Personal Injury 20%

The majority of my work involves auto collisions and premises injuries. I work with clients who suffer all types of injuries, from strain and sprain-type soft tissue traumas to ruptured disks requiring conservative care and surgery. I’ve helped clients with torn rotator cuffs, shoulder impingements, ulnar nerve damage, cartilage and ligament tears, concussive syndromes, tendon ruptures and crush fractures.

I began developing a small, “mom-and-pop” business practice five years ago to be part of the creative process entrepreneurs bring to their businesses. I now represent about 30 small businesses. I've handled everything from business formation to business dissolutions, purchases and sales, commercial leases, contracts, financing, employment issues, liability advice, government relations, and tax issues.

Couldn't have made it through without him!

Jason is an honest, caring and trustworthy attorney. Dealing with an auto collision was the most stressful event I’ve encountered in my life. Jason is clear and concise with his game plan. He takes your best interest to heart and he follows through with his word. He will realistically walk you throug...h the options and scenarios which I appreciated not receiving false expectations. I’m extremely grateful for his guidance and support through every step of the process. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking and needing a personable, knowledgeable and supportive attorney.

Highly Recommend Jason!

Jason was a godsend to me. I was rear-ended in 2013 and tried to settle my medical claim by myself. Unfortunately, the person who hit me was under-insured by a well known insurance company who advertises how they can save you on car insurance. I know now, that the way they save money is to get off... as cheap as they can when settling your claim. They refused to pay all of my medical bills and had I not contacted Jason, I would have had to pay thousands out of my pocket and would have received nothing for pain and suffering. He quickly took action to represent me. I can't tell you what a relief it was to not have to deal with the harrassive phone calls and letters from the claims representative from that company. Jason negotiated a fair amount to settle my claim and pay all of my medical expenses. I am so happy that he was available to help me through this stressful time. Jason is knowledgeable, professional and available if you have any questions at all. I would, and have, recommended Jason highly to anyone who needs help with a personal claim. He is top notch!

So glad I chose Jason Posner as my lawyer

Mr. Posner was the lawyer I decided on after a car accident left me with almost as many questions as injuries . Having never been in this position before, Jason guided me every step of the way. He made the process very easy which allowed me to focus on my healing. His above all concern was always my ...health first. He was very organized and on top of every aspect of the case. He is a very clear and concise communicator and always gave me options, explaining potential outcomes of each one so I knew I was making the right decisions. He came very highly recommended to me by a client, and I absolutely recommend him to everyone. I will be using his legal services again in the future for the expansion of my business and feel safe knowing he won't miss a beat.

Above and Beyond

My lawyer withdrew from my personal injury case a few months before trial. I knew the difficulty of my particular case but also the truth of my claims. Jason provided me invaluable guidance to successfully navigate the legal arena. His communications were more timely than I ever would have expect...ed--his responsiveness was consistently extraordinary. He proved knowledgeable and resourceful as well as careful and generous in considering my needs as well as my means. He is straightforward, genuine, and caring, and I so appreciated his commitment to me. I recommend Jason wholeheartedly. I hope never to need him again :) but am happy to have found him and to recommend him without reservation.

Honorable, principled and proficient attorney

My husband and I own a small business in Tigard. We pride ourselves in ensuring that we are following the laws and are in compliance at all times. We have sought out the advice of Jason Posner numerous times in the past five years. He has successfully guided us through business changes as well as ...potential landlord-tenant issues. We have found Jason to be knowledgeable in multiple areas of the law and has always provided us sound advice and guidance. We highly recommend Jason.
