also known as Charley Gee
Charley Gee is an experienced personal injury attorney in Portland, Oregon, where he exclusively represents people against big insurance companies and corporations and the lawyers they hire to minimize or destroy people's claims.
Charley handles claims statewide in Oregon, and has experience in the investigation and resolution of countless motor vehicle crashes (including bicycle and pedestrian cases), product liability, and wrongful death claims, as well as dangerous premises and animal attack cases.
Charley started his legal career at the lowest rung, as a file clerk and legal assistant, so he understands not only the legal side of cases, but the practical side, and how important it is for clients to always be able to speak to their lawyer. Because of this he provides his cell phone and direct dial number to all of his clients.

Not that Charley doesn't have a good sense of humor but none of those lawyer stereotypes apply to this man. He is the real deal. He serves his community. He is humble AND confident- smart, prepared, and diligent. Most importantly, he is a WINNER! I should know, he helped me beat the DA's heavy-h...

Charley was incredibly helpful with my lawsuit. He handled all communication professionally and promptly, both on the phone and over email. He helped keep me informed during settlement negotiations and, ultimately, he saw my case through to a fair and appropriate conclusion!
"Charley Gee is the first person I think of with any bicycle-related personal injury questions. As someone who rides my own bike nearly every day, I know he is the person I would look to for help if I was ever hurt while riding!"
"When a friend of mine had a bicycle accident and needed an attorney, I recommended Charley. He knows the law well and successfully advocates for his clients."
