About Jeremiah

In over your head? Ross Law is here to help injured people and people that have been ripped off.

I became a lawyer to help people.  I started Ross Law to assist folks who were injured, ripped off, or are a crime victim.  I also believe personal service and attention is a very important part of representing clients.

 

 

As a  Marine Corps Veteran and Oregon Army National Guard veteran I believe it is my duty to assist other Veterans with various issues they may encounter.  I proudly represent Veterans and offer them discounted legal services.

 

When I am not in my office I enjoy cycling wth my wife, surfing, snowboarding, and dragonboating with the "Paddles of Fury."

Review Jeremiah Ross

Was sold a lemon.

Posted by

I was involved in a case where multiple people were suing for a measly 40k. One thing I appreciated was that he explained things throughly for me from the start. He was honest about the timeline of my case and kept tabs on it even when I forgot about it. Was really good at communicating in a timely manner and wasn't ever rude. He got me a pretty decent settlement and got the funds to me hassle free. Will definitely recomend him to family and friends and would return if his servies were ever needed again.

Extremely satisfied.

Posted by

Jeremiah was beyond excellent in his work that he did for me. He helped me recover all my losses and at every step of the process kept me informed and clearly explained all my options. And most importantly, perhaps, at every key step he reminded me that I was in charge; the decisions were mine to make.

Best Attorney I've Ever Met

Posted by

Jeremiah was amazing, helping me with every part of my case. From my initial consultation I knew he was trustable, as he tried to assist me with resolving the matter on my own, saving time and money, which would have prevented him from gaining a client. Unfortunately the insurance company wouldn't budge, and I had to take legal action. From the moment I signed on with Jeremiah he took care of everything. Working with him and Phoebe was great, and they answered any question I had and took care of the difficult communications so I didn't have to. We had to go all the way through mediation and we prevailed! He helped get a much fairer award than the insurance company wanted to offer. I would definitely look to Ross Law if I need representation in the future!

Persistent and effective

Posted by

Happy with their work, and got the desired result. The other side kept dragging their feet, but Jeremiah was persistent. He is very straightforward, and both he and Phoebe kept me in the loop and informed every step of the way. Jeremiah was very clear during our initial consultation, and didn't pressure me at all. I felt that he wanted me to make the decision that was best for me. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and listened to all of my concerns as the case proceeded.

HIT AND RUN

Posted by

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ross Law and Jerimah Ross as my attorney. He represented me in automotive hit and run which I was not responsible for but some how was caught in the middle of - due to a shady unmentioned dealership and individual who was. Jeremiah was able to represent my interest and get this sorted out within a couple of weeks. I had been trying to resolve it on my own for almost a year - ad unfortunately was not able to clear my involvement until he represented came on the scene. Thank you and truly appreciate your expediency in getting this put to rest.

A fantastic representative

Posted by

This review is long overdue. A little over a year ago I bought a truck from a car dealership in Portland that had a broken odometer. Given the obviousness of this mistake I thought that I could call the dealership, bring the truck back and get a full refund without a problem. That was not the case. After two months of being stonewalled by the dealership I gave Jeremiah a call and from then on it was in his hands. Jeremiah fought for me for just under a year and did all the dealings that I would never want to be burdened with. He was very prompt in his communication and did a fantastic job explaining the process to me. I live out of state, and moved during the past year across country, but never during that time did I feel out of the loop. In the end Jeremiah was able to negotiate a settlement that left me very happy. I couldn't recommend him enough. You can rest easy if Jeremiah is on your side.

Knowledgeable and Helpful

Posted by

Jeremiah helped me through a tough case and he pinpointed details that made my case. I would have been at a loss if he hadn't been there to help me understand what to do and how to do it. I am able to afford to go back to school because of Jeremiah's hard work. It's rare to find someone willing to work 110% of the time.

Injured on a Flight

Posted by

Jeremiah was such a pleasure to work with. Just as anyone would be, when I was injured I felt embarrassed, alone, confused, not sure what to do, who to turn to, or who was on my side. I needed to file a case against a HUGE company and the thought of going to a lawyer was almost as bad as the pain from the injury itself. I read some reviews and it was all so overwhelming as I’d never worked with a lawyer before and was really intimidated. I came to Jeremiah’s and decided to take a chance after some positive write-ups. I couldn’t have been more happy! He was so kind throughout the entire process. Jeremiah explained everything I could expect with the case in language that I could understand and was always kept up to date with what was going on. I always felt like an active participant in the process and that final decisions came down to what I was most comfortable with. He was very clear about expected timeframes and would contact me just to let me know that we were still waiting on responses from insurers and other participants in the process (the case took about 6 months). At points I had to send in pictures documenting how injuries were healing on my body, which was difficult in itself, but Jeremiah was very professional, sympathetic, and supportive. I always felt considered and respected. He communicated in a very timely and reliable fashion and I always felt comfortable contacting him by phone or email and felt fine asking any questions. We reached a settlement that feels more than appropriate but he seemed most concerned that I leave the situation happy with the outcome and confident that I could move on with my life with a feeling of resolve. I would recommend him to anyone! The cased turned out better than I could have hoped and the process was so smooth! He’s the best!

Jeremiah was very knowledgeable in our situation. He guided us by stating the law, the possibilities good & not so good. I never had a problem contacting him by phone or email. He kept us up to date on the status of our case. Jeremiah was a pleasure to work with, always very professional. I never felt uncomfortable asking him any question. Our case took about 9 months and now our case is over. It turned out I feel just as he originally explained to us. I would recommend Jeremiah to anyone.

Jeremiah is a very smart and dedicated attorney. He is a fearless advocate and works tirelessly on behalf of each and every client. I highly recommend his services.

Benjamin Okin

Jeremiah was opposing counsel (prosecutor) on several matters in which I was hired for to defend a client facing criminal charges. We did not always see eye to eye on matters, but I will say that he worked hard, ethically, treated others with due respect, and did not fear litigating. I have no doubt he continues to do the same since moving north to Oregon.

Manny Daskal, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 5, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I knew Jeremiah as a worthy opponent when he was a D.A. i his former career in California. He was a hard worker and always prepared. I know he brings these skills to his practice now. One could not do better than to hire Jeremiah for representation.

Slavik Leydiker, Personal injury Attorney on May 18, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. I've read a number of Attorney Ross's answers here on Avvo. His answers are always on point. I have no doubt that Jeremiah is a strong and zealous advocate for his clients and credit to the legal profession.
