Highly recommend!

My husband and I needed help collecting money from an insurance company after an accident and we weren’t getting very far on our own. We reached out to David and he knew exactly how to deal with the insurance company to help us recoup our losses and have our repairs done in a timely manner. David is ...very personable and was easy to work with. He was very responsive and took the lead, which took the pressure off of us. Would highly recommend him!!

Cab company offered zero dollars David got me 70+ grand.

I can't say enough about David and his whole team of lawyers and secretary. David was able to get me over $70, 000 for an accident I was in 2 years ago. There were a lot of problems with my case but he seen that it was wrong and someone needed to be held accountable. Well he held them accountable 700...00 + times and did it super smooth. David and Joel or the ones I had most contact with and if anybody ever needs an attorney go no further than David and his staff they know what they're doing they're going to get you your money they're going to fight for you no matter what you look like because trust me I don't look like the typical person that I'm sure lawyers are used to dealing with especially them not passing any judgment. In a second I'll hire them again they know what they're doing like I said before if you want your money go to them. The downtown Portland Wells Fargo Building big ass white building downtown 21st floor. Titan Up y'all.

An attorney who cares

Dealing with a car accident is always a pain. My husband was injured in an accident. Someone pulled out in front of him and he couldn't have done anything different to stop from hitting the person. David met with us and the same day he was already on the phone talking with the insurance companies. Wi...thout his help the other insurance would never have admitted full fault. He answered any and all calls and emails without hesitation. We would have been in serious trouble without his help. He knows the ins and outs of the business and cares about the people he helps!

The best of the best personal injury lawyer

I wanted expertise, proficiency and result to help me with my auto accident. I received all and much more from Mr. Eder. I was injured in an auto accident. The other party’s insurance company took full responsibility immediately. My medical treatments were ongoing for more than one and a half y...ears. The adjuster from the other insurance company called me once a month and pretended to see how I was doing. I was offered that they will pay for all my medical bills plus $500. The adjuster said the $500 would be money in my pocket. That was a real insult to a real injury. The Oregon law requires my own insurance company to pay for my medical expenses through the PIP coverage I paid. The $500 would not even cover my gasoline expenses. I was told this was a very fair offer and that I should consider it and talk to my husband about it. After year and a half, I finally came to my senses that I needed professional advice and help. It took me just a phone call to know David Eder is the right attorney for me. He is ranked a top rated personal injury lawyer in Oregon and his reviews are all five stars. I am now another raving fan. David was thorough and precise with details in his work. He was informative of all avenues available to me and made sure I understood what my options were. He was kind and provided the best customer services. He fought tirelessly on my behalf. He got the job done and the result was above and beyond my expectations . I cannot say enough thank you to David Eder for all of his hard work.

Held my hand

David is calm, professional and informative. From the first phone call until the last he has been there for me. Answered many questions and walked me through the what happens when you screw up part of this and never made me feel like I was a low life which is how I felt. As for representation he hand...led my case with confidence and gave me choices instead of telling me what I needed to do. As a business professional he was aware of the repercussions this could have in my business life. Yet I didn't feel like I was being nickel and dimed for each letter, text or phone call. The one price and we will handle everything was how I was taken care of. If I ever need an attorney again which I really hope I don't I will call David first. I cannot recommend their firm enough.
