About Brian
Biography
Hello: I am Director of Oregon Center for Employee Rights. I have represented Oregon employees, in wage claims and litigation since
1994. I am a wage expert, who will fight for your right to be paid for your work, and for penalties for wage nonpayment or late payment.
I don't charge my clients anything for my services. I get paid by billing your former employer for my fees.
Please give me a call or email me, and I would be happy to provide you with a free claims consultation.
Thank you,
Brian A. Buchanan

Puts in the work.
Brain had very little to go off of in my case against a former employer who never paid me. He worked for over 8 months while the company was non responsive. He never gave up and kept fighting for me and his hard work payed off! Brain is very professional and informative, you simply can not go wrong ...

Effective & Thorough
Brian listened and advised without needless trips in to "an office". I'm sure for some, doing things remotely can be a challenge to gain trust. He used his knowledge of the the law and skills in negotiating to achieve the best outcome for me. Brian was professional and timely in his correspondence...

Not good
I Had poor experience with this attorney, would not hire again. promises and encouragement then he quit without following through on his promises. My expectations with his telling me I had a good case. Then when we were to go to court, he quit. His memory is shot too.
