I felt that I had done the right thing to protect my father and get everything in order when his dementia had started impacting his financial decisions. Unfortunately, I did not know and had not been informed that I actually needed to take that paperwork and have it recorded with the county. He did well with paying all his bills but then the county took his property because he stopped paying taxes. Had I recorded the legal document Ms. Blackwell created I would have been notified he had stopped paying his property tax per the county tax office and could have rectified the situation preventing a disabled Vietnam Vet from now being homeless.

Recently, Caitlin represented me on a discrimination and retaliation case against McKenzie Willamette Hospital. Before Caitlin's involvement in the case, I was disregarded by management and human resources alike. With Caitlin at my side, the hospital was no longer able to ignore my voice. Through all the emotions that accompany wrongdoing, Caitlin was there for me. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. Caitlin possesses a quiet confidence with the ability to fight fervently, while remaining professional and likeable. She's kind and caring, but in litigation she's a warrior. Thanks to Caitlin the hospital was held responsible for their failures and the outcome of the case far exceeded any expectation.

Thank you so much to Don Corson and his team Stacey, and Wendy! I can't say enough good things…read moreabout the law firm and couldn't hope for a better experience (other than not being hit by a truck!) I was injured in a car accident, discharged with a number of injuries, but then, I had no idea what to do! I didn't even know to call a lawyer for days, I was so confused at the time. I had memory, speaking, vision, and balance problems as well as impaired decision-making. In addition, I didn't know the first thing about my own injuries: if rehabilitation was available or effective, how I could pay for any of it, what the legal process was, and, my biggest fear, "would I ever be the same person again?" But from the moment that I spoke with Don and his team, I felt a massive weight lifted off of me and knew I that I was in good hands. They are professional, courteous, respectful, genuinely kind people, and they really cared. All of my questions were answered. Don was diligent about my case and kept me up to date regularly, but my injuries, my recovery, and my physical and emotional health (it takes a toll!) were always as important to Don as was financial compensation. Don is extremely knowledgeable about traumatic brain injury. He also knows what the permanent, and/or long-term effects may be. Such honesty, & empathy are vital for such a personal injury (especially one that other people cannot see.) Don and his team called to make sure I was doing well in-between visits. His expertise allowed me to get the care I needed for each and every problem and while I still have residual effects I'm still working on--the difference between then and now is night and day. Until now, I did not know that one's choice of a lawyer could affect the quality of one's life both today and in the future but that was the case! The Corson & Johns Law Firm helped me through a difficult, painful process with professionalism and great compassion and for that, I will be forever grateful.
