I was hit by a car in February, 2015, and sustained debilitating injuries to my right knee. I stumbled across Tom's website online while researching personal injury attorneys, and couldn't be more satisfied with the service he provided me. From handling the complicated process of dealing with insurance companies, to offering thoughtful advice when it was needed, Tom was a total rock star. While I hope to never have the need for Tom's services again, I will be recommending him at every opportunity. I wouldn't hesitate reaching out to him for a second should the need for his quality work arise in the future. Thanks a million, Tom!
Tom represented me after a bad car accident. I had injuries that required surgery and several months of physical therapy, and was also in the process of moving and starting a new job when the accident happened. Tom served as a kind and patient adviser during a stressful time.
When my medical insurance repeatedly billed me in error for treatment related to the accident, Tom's firm was able to resolve the issue and get my insurance to bill my PIP plan instead.
He negotiated the best possible injury settlement in my case in spite of low policy limits. The driver who caused the accident was covered by a notoriously cheap and difficult insurance company, and I doubt I would have received a settlement without a persistent and competent lawyer.
Tom was respectful of my priorities, in particular making sure that my settlement agreement was not harmful to the passengers in my car, who were close friends of mine who were pursing their own settlement from the at-fault driver's insurance.
Because of the policy limits involved in my case, it was never going to make a lot of money for Tom's firm, but they still provided me with excellent and thorough representation.
I highly recommend Thomas Adams.
I represent people harmed by the negligence of others. Examples include car wrecks, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, nursing home injuries, sexual abuse, child abuse, dangerous premises (businesses and homes), dog bites and wrongful death.
I represent business and individuals in breach of contract and other matters. I also serve as local counsel in various matters.
I focus my practice on helping people with personal injury, motor vehicle, injury, consumer and insurance claims.
Â
I was born and raised in Grants Pass, Oregon. Â I practice with Scott Kocher and paralegal Lisa Butler at Forum Law Group LLC in Portland.
Â
I represent pro bono clients with restraining order hearings through the Domestic Violence Project of Legal Aid. I also participates in the Multnomah Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section’s Professional Development and Education Committee.Â
Â
I am an avid runner, and I'm usually training for a race so that I can feel better about regularly discovering and re-discovering Portland’s food and drink.
Â
I Â also like cramming books on the bus to work, hanging out with my little brother through Big Brothers Big Sisters and spending time with the dog and kitten.

Personal Injury
Tom took care of my claim efficiently. I was extremely pleased with the settlement. Tom kept in touch and always answered any questions promptly. I couldn't be happier with the experience.
I recommend him without reservation.

A Very Positive Experience!
Tom and Scott put me at ease the very first time I met them. This was the first time I have been involved in a law suit and consequently I had a lot of questions and concerns. They were both very patient and exceptionally knowledgeable. My calls and emails were always answered promptly and professionally. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. Tina, the paralegal, was outstanding also. I would highly recommend Forum Law Group. On a scale of 1-5, I would give Forum Law Group a 5.
