Ben Eder

Ben was amazing! This was easily the most stressful and scary situation I have ever been in (mine was a more complicated case) and having Ben as my lawyer gave me such piece of mind. He explained everything every step of the way and was always available for any questions I had (and trust me, there we...re a lot). His response time was very quick! Without Ben as my lawyer, I am sure things would have turned out much differently for me. I consulted with several lawyers, and Ben was by far the best candidate. If you need a DUII lawyer, don't look any further. I genuinely feel as though he cares for his clients and it shows.

Sometimes when you find yourself seeking the help of a criminal defense lawyer, you're likely in a state of extreme stress, anxiety and concern. You've found yourself in place you regret being in and would do anything to change the past. You are forced to place your future in the hands of perfect s...tranger and hope for the best. Ben came on high recommendation so I sought his council. From the beginning he thoroughly listened to my story, asked pertinent questions and explained in detail what the next steps were. Never did he tell me what I wanted to hear: "We are going to win." Instead, he promised to work his hardest, to be the most prepared lawyer in the courtroom and to represent me to the best of his abilities. Throughout the process, Ben was always available and responded quickly by email and answered his phone when I called. Even though the prosecuting attorney threw a couple curve balls, Ben always had a plan B to fall back on. On the day of my trial, Ben was more than prepared. His mannersim in the courtroom is confident and personable. He was able to invoke the trust of the jury and get them to understand the nuances of the law and ultimately make the right decsion in my favor. If you find yourself between a rock and a hard place and want somebody who will put in the hours to give you the best fighting chance, I recommend Ben Eder without question.

I chose Ben Eder to represent me after seeing several other attorneys in Portland. I knew I was going to retain him the moment I left our initial consultation. He laid out all possible routes we could pursue, explained pros/cons of each, gave his professional opinion, and ultimately left the decision... up to me without any pressure. I was cited for DUII, and two other violations, all of which had unique situations surrounding them. In the end I will come away with no convictions. Ben has proven to be an extremely professional, genuine, and honest attorney throughout the entire process. I initially had what seemed like an endless stream of questions and concerns, and he has promptly and thoroughly answered my questions to a very high standard in my opinion. He does not dismiss you as a client the moment court is out, he continues to prove his loyalty to being a professional of high standards and caliber. Hopefully I will not be in this or a similar situation again, but if I am, I have what I feel to be the best resource in Oregon. I highly recommend his services.

From the moment I retained Mr. Eder, I have been entirely satisfied with his superb handling of my case. He responded to my initial inquiry promptly and explained my options in clear but exacting terms. Once we chose a course of action, he utilized every means at his disposal in pursuit of a positive... outcome, and succeeded in bringing my case to a very favorable resolution. Mr. Eder is well-connected in the Portland legal community and knows its terrain. He has proven extremely professional, communicative, resourceful, and a pleasure to interact with on a personal level. In addition, Mr. Eder was able to recommend a very professional treatment program. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Eder to a friend or family member who found themselves in a similar situation.

Through a string of bizarre circumstances, I was charged twice for DUII within a short period of time. Following a friend’s recommendation, I consulted a reputable DUII attorney in Portland who then referred me to the Thuemmel, Uhle and Eder law office due to their experience in successfully taking ...DUII cases like mine to trial. When I first contacted Ben, he patiently heard my case and empathized with all my concerns. He immediately struck me as very professional and knowledgeable about the law and possible options available to me. Based on his rich experience, he provided me with all the needed information, guidance and wisdom to make sound decisions. On my first case, Ben was able to negotiate a favorable plea offer with the prosecutor whom he knew well. When we decided to take my second case to trial, Ben diligently examined it and developed a sound strategy of attack, lining up key evidence and witness testimonials along the way. In addition, he thoroughly explained to me the courtroom setting, jury selection, trial process and possible outcomes. Ben truly took my case to heart to a point where he felt more like a big brother than an attorney to me. On the day of the trial, Ben’s excellent preparation helped me feel confident and well composed to testify in my own behalf. The police officer's report and prosecution witness’ testimony were crushing, but Ben confidently cross-examined them in pursuit of his defense strategy, exposing weaknesses in their statements and assertively arguing my case. In the end, the jury promptly returned a not guilty verdict. I am very grateful to have had Ben as my attorney represent my best interests in court. He truly helped me make the best out of the worst and most stressful time in my life.
