Wonderful experience
I referred a friend to James Gregory. He was a disabled vet who was being summoned to court for something that should have been resolved years ago. Mr. Gregory handled the matter swiftly and thoroughly, and went out of his way to see this matter was finally resolved. It was an extremely emotional sit...
Thank you, Sue. It was my pleasure to help, and we are proud of the just outcome that was achieved in Archie's case.

Disabled Vet
I am the disabled Vet, That Mr. Gregory helped. I had a stroke back in 1999, before the stroke I was a Graduate of Regis University BA/CS and thought I was doing well. Apparently I was arrested and put on probration for a crime I didn't comment years ago. The stroke took a lot of my skills/memory and...
It was my pleasure, Archie, to have reached a fair result in your case. I believe in justice, and I believe that access to justice should be provided to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Terrible
James told us he “forgot” to finish our case and encouraged us to sue his malpractice insurance. We hired another firm and now we found out the original case wasn’t forgotten but just not completed. If he had told the attorneys he worked with he had this case, they could have finished it for him. The...
Regrettably, I missed the statute of limitations on this client's case (the third of three cases - they were very pleased with my work on the other two). When I realized my error, I did the only right thing: I promptly disclosed what had happened, and provided referrals to five reputable attorneys who specialize in malpractice. A very capable attorney took over, and I am confident he will obtain a fair result. Anyone can make a mistake, and that is why attorneys carry insurance. Two things of note: 1) Despite what this former client stated, she did not pay me or my firm one penny in attorney fees (and, hence, did not "pay two attorneys"); and, 2) This client's statement that my old firm should have pressed ahead after the expiration of the SOL indicates she has been given extremely bad advice by someone who has an appalling lack of familiarity with both substantive law and legal ethics. . .probably the very same person who encouraged her to leave this negative review.

Exceptional
James jumped right in after taking over my case. The process was long but James kept contact with me updating me with information and progress of the case. Been a pleasure working with him and his law firm.
Thank you, Chris. Kathleen and I enjoyed working on your case. . .it is always gratifying to take a case that started with a denial of liability and transform it into maximum, "policy limits" settlement!
"I tried cases against James back when I was a prosecutor. He knows his way around the courtroom and is always diligent, collegial and zealous in his representation. Having tried as many cases as James puts a civil lawyer way ahead of the pack when it comes to trying cases."
"I have had the privilege of working with James. I heartily endorse him as a consummate professional, and a highly skilled, creative and hardworking attorney who cares about his clients."
"I've worked with James on many cases over the years. He is a strong advocate for his clients, while also being a consummate professional."
"James worked at our firm a couple of years ago. Through that experience I learned that James is bright, diligent and very competent in personal injury matters, and in litigation generally. He also always exercised good judgment, and was trustworthy in all ways. I continue to refer folks to James on occasion."
"James has a multitude of experience and insight into both criminal and civil cases, along with techinical expertise. He has been a trial attorney since early in his career, which is rare. Any client who is represented by James would be at a strategic advantage will all of his experience."
"James Gregory taught me the value of always being more prepared than your opponent. He successfully challenged unconstitutional ordinances in the City of Portland, saving his clients and many others from injustice. He is brilliant and fights hard for his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
