Don delivered on his word. In the initial stages, he told us what we could expect at certain intervals and he was accurate. His legal counsel helped us through a difficult time. Physically, I still am recovering, but I believe I would not be this far along if it weren't for Don and Kim Johnson and the rest of the staff.
Don, and his assistant Kim, handled my personal injury/auto accident claim. They were both warm and friendly, kept me informed and completely in charge, every step of the way. They answered all of my questions (and took all my calls) promptly. I was pleased with my final settlement, and actually felt a little sad that I wouldn't be speaking with them any further. I would recommend Don Jacobs to any family member or friend who needed an attorney.

A Very Positive Experience!
I honestly can say I never thought it would be "pleasant" to deal with attorneys, but this law firm changed my perspective. It was a good and positive experience following a very painful and upsetting one! The auto accident was made much less stressful because of your office. I was completely satisfied. Thank you again for all your hard work on my behalf!

"Don is an excellent lawyer. He was president of the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association, which should let you know that he is tremendously committed, effective, dedicated, and smart. He's also a great guy. I'm a personal injury lawyer myself, but if I ever got hurt and needed a PI lawyer, Don would definitely be on my short list."

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Don is very attentive to his clients, realistic in his valuation of cases, and overall a great lawyer. He is also an ethical and good man and concerned about the needs of his clients. Even though he is busier than many lawyers I know, he finds time to mentor and help those that are less experienced, and give back to his community in many ways. I highly recommend Don."
