About Michael
Biography
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.

Best Personal Injury lawyer.
Wow, I'm not sure where to start. I would start by saying having Stevens and Legal represent me as my lawyer has been one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Michael and Katherine worked hand in hand to assist me with my personal injury claim and even my malpractice claim. Beforehand, I ...

I wouldn't want to sit across from him
Michael was great from start to finish! He is very knowledgeable, detailed, personable, and a straight shooter, which makes it easy to trust him. I felt like my case mattered and that he got to know me. At one point he said he had a 'smoking gun' and told me not to go looking because he knows that's ...

Review of Michael Stevens, Atty
Michael handled my case professionally, but answered all my questions in plain English, with complete answers. I felt complete confidence in him, and it proved to be justified. He did a good job, and I am very satisfied.
Posted by Kevin | September 20, 2017 | Personal Injury
Very helpful consult
I talked with Michael over an hour on the phone about all the different variables involved in my potential "personal injury" case. He was 100% transparent with me and based off what he told me, it didn't make the most sense for me to hire an attorney. That's honestly right there, I trust Michael. ...
