This is regarding one of their attorneys-Jeffrey Frasier!…read moreWhen my husband first contacted Jeff Frasier about our situation, Jeff told us that "we have a strong case." Based on the information and confidence he provided during that initial phone call, we decided to move forward with him. Unfortunately, we were led on for nearly two years before going to trial. Throughout that time, Jeff repeatedly told us that we would "get something" from the case. He continued contacting us by phone and email asking for additional information about the situation, and we continued being billed for his time. Nearly a year after the lawsuit began, we met with him once to go over what to expect with the arbitration process. As someone with no prior experience suing anyone or dealing with attorneys, I relied heavily on my attorney to properly prepare and guide us. Unfortunately, that meeting left me with even more questions and did not make me feel prepared for what was ahead. Jeff then sent a junior attorney to handle the arbitration. In our experience, she appeared inexperienced and unprofessional. She essentially sat in the room with us during the arbitration, and we were billed for her time and presence, which was very concerning to us. After nearly two years of legal bills, we finally went to trial. Unfortunately, Jeff did not appear prepared or knowledgeable about our case. During the trial, he stumbled through his presentation and became frustrated. At one point, the judge even told him that he was repeating himself. On the second day of trial, the judge issued a directed verdict, meaning the judge ruled in favor of the other side because our side had not presented enough evidence to support our claim. The outcome was extremely devastating, especially after being told at the beginning that we had a "strong case." After nearly two years, substantial legal fees, stress, and time invested in this case, we were left feeling that we had not received the preparation, guidance, or representation we expected from our attorney. In the end, we walked away with absolutely nothing--except huge legal bills. I am sharing our experience because potential clients deserve to hear what our experience was like before deciding whether to hire Jeff Frasier. Based on our experience, we do not recommend him.

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.

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.

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.

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.
