Ambulance chaser

I requested a copy of police records. His secretary and himself said police don't make reports. I called Warrenton OSP and they sent me report no problem. He was talking figures. (Money) I was saying I'm not settling on anything til I get more medical treatment. The shyster called me and resigned fr...om the case. There shysters!

Your claims are not accurate. We provided you all requested documents, but chose to resign because of your rude behavior.

Honest, Conpetent, Professional

I was rear ended and wanted representation. Having worked in the Auto Insurance Industry, I knew that the Ins. companies job is to pay as little as possible for my injuries and didn't care about me. Mr. "B" listened to me, my concerns and explained the process. I never used an Attorney before in my l...ife, so I was apprehensive, but walked out of his office feeling comfortable with him, knowing I made the right decision. Do exactly what he says, be patient let him do his job and you will be represented properly and have a man working hard for you. He listens and gives you direction and clear explanations. His executive asst. Karen is responsive and very friendly. Thanks to both of you for being on my side.

Personal injury claim

I hired Joe after consulting with him about a motor vehicle accident. I felt pressured by the other driver's insurance company to settle. After hiring Joe, there were no more, as I perceived it, harassing calls or letters. Joe kept me informed throughout and helped me receive a satisfactory settlemen...t. Both Karen in the front office and Joe seem like genuinely nice human beings.

Great Attorney. Great man.

Joe was referred to me by the Law Office of John Tuthill in Tillamook, as I needed a personal injury attorney. So I called Joe, we chatted for a spell, told him of the accident I was involved in. I hired Joe to represent me in my case. It was the first time I needed to hire an attorney for an acciden...t. It seemed long and drawn out, but was over before too long. Joe’s knowledge and experience in his field was what I needed, I could not have done any of this by myself. Karen, Joes assistant, is very kind and considerate and knowledgeable as well. We had a favorable outcome. If I need another personal injury attorney, Joe will be my first choice.

"It has been my privilege to work together with Joe on several cases over the course of my career. Joe's compassion for his clients and their story is unparalleled. He is the utmost professional when it comes to working with other lawyers and is responsive to the needs of his clients. Joe truly listens to those in need and spends time exploring the feelings behind the story to learn more about his client and the things they have been through. His knowledge of the law and attention to detail are exceptional. If he finds himself in an area of unsettled law Joe spends the time to sort out the issue(s) and best explain it in a way that makes it easy to understand for the client.
