I am sorry to hear this individual feels this way about my legal services. This is a very unusual response to receive from one of my clients. I strive to provide the highest quality service possible at all times, and maintaining client satisfaction is a top priority for me. If this comment is from an actual client, I would encourage them to contact me to discuss this matter. I am always in the office and would be happy to talk about any concerns they may have. I am never above hearing constructive criticism regarding my professional efforts.

“Robert stipulated to a public reprimand for meeting with a client’s child shortly after an attorney was appointed for the child. Robert acknowledged that this was in error. All other attorneys involved, including the child’s attorney, agreed that no individual was prejudiced or harmed by the conduct. The Oregon State Bar recognized that Robert’s conduct was not motivated by greed or self-interest and was simply a mistake.”
