"I needed some help with a freedom of speech issue regarding a competitor. All calls to John were answered quickly (no voicemail) and his emails only took 90 min. Got thorough, well-researched advice. Never had a better experience with a lawyer."
"He was very professional, always in touch, when I left voice message he always called back as soon as he could, el habla buen español. Muy profecional, siempre en contacto con el cliente y muy paciente para explicar lo que uno no entiende, se los recomiendo."
I have been an attorney in Oregon since 2005. During this time, I have handled cases in the areas of civil litigation, family law, personal injury, real estate, estate planning, criminal defense, and collections.
In my experience, when clients come in to my office, they are looking for: (1) someone who has the knowledge and skill to fix their problem, and (2) someone who is local and readily available to meet with them. During my time practicing law, I have made an effort to become knowledgeable in multiple areas of law. I have found that this benefits my clients when they have a legal issue that requires an understanding of more than one area of law. It is my goal to have satisfied clients who will look to me in the future when they need help on a legal issue.
I became a shareholder at Hillsboro Law Group in 2011. Prior to working as an attorney, I studied and taught literature. I am bilingual in Spanish, and have a number of Spanish-speaking clients. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis.
