Never won a case
We paid hundreds & thousands of dollars to Mary Ann Dugan over a decade and she never won a case for us. She did not email back timely nor return phone calls.
Anyone I represented over a decade is still in touch with me on amicable terms. I have no idea who this anonymous poster is, therefore cannot meaningfully respond.

Was a client for less than 10 minutes
I'm posting this review because Marianne should not be the lawyer you go to if you want a compassionate evaluation of your case. Despite the glowing reviews I found her to be less than helpful. I was upset by our conversation and found her to be very unreceptive and even rude. This is not a hostile o...
I have no idea who posted this and would really appreciate having the opportunity to talk to the poster about their experience.
"Ms. Dugan is a fine attorney. I am qualified to say this, as I am attorney myself. I watched her do depositions when we were representing two different plaintiffs against the police and she is skilled in what she does and has wonderful insight into state and federal issues."
"Marianne is one of the smartest lawyers I know, and she has a huge heart and compassion for her clients. I highly recommend her."
"I have known Marianne for more than 20 years. Marianne is one of the smartest, most diligent lawyers I know. She is thorough, and well respected."
"I endorse this lawyer. Marianne is an excellent litigator. Her case preparation goes beyond the average attorney's work. She always has a commanding understanding of the facts and the law. I would refer any client to her for litigation services."

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Dugan is a leader and invaluable resource for the environmental bar in Oregon. I have worked with her on a number of legal matters and find that her skills are the quality, that all lawyers should emulate. She is well-tried, dedicated, passionate and truly a zealous advocate for her clients."
"Marianne Dugan has made an enormous positive impact in the lives of many. She is an amazing leader, teacher, and mentor. Her dedication to civil rights and environmental law has earned her a national reputation. I endorse Ms. Dugan without any hesitation or qualification."
"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. Marianne is a strong and committed advocate for workers and the rights of individuals."
"I heartily endorse this lawyer. I have known Marianne Dugan as a friend and colleague for almost twenty-two years. During that time, I have consulted with her on cases, sought her counsel regarding matters of legal strategy, ethics and professional responsibility and referred clients to her. These practices reflect the high degree of respect I hold for Ms. Dugan as well as my confidence in her judgment and integrity. Moreover, I am personally aware that she enjoys a reputation as an honest and skilled advocate among her legal peers. If you are seeking a talented, zealous and honest advocate, you need look no further than Ms. Dugan."

"I endorse Marianne Dugan, a careful, cautious, and brilliant attorney. She was a law student of mine 3 decades ago and I have followed her career and worked with her in various capacities since then. A fellow law professor once said, "Marianne Dugan is the best writer of legal arguments that I have encountered in my entire career." I concur with that judgment. In fact, Ms. Dugan and I have collaborated on materials that help teach young lawyers the art and skill of legal writing. This is important because a careful writer must be a careful thinker -- and vice versa. Ms. Dugan is a brilliant thinker. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in placing protection of my assets, my liberty, or even my life, if the occasion demanded it, in the hands of this excellent advocate for justice. Furthermore, I would place them there with Ms. Dugan in preference to any other lawyer whom I know. I am a member of the California and Oregon Bars and a law professor for 36 years."
"Dugan is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of co-counseling cases with, and we regularly have at least one federal 1983 civil rights case we are jointly working on at any given time. I have known her and her work since 1995 when I was one of her law clerks. She has an incredible brain for the law, superb attention to detail, and works harder for her clients than most other attorneys. Her ethics and dedication to the public interest and social justice make her an absolute gem within the legal profession. I constantly refer cases to Ms. Dugan without hesitation."
