A competent rising legal star in the Portland area

Blake Dore was recommended to me by a friend who is an established attorney in downtown Portland. I had been charged with running a red light in Tualatin, OR. After sending Blake the information I had including my rendition of what had happened, he approached the court. After deliberations the cou...rt agreed with Blake's logic and dismissed the case. Meanwhile, he kept me posted on his progress so I knew what was going on all the time. The recommendation from a well established lawyer downtown made me very comfortable hiring Blake and the did a splendid job for me. I certainly recommend this bright young man, particularly if you are looking for a longer term legal relationship.

Photo Red Light CItation cut and dried? -- Not to Blake Dore'

Blake Dore is a young, energetic and personable attorney who I found online while researching how to beat red light photo citations. He eagerly took the case despite my pessimism. Blake was responsive and professional every step of the way. After filing a motion to dismiss based on state law of the l...egality of the city of Tualatin to operate the device, multiple supoenas of city records about device maintenance and examining and photographing the site himself, we were thoroughly prepared for trial. The prosecution then decided to dismiss rather than go forward. Though the prosecution did not disclose why it decided to drop the case, I expect it was because they didn't want to jeopardize future prosecutions by allowing our defense to be aired publicly in court. In researching the feasibility of beating photo red light citations, I asked several prominent attorneys how they would proceed. Every one of them had attempted to and none had been successful, one attorney even telling me he had even hired the top traffic attorney in the state to no avail. The advice was to just pay the ticket, as these types of cases are usually cut and dried given the strength of the photographic evidence. Not so to Blake Dore'. In looking through the statutes he uncovered several issues to argue which I believed compromised the ability of the prosecution to go forward, ultimately resulting in that wonderful statement: "case dismissed". We need more defense attorneys like Blake to protect us from an ever encroaching government.

The man to tackle any case with great results!

Blake Dore did a phenomenal job on my case. I was charged with speeding, unlawful lane change and reckless driving, he was able to negotiate with the DA's office a careless driving conviction and all other charges dropped without going to trial. He did all this while offering the best rates in Oreg...on, I highly recommend Blake Dore.

Considered advice

My experience with Mr. Dore is limited to my question posted on AVVO; however, his considerations and insight were far above what I would have considered excellent for this venue. While I hope never to require his services, I would not hesitate to call him should such a need arise.

Excellent Experience

I had an experience at a hospital emergency room when my daughter needed medical care and we didn't have insurance at the time. We received a bill for almost $3000. Most of that was for a CT scan that had really been unneccesary. The hospital refused to work with us to set up a payment plan and so we... contacted Mr. Dore. Within 48 hours, he not only had the bill reduced to $700, but had negotiated a payment plan with the hospital. For this, he has our complete faith and trust and he will always be my first call when I need an advocate!..
