I was in need of someone to update and revise my estate plan but I was tired of the high prices…read morecharged by the firms downtown. 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.

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.
