"Rich may just be the kindest lawyer in Oregon, but as if that were not enough he also has a near encyclopedic knowledge of Oregon traffic law, administrative issues, trial court rules, and new developments in Oregon criminal law. Rich has a knack for employing these talents in ways that get his clients great outcomes. I've been lucky to watch Rich's patience and prepared demeanor as an oral advocate sway judges in his favor on a number of issues, and if I had a family member accused of DUII I would refer them to Rich immediately."

"I've never met Mr. Oberdorfer and only "know" him by way of reading his answers to questions on AVVO. That said, it is clear to me that he not only has a comprehensive understanding of the law and procedure, but Mr. Oberdorfer masterfully stitches answers together in such a way as to be practical, sensical and easily understandable to the reader. Based upon his AVVO answers I am confident that Mr. Oberdorfer speaks in equally compellingly terms to both the Judge and to the Jury (legalese and straight-up), and that is the hallmark of a great litigator. If you have a DUI / DWI or criminal defense related issue in the Portland area then I encourage you to contact Richard Oberdorfer. I would, and I proudly endorse him"
