Better result than imagined
Jim worked with me on case involving a criminal charge that instead of merely ending probation got my record cleared. Excellent work, knowledgeable and completely professional.

You're in good hands with Jim.

"I've used Jim on several mediations. Jim does an excellent job. His style is evaluative, which allows each side to see the weaknesses in their case, a benefit even if the case does not settle, which is unlikely with Jim running the mediation."
"Jim is a fantastic lawyer. I have seen him get outstanding results in cases that others thought were not worth fighting."
"James Huegli enjoys a stellar reputation in our legal community as a fearless yet compassionate litigator for his clients. Very few lawyers have achieved the level of success James has. He is a gentleman highly respected by others and much sought after by clients in need."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jim is an outstanding litigator with years of experience and proven litigation results."
"James has a sterling reputation in the Oregon legal community as a civil litigator and all around great attorney. James Huegli has had over 200 trials in his decades long career and is well respected in the legal community amongst his peers and judges alike. If you believe that you have a personal injury claim or have been the victim of medical malpractice, you could find no finer attorney in Oregon than James Huegli to handle your case. I strongly endorse this lawyer."
"I am proud to have the privilege to practice with and endorse my Dad. His career speaks for itself. He treats every client and case as if they are the only case he has. He puts enormous amounts of time, energy and emotion in to every case. His philosophy is to out prepare opposing counsel and he does just that."
