Highly recommend!

We have used Keith Semple as our workers compensation lawyer for a few years now. He is amazing! Every time we run into a problem, he gets it resolved quickly. He is not only making sure we are taken care of, but our doctors are getting paid as well. On top of him handling the insurance company and... holding them accountable, he also follows up with us to make sure there are no other problems. We have never had a lawyer take the time to personally call and make sure everything is going well. I highly recommend Keith Semple for anything workers comp related!

Mr.

I hired Mr. Semple from this sites ratings. He was everything that I had hoped for. I had a difficult Worker's Comp. case. From the beginning he laid out the pros and cons. He worked diligently and kept me appraised at each step of the way and did not promise anything that he believed that he could n...ot fulfill. The case lasted for nearly two years. I am so pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend his services.

Attorney Review

Keith Semple has been my attorney since January of 2012. I retained Keith after suffering my third back injury due to an on-the-job accident. I am thankful every day as well. Keith is highly knowledgeable of Oregon's workman's compensation system. He as assisted me through at least three hearings and... is always highly prepared. Due to the complexity of my case, I retained Keith even when he left to work at another firm. I've never had to question Keith's expertise nor his commitment to my case. I would recommend Keith to any person needing assistance with workman's compensation. He is very thorough, highly committed to his clients, extremely knowledgeable, and is always prompt in contacting me when I seek his advice or have a question.

"I have come to know Keith in both professional contexts and outside the office. Keith is precisely the kind of lawyer that reflects best on our profession: (1) genuinely committed to stewarding his gifts / talents to improve the lot of his clients; (2) personable; and (3) exceptionally competent in worker's compensation law. One thing many people do not know about Keith—largely because of his notable humility—is that he is routinely called upon to advise on legal changes being considered at the statewide level. Consumers will not find a more reliable and knowledgeable attorney to represent them in their worker's compensation claim, than Keith. I endorse him without hesitation."
