Rose Katherine Wilhelmi

Rose Wilhelmi is a Portland personal injury attorney at Bridge City Law, where she represents individuals and families throughout Oregon and Washington. She is focused on helping clients navigate the legal process after an injury with clear guidance, thoughtful communication, and steady advocacy during a difficult time.

Before entering the legal field, Rose worked as a family caregiver, an experience that continues to shape her approach to personal injury law. She saw firsthand how injuries and chronic conditions affect not only physical health, but also emotional well-being and financial stability. She also gained an early understanding of the challenges people face when dealing with insurance companies. Today, she brings that perspective into her work, helping clients feel supported while pursuing fair compensation.

During law school, Rose developed a strong foundation in civil litigation and client advocacy. She worked with the PCC Eviction Legal Defense Program, helping connect individuals facing housing instability with legal resources and financial assistance. She also worked for a solo practitioner handling employment discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and personal injury matters. These experiences reinforced her commitment to representing individuals who have been wronged and guiding them through complex legal situations.

At Bridge City Law, Rose works closely with clients from the outset of each case, helping them understand their options and what to expect. She prioritizes clear, proactive communication and a client-centered approach, recognizing that personal injury claims often arise during times of uncertainty and stress.

Rose grew up in the Tri-Cities region of Washington and earned her bachelor’s degree from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. She went on to receive her Juris Doctor from Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon.
