also known as Mike Stevens
Native Oregonian helping people and small businesses. I previously worked for a large insurance company, so I know how they work. I use that insider knowledge to my clients' advantage when handling personal injury and wrongful death cases. I also have experience handling employment law cases from discrimination to pay check issues, construction defect cases (including CCB complaints), dog bites, and products liability, to name a few. Litigating is what I do so you can focus on living your life.

Fast and REALLY smart
Had to sue a company for a pay issue. When doing research myself, I thought I could get a certain amount in small claims. Then I went on avvo to verify that I was right about a few details.
