Compassionate,dedicated,outstanding !

Without Janes dedication and hard work, the life of our precious son and that of our family would be very different and difficult indeed. Her staff was amazing and so great about keeping us informed of developments, and were so kind and gracious to work with. Very professional office but with a very ...compassionate way of dealing with difficult situations. We fell very blessed to have been represented by Jane and her colleagues and would recommend her to anyone we knew that needed this type of help. She has the knowledge and heart to do what she is doing and for that we are forever grateful!

Best lawyer in Portland.

I really couldn't be happier with Jane, John (Coletti), their staff (Carolee, Lisa, and Jan). Breaking from the normal lawyer stereotypes, I found Paulson & Coletti to be ethical, honest, and free of that normal 'slimy' lawyer stigma. Paulson and Coletti are good people, and I go to bed every night t...hankful to have had them on my team.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
