No Integrity - not trustworthy

Our floating home community had high hopes with Mr. Pickard defending our rights to a safe and habitable moorage following the $350 consultation we paid him. (BTW many attorneys don't charge for the consultation) Mr. Pickard stated he would follow-up, agreed we had a case and would review the documen...ts that we provided him, then ghosted us. He never returned a single email or phone call after numerous attempts. A simple communication is all that was needed if he didn't want to pick up our cause or was too busy. Instead, I feel like he took our money and left us high and dry with no explanation. I feel like we flushed $350 down the drain and wasted over a month moving forward on urgent landlord issues. Nothing about this interaction felt like Troy is a man with integrity, so disappointing. He may have some positive reviews (that's why we reached out to him) and I also see a repeating theme about his inability to communicate and follow through with what he says he will do, which are both pretty key in hiring an attorney in my opinion. He also appears to be more responsive to his Google reviews than to his clients or potential clients. Mr. Pickard is a gamble, he will take your money and you may never hear from him again. I'd use caution with this one! He let a whole community of us down.

Best tenant lawyer in Portland

I'm Elie Linstant. Back in April 2019, a property manager kicked me out and collected money against me. Most of these people don't respect your right as a tenant. And as a tenant you don't the laws, and always busy at work and family. Easy for them to always abuse your right. Someone referred to Troy... Pickard. I'm telling you guys the truth. I'm Haitian, after knowing that there was no hope, my hope was just to pay about 4700 to them. But Troy get my case and solved it. He was a savior for me. Now I don't owed no money to that manager and they paid me for not respected the law or my right. I will refer anyone to Him. Yes he's good. And for me he is the best. If you have a problem with any landlord. Trust him and you will have the best results than ever. With Troy is peace in mind. Thank Mr Troy. You're the best

Ideal Experience

I was referred to Troy through CAT following my landlord's refusal to renew my yearly lease, and instead forcing a month-to-month contract so that she could get someone new in to my rental, simply because I was not receptive to her unsolicited advice regarding her world view and spirituality, and how... she felt I should be living my life. Essentially, she was attempting to force me out because I hurt her feelings by desiring a professional landlord-tenant relationship, rather than acquiescing to her need for rigid micromanagement of me. I have had a number of very bad experiences with attorneys, and was reluctant to contact him, but after my landlord refused mediation through Resolution NW and CAT, I felt that I had no choice. He listened to me, understood me, and validated me, without me having to explain the social justice issues behind my perspective and experiences. He "got it", which I really appreciated, especially since an aspect of the issue was around my landlord's sexist treatment of me following sexual harassment from our neighbors. Troy worked with me to write a strongly-worded letter that was focused on what legal options I had at my disposal to respond to her, including potential financial outcome in my favor, and within hours of her receiving his letter, she was asking me to renew another one year lease. My landlordess seemed to find the letter so intimidating, that she was willing to hear me out regarding some other lingering maintenance issues, without threatening me or shutting me down, which is her way. The next time I find myself in the need of an attorney, I will go directly to Troy Pickard. Thank you, Troy. I really appreciate you getting me out of this unnecessary housing crisis.

The Best Lawyer in Town!

Troy helped us set the record straight with a bad landlord. We were mistreated as tenants and Troy came to the rescue. He gathered lots of evidence and plead our case at the hearing. He is great at his job and won it for us. I recommend anyone with landlord issues to him. He is very detailed and driv...en to find the truth.

Relocation assistance and 90 days notice not provided by landlord

Troy was fabulous! He consulted with me over the phone first to determine if I had a case. Then we met up within two hours of our conversation and let us know exactly how we should proceed. He helped me and 4 roommates who where in a terrible situation with a landlord who did not give us sufficient... notice, tried to pass off a monthly lease as a week to week lease to avoid Relocation assistance payments and chose us because he didn’t think we would fight back and we are “nice”. He almost got away with it except I would not let it go. I researched the law to see exactly what it was and how it was enforced. Then I found Troy who not only told us things we found out but things we had not known. Within 24 hours of speaking to Troy a demand letter was sent out to our landlord for payment. Thank You so much Troy for your time and assistance today. You’re an awesome human being. If you have any issues, call Troy right away! He will let you know what to do. He’s extremely nice, forthright and honest, as well as reasonably priced.
