I had applied for SSDI and was denied, they didn't even have half my records when Social security…read moredenied me. It was a joke, the social security system is so broken and I suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and am in no way able to work full time. I do work and have found what I am able to do which is about 4 hours a week. Brian Wayson and his office did everything to put my case together and I finally got a hearing over the phone almost 3 years since my injury. I was approved and met the disability guidelines that they go off of complexly. The judge asked me one question, the medical expert heard the points that the lawyer office had put together, the exhibits and the medical expert found that I met the criteria 100% for disability. I was not surprised but am thankful that Cascadia was able to put this all together and to be approved finally for something I completely deserve. A broken system. But if you legit have a disability, it will be apparent to the judge. I appreciate the time and energy this office put into my case.

My attorney and legal assistant made themselves available to me and my providers for endless questions and assistance, they explained the sometimes confusing process in detail, and were patient with my scattered brain and forgetfulness.

I have had a positive outcome in my case and I feel like I'm in really good hands moving forward, should any curve balls get thrown our way down the line.

There has been a significant lack of communication on their end, and I still received calls from SSI directly. Also, no direction on what to do with all the paperwork that SSI kept sending me and always had to leave a message for someone to call me back from their office. They have been very frustrating to work with. The last interaction I had was that we needed to fails an appeal, I stated that we were finding a different attorney to handle our case. Next I knew they file the appeal anyway! Pretty frustrating. I would keep looking for a different attorney....

I had already checked out their Yelp reviews and so I said, "But what about their Yelp reviews? They've got a couple of 1-Stars that give me pause." The professional spoke of her experience with Heatherly and told me something I already knew: "1-Star reviews on Yelp don't necessarily paint an accurate picture". I had a choice to make: trust in a scant few reviews or in the professional's words and experience? I opted for the latter and I'm glad I did! The folks at Heatherly really put in the time, working closely with me, and fastidiously making sure every last detail on my application was correct. They also went the distance with me as we not only had to file a written appeal, but, ultimately requested a hearing in front of a judge. In the end, we received everything we asked for! I literally couldn't have (and wouldn't have) done it without their help. Thank you, Heatherly!

We'd send her vital info and she would just ignore it half the time. Medical updates! She failed to get a report that was a very key piece of evidence for my daughter's case because she never read the email when we notified her of the upcoming procedure, months ago. Then she called and literally yelled at me like a maniac because she said she hadn't been notified about this procedure. I sent her a screenshot of the email where we did. Incompetence. But the yelling at clients is a deal breaker. I thought my daughter with ASD and lots of physical illnesses was exaggerating when she told me how bad Amanda talked to her - until this happened to me. Amanda was mad at herself for screwing up, that was obvious. So she chose to try to cast the blame elsewhere, and she threw a tantrum. I've read about similar treatment toward other people by her, on here, that goes back to 2020. Why does this person still have a job there? Her boss, Dr. Kathryn Heatherly made her send an apology email saying she was sorry if she "came off" as rude? and that it was "not her intention"? Seriously? (What does your rude with "intent" sound like?) It is so unprofessional of Dr. Heatherly, as well, to keep defending and overlooking Amanda's actions. This is a very dysfunctional legal team to stay away from. Find someone who treats you with respect. We'll be looking for that ourselves, starting again.

Disappointed. I went to Chris for assistance with a serious financial issue concerning debt and…read morethe IRS. Had my initial consultation and he said he could help. Retained Chris. The bankruptcy process was long and arduous. Not a great deal of communication between us during to process. We started it in March and in July our paperwork was filed with the court. Okay so far, nothing really bad going on. Except, it was revealed to me that he himself was in bankruptcy for very much the same reason we were. That was until we had our initial hearing with the bankruptcy court. My debt was over the debt ceiling for the State of Oregon. Isn't this something that a bankruptcy attorney should know? Of course it is. After the hearing, our calls were not taken and only an email showed up. Need to research the problem. That is it. Meeting with him a week later, it was explained that he knew the debt ceiling and was hoping that the bankruptcy trustee would overlook the amount of debt I had since he slid another client through who exceeded the debt ceiling. My case was nothing but a gamble for him. He was rolling the dice with my financial future, my house and my life. I was then told after liens we placed on my house to come back and we could move forward. Fast forward. Contacted Chris. Provided a lien report for my home and. my current pay information. Weeks went by. Nothing. Followed up. Was told that he had not been able to get to it. Followed up again and this time, was kicked to the curb. Was told that he wouldn't be able to get to me for several weeks and that he was swamped with other work. I had hoped that after the massive fuck up with the filing of my case and the debit ceiling we ran into that our case might have gotten a little more attention. I now have a bankruptcy on my credit, having to. try to recover from the devastating credit advice, and still have issues with the IRS and liens on my house and no relief to show for it. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY.

I would recommend anyone who is considering a Bk to see him, he will not pressure you and is very good at what he does. The level of attention he provides is also phenomenal. Some of these lawyers you can never get a hold of, he responds to me same day almost every single time. Thank you Chris for helping me get my life back. omid

Very professional and honest. Sam managed the details of this case, gave me the opportunity to sit in on the defendant's deposition which was very enlightening. Then it was my turn for a deposition. Sam was much more prepared for this meeting than the defendant's team. Calm, respectful yet determined to get needed information from the defendant. He possesses good communication, analytical, people, listening, and negotiation skills. I learned it would have been a much easier case had I immediately sought care from a regular medical doctor (MD) in the beginning instead of just going to Chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage therapy. I didn't know any better. It was never suggested to me to get checked by a Medical Doctor until I spoke to Rizk Law. I am not sure if I would have had better relief from the pain and suffering I experienced by taking a different medical route. With more education on this matter, hindsight is 20/20. Bottom line and in the end, the defendant rear ended me and I received two favorable settlements: the first from the defendant's insurance, then from my own insurance. I definitely would recommend this Firm.

We were referred to FL by Clackamas county Social Services. It was an urgent situation with my…read morehusband's sister. We needed guardianship and conservatorship ASAP. We were quoted 13K, which we agreed upon. That amount was surpassed greatly. It was evident that copy and paste was used for the majority of legal documents. The work was not done by a lawyer, but a legal assistant. There were spelling errors, delays, poor communication and failure to mail documents. On one invoice was a 30 minute charge to mail a letter. Maybe they walked to the mailbox??? The final straw was this letter. There is no more money in the estate. Fitzwater received over $20,000 for the guardianship and simple probate. They were paid from the estate. The conversation with Jonathon today involved him telling my husband that Oregon Law states that legal fees were to be paid before other creditors. My husband was NEVER informed of this law and paid outstanding medical bills with the little amount that was left in the estate. Jonathon also stated that "he talked with the partners about waiving the unpaid invoice and they declined". Unreal, the firm got over 20K for the "work" in the case. Do not hire them unless you have unlimited funds.

I was referred to this firm specifically to assume representation for both my workers' compensation…read moreclaim and my employment termination matter. The referral was presented as a coordinated transfer to a larger firm capable of handling overlapping injury and employment law issues. This was not a general inquiry, it was intended to be a formal case handoff. When I contacted the office, staff appeared unfamiliar with my case and unaware of any referral communication. I was treated as a new cold inquiry rather than a client whose matter was being transferred. There was no evidence that case materials had been reviewed or that any attorney-to-attorney coordination had occurred prior to my outreach. The intake interaction was rushed and dismissive, with no meaningful attempt to gather background details or establish continuity of representation. Given the complexity and seriousness of combined workers' compensation and termination matters, this lack of preparation and professionalism was concerning. Being terminated while actively managing a workplace injury places clients in a particularly vulnerable position. In that context, proper referral handling and internal communication are essential. My experience reflected a breakdown in both. I would strongly advise prospective clients to confirm in writing that referrals are formally accepted, files are transferred, and case reviews have occurred before relying on this firm for representation.
