"My endorsement of Joe comes despite the fact that we were on opposites sides of a lawsuit. Joe is exceedingly professional, and proved to be a very quick study on Washington insurance law. He is an able advocate, and a pleasure to work with. If I got into a scrape in Oregon, he'd be the first on my list of lawyers."

Joe is exceptionally knowledgeable, smart and hardworking and is great with clients and in court. Joe exudes a calm confidence and is an extremely straight forward communicator. I strongly recommend Joe Field without hesitation."
"We refer chapter 11 and complex bankruptcy litigation issues to Joe Field. Joe and his firm provide bankruptcy and litigation sophistication and get great results. As a small firm, they are much more affordable than the larger firms in town. I wholeheartedly recommend Joe Field."
"Joe and I were co-counsel for a client in a high-profile, politically-sensitive, multi-party case in Portland. Joe did exceptional work on the case, and he's been my go-to referral attorney for bankruptcy matters in Portland ever since. Joe is very smart, dedicated, organized, and detail oriented, and he's an exceedingly hard worker. He's also a great guy who's a pleasure to work with. I endorse Joe without any hesitation or reservation."
