My experience with Carolyn Janzen at Rugged Law was severely disappointing…read more I retained Ms. Janzen for a family law matter and terminated the representation in less than 48 hours because I lost confidence in the representation I was receiving. One of my primary concerns was that my $14,000 retainer check was deposited before I ever signed an engagement agreement or fee agreement. That immediately raised concerns for me. After ending the representation, I was charged over $1,000 for what I believe amounted to approximately one meeting and photocopying of my documents. I disputed the charges, requested that the invoice be revised, and attempted to resolve the matter directly. I was unable to reach a resolution, so I filed a complaint and fee dispute with the Oregon State Bar. My understanding is that the firm chose not to participate in the fee dispute process. I also became uncomfortable with the repeated discussions about the firm's use of AI in legal work and ultimately decided this firm was not the right fit for me. I cannot recommend this firm based on my experience. I encourage anyone considering hiring Rugged Law to carefully review the fee agreement before paying a retainer, ask detailed questions about billing practices, and make sure they are completely comfortable with the representation before proceeding.

I highly recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney who truly cares. Treats you just like family!

This review is solely based of off the experience with follow up and initial conversation with…read moreintake to pursue a consultation with an attorney at this firm. After speaking with Kyle the office coordinator so called "Office Manager" KYLE last week about scheduling a consultation with one of the attorneys on a time sensitive issue I was told I would be contacted via email later that day with some dates and times available. With no response still as of today and several attempts to call in to try and schedule with no return calls back I can see why prior reviews with the same experience are apparent. More so I continued to try to make a consultation appointment yet again this morning and spoke with the receptionist who let me know KYLE was the only one who could schedule the consultation and he was unavailable. It wasn't until informed the receptionist of my frustration and experience with no follow up from KYLE and I wanted to speak with his higher up that he was instantly available. He reassured me he had emailed me yesterday from our first initial conversation a week a go and deemed himself that should have sufficed in lieu of not returning any calls prior that week with my time sensitive issue. After I let him know of his poorly conducted attempt to contact me back he then let me know non of the attorney's were available or could take my case. His exact words were "no one is available until after the new year". I understand completely that the firm has many cases as they came highly recommended but as a smaller firm it should not take over a week to get a response from a schedule coordinator to let a possible future client that all the attorney's are unavailable until after New Years. Really?? After calling KYLE on his lack there of his demeanor completely changed and I asked to be re routed to the front desk. Instead of being professional he asked why and why did I need to talk to the receptionist. I let him know that I wasn't going to continue the conversation with him and would like to speak with the front desk. This is when he informed me that he was the Office Manager and anything that needed to be left with the front desk he could be made aware of. Interesting how if you a not even a client but a prospective and that's how you are treated then how actual clients are treated. All in all I believe this was a way letting me know to dodge this firm like a bullet.

She's extremely knowledgeable on the subject and had all the answers I needed. Laura Zaro and her assistant Jamie are very kind, personable and professional. They are both very responsive and, in a time, where I felt clueless, having them on my side, made all the difference. They literally took care of everything and made a scary situation, seem so calm and easy to deal with. Because of Zaro Law, my bankruptcy is now complete, and I am able to start re-building my credit with a fresh start. I learned so much from Laura and I truly appreciate how she cared so much and was willing to go above and beyond. Her prices are more than fair, and she offers a very helpful payment plan. Laura is very thorough and knows what she is doing. She's literally a God send, and I am so very thankful that I came across her and decided to stick with her. I was able to keep my house and car, which other attorneys said I wouldn't have been able to. I sure hope to never need Laura's services again, but I would hire her back in a heartbeat if I ever did, and surely, I'd recommend her to anyone needing bankruptcy assistance. She's definitely one of a kind and very much appreciated. Thank You, Zaro Law!!! - DeAndre

When I was having issues with finding a time to meet during the work day (I'm a single full time working mom), she allowed me to meet after hours to help accommodate me.
