William J Macke

BIG bucks earned in a med mal settlement b/c of Will! First off, I had a daunting case. I called what felt like every lawyer in town who did mad mal and didn't have one even willing to take my case. I got an initial OR State Bar referral meeting with Will and a few months later he got me a H...UGE settlement that was more than I would ever have dreamed possible since I felt so insecure about the case. Will was able to find critical components that other attorneys didn't have the insight or experience to draw upon. He is articulate and smart as a whip. He doesn't lie, he's not a scumbag lawyer looking at the easiest way to get you to settle. He was open to take my case to trial as we had some serious upsides, but very daunting downsides, too. I ultimately decided I'd rather settle our case (with the life-changing money awarded) on the table and haven't looked back at that once in years, to question if I should have gone to trial! I've consulted with Will here and there and found him to be smart, straight forward, and loyal. I do want to tell you this is a hard-working man and has help but he's BUSY and don't feel like you're nagging if you have to call him a couple of times, or better yet, set up a face-to-face as he works so hard for each client that he can get caught up in the work on his plate--not a bad thing when you're the client--trust me!!

My minor child was attacked by a group of tweeked out druggies in our yard. My child was forced to defend himself. The cops then arrested my child on the grounds of defending himself with what he had in his hand at the time being in their terms "a deadly weapon". Not a single bad guy was charged with... a crime that night. My son had never been in trouble with the law, was a volunteer in the community, was very active in his school, and was an upstanding citizen... things were not looking too good for him since the cops wanted to charge him with attempt murder. It was a sickening time in our lives. We felt betrayed, alone, and paranoid of revenge from the bad guys and no protection from the police. Will Macke stepped in and took up my son's cause. He was steadfast, honest, and didn't waver. He knew his laws, supported my son's decisions, explained things on a level that we all understood, and even came to our home when he came to our town for court. Ultimately we won. All charges were dismissed. Will's knowledge of the laws, and his unwavering fight for my son was incredible. That was in 2011, and there is not one single day that goes by that I do not think of Will. Infact, I send him a Christmas card every year. He touched us on more than just a professional level. He defended my son as a friend would. I highly recommend him!! He's got your back!

Will has done an outstanding job for me ! I had another attorney which cost me alot of money and got me no where. and then i tried to handle my situation by myself and couldn't. I needed legal advice. I was very scared to hire another attorney, but when i found will he was very honest and has worked ...very hard on my case, And always makes me feel like everything will work out and be ok ! And it always does, Will really cares about his work and his clients and it shows. He is just a great attorney, and a great, great person and i will always recomend him.
