To say the very very least…read more Mr. Pops was honest with me from day one about what to expect and what he could and couldn't do even what he thought was reasonable and what he didn't think was reasonable. He was always respectful and upfront and I really feel like he had my best interest at heart. He worked after hours took countless numbers of irrational phone calls played counselor probably a good handful of times and at the end of the day got me everything that I was asking for within reason. I never once felt like I was mislead or he was dishonest in any way shape or form which says a lot because I'm a little skeptical. All said and done I couldn't be happier about the work he did and the time he put in. I appreciate all he did for me in a very confusing very difficult time in my life. Needless to say I highly recommend Joshua Pops.

Mr. Peter Diamond, divorce attorney, was the only attorney from the few recommended to me, who was willing to answer the phone when I first called. He patiently listened to the circumstances in my life at that moment, and even then I sensed empathy and genuine kindness. Further along the lengthy and many times unbearably painful divorce process, the same genuine kindness and caring for another being's suffering were a constant, and I can say that for everybody at Warren Allen LLP, who worked on my case. (Sean Currie, attorney, and Teresa Higgens, Mr. Diamond's personal assistant.) A special mention for Teresa, whom I used to think of as "a superwoman", based on her professional performance. Extremely quick, accurate and efficient, prompt in replies and thorough, at the same time encouraging, uplifting, and a pleasure to talk to in person. My divorce attorney, Mr. Peter Diamond, stood up for my interests with impeccable professionalism, and referred me to other high standard professionals I needed during my divorce process. A wealth of vast knowledge, he guided me through the lengthy process in a way that left no unanswered questions; elegant manners, and also concern for my finances. He instilled confidence in myself from the very first meeting, and through all the stages leading, and including the divorce trial. Outstanding trial skills. I thank God for having led me to choose Mr. Peter Diamond as my divorce attorney, and I encourage wholeheartedly, anybody who suffered beyond bearable limits in their marriage, and decided to put an end to that kind of married relationship -- to seek Mr. Diamond as their divorce attorney. You too will discover professional excellency, elegant manners, and genuine human compassion. Please read also: http://www.diamondfamilylaw.com

Andy clearly explained my options and provided me with realistic expectations. He did everything he could to help me understand all of the costs of each option. He really helped me feel comfortable and confident. After our initial consultation he quickly picked up the pieces of my case. He put together a plan of attack which led to negotiations and a fair and equitable resolution. I realized right away how ethical he is. He clearly proved himself as an outstanding attorney, but, just as important, he was honest, kind hearted, and personable. Andy and his team are invaluable and will fight for your rights as a parent. I am forever grateful and blessed to have had them on my side. Sincerely, Karl Biedritzky

Mr Shelton was adversarial, made false accusation, and refused to discuss parenting time over finances. He cost our family thousands and destroyed any chance of friendship between my ex and I.

If the goal is to burn it down, go for it!

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 had a really great experience with Gary Kahn, who represented me in my purchase of a home in…read more2016. 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 called the number and this guy answered the phone and just patiently listened to my situation and respectfully gave me the answers I needed without demanding any money.

I'll call him in the future if I have another situation as a tenant.

This guy does not want to help you if you have a disability. We had a problem with an uninhabitable…read moredwelling and a landlord who was harrassing us. I called this guy and tried to explain the problem. He cut me off, was incredibly rude, didn't even hear the whole problem and said "I can't help you" after I told him my sister is disabled. He thought the landlord was totally reasonable renting a home with no potable water and harassing tenants. According to the law a lease is invalid in an uninhabitable dwelling. Tenants also have the right to reasonable contact from a landlord. Repeated texts & calls & constantly re-entering a dwelling while tenants are living in it is all Illegal. This guy doesn't even know that. This guy couldn't hide his disgust when I told him my sister is disabled and on Section 8. She has Down syndrome with dementia. I just sold my house to be her only caregiver. We were both on the lease. Home Forward had not given us permission to move pending an inspection they never did, but they will. No one can force us to live in uninhabitable housing. I will keep my sister safe with or without her voucher, but thats what lawyers are supposed to be for. As a lease holder, I was looking for representation for MYSELF. He turned us down before I could tell him that because I told him my sister is disabled. Talk about discrimination. Apparently basic tenants rights are out of this "lawyers" depth. Apathetic, incompetent professionals are why 80% of Portland's homeless population have disabilities and are dying in the streets, who hit one obstacle after another simply trying to survive. Discrimination isn't the exception. Its the RULE. This guy doesn't have a lick of empathy & doesn't know or care about the law. He thought it was just fine for my disabled sister to drink dirty, possibly lead-filled water & live with constant harassment & threats to keep an illegally excessive deposit for normal wear and tear. People with disabilities don't need to see the full document they signed. Landlords can simply withold the extra documents they tricked you into signing to steal your deposit later. If you're about to get evicted, this guy apparently has a letter he can charge you for. If he only does evictions, he would much better off simply stating that upfront than gaslighting potential clients into believing their being unreasonable & discriminating against tenants with disabilities. This "lawyer" doesn't seem to know basic tenants rights and just broke the law discriminating against my sister. Hes probably not worried because knows civil rights don't get enforced, because of lawyers like him. Im very glad it didn't work out. I am certain I could do a better job representing myself in small claims than hiring this guy. I find it very hard to believe this is a real lawyer.

He was unscertain about a couple of issues he wanted to double check with another attorney whom he said knew more about registered domestic partnerships, and asked that I give him a days notice before signing with them. I was ecstatic, I thought my search for an attorney was finally over! Unfortunately, I never heard from him again. I sent a follow-up email to the general business, I called, and got nothing. No response. My friend who had referred me, gave me his specific email - nothing. I called one last time and got the attorney my friend was using only to find out he wasn't the one I'd spoken with (I had conversed with several attorneys and had not written his name down as all others had sent follow up paperwork & I had assumed this would go the same way)....... anyway, I spoke with my friend's attorney & asked him if he could speak with the attorney I'd spoken to because I wanted to hire him or would have to go with someone else due to time constraints. I never received a call back. I guess what I'd like to say is that if they couldn't have taken me on as a client I never should had been offered a consultation (which I paid for btw & believe I should be refunded for). Perhaps they were not comfortable taking on a domestic partnership case? I don't know, but It would have been nice to have been offered an explanation as to why no one ever got back to me, or as to why you would offer someone a consultation and sound so positive about representing someone and then never bother to respond again? It is just absolutely not a way to do business, or treat someone in this type of situation. Incredibly disappointing.
