This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He works incredibly hard on each case

Steve Doyle is a bulldog and will work the best case possible. I appreciate his authenticity and how rigorously honest he is. I couldn't have found a better defense attorney.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Timely, Fair resolution for all!

I came to Steve to get the family estate settled. Two of the siblings involved had serious personality disorders which prevented me previously from making any progress. After Steve started on the settlement, this issue quickly complicated and prolonged the process. Other challenges developed after... he started working on this, a Guardianship/ Conservatorship was required for one sibling, who subsequently died, leaving another Estate without a will, to be added to his work. I got to know Steve quite well during the two and a half years that he worked on our family affairs. I felt comfortable with Steve and enjoyed communicating with him. He kept us informed, and took a personal interest in our problems. He was always very careful to consult with us before proceeding thru each step, and made sure we had a clear understanding. Steve was always passionate about his work. We saw fairness, honesty, professional courtesy with all the people he interacted with. Our situation required other attorneys, who always had a good word about Steve. I admire his ability and persistence. He was very effective in working thru the personality disorders, the unexpected complications and challenges, to get a timely and fair resolution for all involved. I would recommend Steve without any reservations.

I am so glad I hired Stephen Doyle

I was falsely accused of stalking in Clackamas County. This charge left me at wit’s end because of the possibility that if I was found guilty it could affect future employment. I knew Steve through some mutual friends and hired him to represent me. Steve’s representation of me was aggressive, thor...ough and effective. We prevailed in the case and my future employment will not be affected because of these wrongful allegations.

I'd never use anyone else.

I have known Steve over 10 years and have seen the kind of work he can do. Honestly, he makes it look easy. He's a solid listener, excels in identifying important issues which others simply overlook. Every time I have worked with Steve, he has provided solid, reliable service and delivered the result...s I needed in a timely and efficient manner. Highly recommended.

I will always be eternally grateful!

I was never in trouble with the law. I had no idea what to do when I acquired my DUI. Yet I knew who to call, Steve Doyle! My criminal offense was in Columbia County (half way to the beach) and we had to travel more than once to court. Then I acquired a second DUI. OMG! I was in big trouble no...w. I thought of ending my life. Mr. Doyle made this second DUI completely disappear, as it was an illegal search and seizure. I owe him big time. Without the events falling just at the right place and right time changed my life for the better. I will always be eternally grateful! E.M.B.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1998.

Reprimand issued in OR, 1998

updated on 12/05/2009

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
