Trusted Judgment

I have worked with Maite during two incidents that occurred while conducting business in Portland. 1) I foolishly didn't read the fine print and was involved with a horrible contract. I thought I was getting a free promotion through Yellow Pages, but it turned out to be an entirely different comp...any. I felt like I wasn't alone when I hired Maite, and the issue was settled amicably. 2) Another incident occurred involving employment. I felt lost again and fear that someone wouldn't be able to handle the bad news I had to deliver. Consulting with Maite during this ordeal helped ease my mind and in the end the situation was smooth sailing. Sometimes we need assurance in order to take care of our own business. We're small people, small business owners. Although I am no longer needing her services for my business, I highly recommend Maite as an attorney for almost all business transactions, whether monetary or personnel.

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 23

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I encountered Maite Uranga when I was a prosecutor in downtown Portland. She advocated very strongly for her clients, but maintained a reasonable outlook - giving her excellent results in trial and in settlement. Now that we are on the same side, I am happy to consider her a colleague. In addition, her knowledge of law extends well outside the criminal realm, allowing her to help clients with a variety of different matters. I definitely endorse her work."
