Best in the Business

Greg is a trial attorney. Until you need to go to trial, you will not understand the significance of this. My son's personal injury was life altering. I could not have managed this ordeal without Greg. He was more than just my hired attorney. He became my friend and like family. He was interest...ed in us personally and shared much of his own life's experiences which had nothing to do with our case but rather a genuine connection. He was absolutely brilliant in defending our case when our case was forced to trial by opposing counsel. He always listened, encouraged my involvement, never made decisions without discussing them with me, and ultimately changed my life due to his expertise and attention to detail. He will forever be my confidante and friend.

Greg Kafoury is a superb attorney. The very best! He is highly knowledgeable with extraordinarily excellent judgement. He followed my case through with exceptional attention to detail. As a result of his thoroughness, we received a lot of media attention with regard to the case. The media covera...ge was all very favorable to us. From: Joan

Greg helped me through a very trying time in my life in 1981

Greg Kafoury took my divorce and my child's custody case when I did not have a dime to my name and a great responsibilty to support my mother, two sisters, a brother and his family and scores of other close relatives in refugee camps who joined me later in Portland after escaping the Soviet onslaught... and agression in Afghanistan. He helped me to go on with life through a very stressful time. God bless Mr. Kafoury. He is the best and a passionat professional and in those days I looked up to him as abrother

Essential Affirmation

Much needed legal expertise during a period in my life of provisional existence. He and Doug Hagen provided counsel that was a path towards an active engagement with society on terms that I could accept, as someone within the concept of what i wanted to see myself to be. The facts were plainly and ...eloquently stated and I was exonerated of the charges.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2001.

Reprimand issued in OR, 2001

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.
