After extensive research through other cases similar, not the same, he concluded that I was being more than ...
"I have worked with Joel for several years on different matters. We have worked together at the same firm and also called on each other for professional guidance in our own law practices. I would strongly recommend Joel to any Oregon individual or business seeking legal advice and counsel. He brings a not-so-common practical approach to the legal practice that produces efficient, cost-effective results."

"I had the pleasure of meeting Joel through the lawyer email lists a few years ago. Joel has a great reputation for his thoughtful contributions to legal, administrative and client care concerns that we address in those discussions. I happily endorse Joel Christiansen for employment cases involving sexual harassment, whistleblowing, discrimination and wrongful termination"
"I met Joel through several legal listservs and he regularly posts helpful content. We've also had the chance to correspond off list and have telephone conversations about a variety of employment law issues. I am impressed with his knowledge of employment law and his thoughts on legal strategy. I also know from speaking to other Oregon attorneys (I went to law school in Oregon, though now I'm in WA) that he is well respected amongst his Oregon peers. A victim of employment discrimination would be in good hands with Joel."

"Joel has superb legal instincts and the drive to win cases. I have often turned to Joel to provide me with the much needed reality check on cases. I have confidence in his ability to pursue the best strategy with even the most difficult of cases. I know that clients will continue to benefit from his straightforward counsel and focused advocacy."
