"When I refer a friend or client to a fellow attorney, it is important that I have confidence in the attorney. For me, a referral is my representation to the person that I understand the gravity of their situation, and that the attorney I am referring them to will uphold the standards of practice they would expect from me. I have never hesitated to refer friends or clients to Ruben Medina. I know Mr. Medina to be a through and determined advocate for his clients. In addition, Mr. Medina is an engaged member of the Portland community, and he has a commitment to, and understanding of, individuals from varies cultures, backgrounds and orientations. I endorse Mr. Medina as a talented attorney."
"Although Ruben now primarily does personal injury, I met him when he was working as a criminal defender. He struck me as having a good rapport with his clients and understanding their needs. He was easy to work with, and perhaps more importantly, he was realistic. An honest lawyer with good advice can often be difficult to come by, but Ruben definitely fits that description. He knows the law well, and is an effective advocate for his clients."
