About Gordon
Biography
I am a trial lawyer and litigator. My practice is broad, focusing on general liability and products liability, health law, medical malpractice defense, municipal defense and consultation, and professional liability defense. My extensive trial experience in high-exposure litigation has built my reputation as a lawyer to retain when losing isn’t an option. My compassion, persistence, and skill at quickly evaluating risks, developing strategy, and effectively representing my clients has made me a highly requested lawyer by physicians, attorneys and other professionals facing litigation.
I am a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and was named 2013 Lawyer of the Year in Portland by The Best Lawyers in America for the practice area of Legal Malpractice Law - Defendants.
