Portland, Oregon: Personal Injury Attorneys
At Raivio, Kohlmetz & Steen, P.C., we focus our practice on two primary areas of law: personal injury and criminal defense. We are a small law firm of four attorneys, and we choose to maintain a selective focus because we believe it is the best way to ensure that we provide our clients with high-quality services from attorneys who have the time to stay abreast of legal developments in their chosen areas of practice.
Our personal injury law practice focuses on representing victims of car accidents and other motor vehicle accidents. We also handle premises liability cases, in which a dangerous condition on commercial or residential property causes an injury (these are sometimes known as slip and fall lawsuits). We also are available to evaluate potential police misconduct cases involving excessive force or unlawful arrest.
We handle cases involving all types of physical injury, including serious injuries like traumatic brain injuries, and even death.
Experience, Dedication and Advanced Knowledge
At Raivio, Kohlmetz & Steen, our attorneys have 70 combined years of legal practice – almost exclusively on behalf of residents of Portland and the surrounding Northwest Oregon communities. We are known as successful trial attorneys, who carefully prepare every client's case with the intention – and proven ability – to take the case to trial if necessary to fight for fair and complete compensation.
Our lead personal injury attorney, Jason A. Steen, has significant legal experience both as an insurance defense attorney, and as a plaintiff's trial lawyer. He brings to our legal practice an invaluable "insider" perspective. Due to his background, we are able to prepare our clients' personal injury cases in a way that successfully anticipates the insurance companies' most likely counterarguments – allowing us to serve our own clients that much more effectively.
At Raivio, Kohlmetz & Steen, P.C. we handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. Your initial consultation is free of charge, and in most cases we do not require payment of any up-front fees or costs. We do not accept attorneys' fees from our personal injury clients unless and until they receive a settlement or a jury award.
If you have questions about a potential personal injury lawsuit, contact our office today to schedule a free and confidential initial consultation. Call toll-free to 1-888-311-2016, or send us an e-mail.
