…read moreestate deal. I reached out to Pam at a time of desperate need -- it was Friday morning, and we had a contract that needed attorney review by Monday and we didn't have an attorney. Out of the many attorneys I contacted, Pam was the only one who listened and empathized, and she spent the weekend diligently reviewing, flagging and explaining parts of the contract that needed edits. Over the next few weeks, Pam was essential to our contract negotiation. She provided timely feedback on all documents sent her way, provided insight and advice from her experience with other commercial real-estate transactions, and at certain points directly negotiated with the opposing counsel on our behalf. I would have been lost without her. Pam is an excellent communicator, a hard worker, and somebody I trust to have my back in these dealings. I would hire Pam again for any future business dealings in Oregon.

Michael Harris is the dumbest, conniving and dishonest pr*ck youre ever going to meet in your life…read more My ex WAS IN THE PROCESS of disposing of my property in a surprise domestic dispute while I was 3000 miles away, and I asked him if it was a crime, and he said no, he did not call the police for me nor suggest that I do the same, to stop her from doing this (it IS a crime, its A FELONY), nor would he even file for an injunction to stop her - get this: BECAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE A LAWSUIT; no thats not a typo: a LAWYER did NOTHING to stop my ex from disposing of my property, BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE TO DO THE JOB I WAS HIRING HIM FOR: to file a lawsuit! Now how stupid am I for not hanging up the phone and calling a different lawyer? I'm dealing with my 90 yr old parents in wheelchairs in NY, my ex ends our relationship, I havent seen her in 3 months, she gets a restraining order against me, this idiot Harris is charging me for advice on the RO, WITHOUT EXPLAINING TO ME THAT IF I CONTINUE TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS ABOUT IT HE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY WRONG INFORMATION HE GIVES ME, I would soon find out he gave me LOTS AND LOTS of wrong information on it... HE'S CHARGING ME FOR IT WITHOUT ADDING IT TO OUR CONTRACT... OK so back to the property dispute, I told him the value was about 20,000 dollars, but I'm all distraught from everything that was going on, I was somehow EVEN DUMBER than he is, and let him convince me to sue her for only 10,000 because, I'll quote him: "you get your money quick, if we do it for more than 10k we dont get to include attorney fees, so we'll ask her to include attorney fees, and then you can write me a good review." then as embarrassing as it is for me to admit, I didnt do the math, and realize that if we sued for the 20,000, and I ended up paying him 5000, I'D STILL BE AHEAD WITH 15,000 INSTEAD THE 10,000 THAT HE CONVINCED ME TO GO WITH. meanwhile THIS WHOLE TIME HE'S DRAINING MY RETAINER so he ends up keeping the whole 5000 that i gave him, I ended up taking my ex to small claims and got the full 10,000 WITHOUT HARRIS, WHICH HE SHOULD HAVE ADVISED THAT I DO IN THE VERY BEGINNING, IF HE WAS GOING TO DO WHATS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF HIS CLIENT, but instead he was STEALING from his client FOR THE BENEFIT OF HIS FIRM, putting HIMSELF ahead of his client. DONT MAKE FUN OF HOW STUPID I AM AND HOW I BROUGHT THIS ON TO MYSELF, if youre going to hire him, because then that makes YOU EVEN DUMBER than me.

I was referred to Gary Kahn at Reeves Kahn & Hennessy by a friend whom I trust, who is in the real estate management profession and I presume works with them much more regularly. My needs were modest -- I just needed someone to help advise me and review a purchase contract. I'm sure this was pretty small potatoes for an established firm like this -- but I didn't feel like I got shortchanged on their attention at all. Gary helped review the sales contract, and made sure I understood everything. He was willing to give me as much time as would be required to answer my questions. But he also didn't draw the process out -- it was quick and easy, and his fee was very reasonable. If you are looking for a real estate attorney, I would definitely recommend Gary Kahn and his firm.

I decided what I needed was an attorney with a solo practice who could deliver the same quality advice and service but at prices that were fair. I don't need a cup of organic herbal tea or bottled spring water at my appointments. Nor do I need spa music and plush seating with a sweeping view of the river. Who do you think pays for all those fancy amenities at the firms downtown? You do. Enter Richard Sohler. Wow, I can't say enough great things about him and his practice. A top ten percent graduate of the prestigious Lewis and Clark Law School, Richard is hard-working (he grew up on an Oregon filbert farm), humble, sincere, straight talking, easy-going, thorough, and has a meticulous attention to detail. He delivers fast and efficient service and always has his eye out on how to keep his charges down so he can save the client money. In addition to updating my estate plan, I hired him to prepare my tax return for 2014, which was more than just a tiny bit complicated. In preparing my taxes, first Richard reviewed my previous year's returns and found some areas where my old CPA had dropped the ball, so to speak. The last thing I want (or anyone else I'm sure) is a tax audit. Richard recommended that I file an amended return for 2013. I agreed, so he set to work and waded through all the mess and got the amended return ready too, all while in the middle of his dear wife delivering their first baby! Just weeks after I hired Richard, I was already proud to recommend him to friends who needed advice regarding the business/book-keeping aspects of their homeowner's association, and also to friends who needed to update their estate plan like I did. If you want the best advice there is for taxes, business law, or estate planning, Richard is your man.

I cannot say enough great things about this firm. Our home was literally falling apart. We had…read moretried and tried to contact our builder and it was evident our home was beyond another patch job. Our concern was that when it was time to sell, it would never make it past inspection. We interviewed a couple of law firms that specialize in construction defect and chose Aldrich Eike, PC. This firm is a small local "Boutique" firm that walked us through every single scenario. They were professional, timely, and available to answer all of our questions (we had a ton.) They knew exactly how long the process would take and were pretty spot on. The actual construction was of course a nightmare; they had to rip off the whole front of the house, re-install new windows, siding, and rip up all the concrete, etc. What was found underneath was really, really bad, or I should say, what was no longer there. Horrible. Of course, all of this had to be done before the next rain fall and in between life, kids and my husbands travel schedule. Needless, to say Kevin was professional, available and I have given his name without hesitation to friends and family. Seriously, one of the best attorney situations we have had.

Kevin seemed helpful and responsive at first, and we were genuinely thankful to have found him. But…read morein the middle of active litigation needs, he told us he no longer litigates. The right thing to do would be to finish out those cases he already committed to, but he will not. He pushed us to another attorney at his firm, Todd Peck, and assured us Todd would finish our legal matter with a contractor dispute. Todd agreed to this at the time. Now, both of them are stepping back, which means we have to start over: find new counsel, pay a new 15k retainer, and redo work that should have already been handled. Throughout the representation, it often felt like corners were being cut, communications weren't fully read, wrong information was shared, and at one point during an active legal crisis, we were told Kevin was unavailable because he was on vacation. In my opinion, this reflects poorly on how much client outcomes were actually prioritized here. Kevin has since transitioned to mediation work, but based on our experience, I would be cautious about trusting him in that role given how this was handled. When we asked for a clear explanation of why Todd could no longer help, we were given an explanation that did not match our own email records. Still, neither attorney has taken accountability for that discrepancy or for not following through on what they had assured us. When you're in a stressful legal situation and looking for strong, professional representation, that is not what we feel we received, and we wanted to share this to help others avoid the same experience.
