I hired Mr. Dore in late August 2018. I was already on the docket for trial for a speeding ticket that I received for going 21 over. Mr. Dore was quick to take my money ($600) but lacked communication from there. It was over a month before I finally got a response from him after several attempts to ...reach him. When he finally reached out to me, he informed me that there was a plea offered from the prosecutor. They would drop the speed to 5 mph over but still assess the same fine at $525. I informed him that the plea was not beneficial to me and I would like to go forward with trial. Almost two weeks later, he emails me and says the judge will not let him withdrawal his plea and there is nothing he can do. If your client says no, I don’t want to take the plea, that means don’t go behind your clients back and accept I plea that I wasn’t interested in. All together, I paid $1125 for a speeding ticket that’s still going to show on my driving record. The best part about this is, when he called to tell me that there is nothing he can do about the plea, I told him I was going to call the Oregon State Bar Association for filing a plea on my behalf without my consent. At that point, he told me he was losing communication with me from this point and good luck. Unbelievably unethical and goes against every right I have. As a citizen, I have the right to a trial and Mr. Dore, singlehandedly, took that right away from me. After he took $600 from me. I will be going a legal route to try to recoup some of my money from this terrible attorney. I’m writing this review to warn other potential clients of his shady business tactics and lack of complete communication.
