Excellent Lawyer! Knowledge, ethical, kind.

Jennifer helped my Dad several years ago. She did a great job. She made the process very easy for my elderly parents, was always very understanding, respectful and kind. She helped get my Dad get the closure he needed with a very unfortunate situation. I’m grateful for her service.

Great Attorney!

One of the first the things I appreciated about Ms Jennifer L. Coughlin was how much and how well she listened to my concerns. Then she gave me advice on how I should proceed to best care for myself and explained in detail the options available to me to resolve my personal injury claim. Ms Coughl...in's staff was always very cheerful and helpful. Being a physician I have had many opportunities to work with personal injury attorneys. I must state Ms Coughlin cares more about her client, myself, and worked beyond expectations to resolve my personal injury case.

Creme de la Creme of Central Oregon Attorneys

I've been represented on two occasions by Jennifer's firm. Both were personal injury cases one in 2007 when I was represented by the senior partner and again in 2010 when Jennifer personally represented me. Both cases were complicated due to significant pre-existing conditions and both involved at ...fault drivers who were underinsured necessitating filing claims against my own insurance company for underinsured motorist. In both cases I received the policy limit from the at fault driver's insurance company as well as the maximum allowable from my own underinsured motorist policy. Jennifer never gave up on my case or took the easy way out despite repeated low ball offers from my own insurance company. She practically camped on my neurosurgeon's doorstep in order to go over the medical file with him and get him to write an opinion letter in support of my claim. Phone calls and emails were always responded to promptly by Jennifer and her staff and when I was released from St Charles after a cervical fusion Jennifer was there to drive me home. Jennifer's professionalism, legal knowledge and compassion are far above reproach. Need I say more?

Bend PI attorney is a fighter

Don't let her pretty face fool you. This lady knows how to go for the throat. Big corporate insurance companies want to diminish your personal injury complaints. They want to intimidate you and your attorney. Jennifer is not intimidated by big insurance companies, in fact, I think it's fair to sa...y that she loves the challenge. What I found most remarkable about Jennifer was that she returned phone calls and emails with lightening fast speed. This is important when a client is enduring a stressful event. I really can't praise her enough. My NET settlement was nearly double what the insurance company offered me. Another great attribute Jennifer has is that she is an outdoor enthusiast. She understood my grief at not being able to kayak, ski, and hike as I could before the accident. I highly recommend her.

My Experience

If you are reading these reviews of Jennifer Coughlin, then you are most likely in the same situation I have been in for the last six months. Your life has dramatically changed due to the carelessness or negligence of another person. A good nights sleep has become a thing of the past. On top of th...is, you must now consider finding an attorney to see if your situation qualifies as a valid case. I can tell you what happened to me and hopefully you won't run into the same. I contacted several attorneys specializing in personal injury. The assistants would ask for a "nut-shell" version of what happened to you and what you are seeking in damages. If they decide it is not profitable for their firm, you will not be given the courtesy of a phone call. You are left to figure it out over time, on your own. Fortunately you found this site, and I am confident you will find as I did, Jennifer Coughlin's approach is refreshingly unique. She contacts you personally and immediately to discuss your situation. Her empathy is apparent with your first phone call. Her knowledge of the law and the system, coupled with her passion to have you get results is nothing short of amazing and most of all comforting. Jennifer truly changed my attitude towards lawyers (at least one of them)! Sincerely, Kellie
