Oregon Personal Injury Lawyers Reviews

I must add that this past year I worked for an executive suite that housed several attorneys. I noticed that often times their clients were only seen for a few minutes, appointments were booked within five minutes of each other and phone calls were rarely returned (I know this because I answered the calls).

One thing that I took away from working with you was that I felt as though I was your only client. Phone calls were returned every time, emails were replied to, and all my questions regarding the issue were answered in a timely manner. I also did not feel as though our meetings were rushed in any way and the setting was calm and comfortable.

I never had to call to get the status of my case because you always made the call to me first.

I was hit by a hit and run driver which tore the meniscus in my right knee, and had to have surgery… They caught the driver, and I got her insurance information, even though she said she didn’t have insurance… I actually didn’t deal with the insurance company that much. All I really had to worry about was physical therapy… [The settlement] was more that I thought I was going to get.

One thing I was really happy about and wasn’t expecting was the fact that I didn’t have to take the medical bills out of my settlement… Sean [DuBois] was great.. he was nice. Anytime I felt I needed or wanted to talk to him, he was available or he’d call me back. All the assistants were really helpful, really nice… everything was great. I didn’t have one problem.. not one issue. I would definitely [recommend].

Even though it was my case, you treated it like a family matter for it was a life altering experience for me.

V.M., Vancouver, WA

I loved working with Sean DuBois. It was a very positive experience. Sean was really great to work with. I would recommend him to anybody, and the process was as pleasant as it possibly could have been.

I never felt stressed about the case. I never felt worried, because I felt like he was really on it, and I trusted him, and he had it covered.

My favorite part of working with him was that he was just very good at what he does, and he just alleviated all that worry.

The results were much better than I had hoped for actually, because going into it the other driver didn’t admit any fault, and so as the case progressed, it got more complicated. What I was being faced with was going to be some percentage my fault, even though it seemed very clear to me that it was definitely not my fault. But because of legality and whatnot in the State of Oregon, Sean was preparing me that there might be some percentage that would be my fault and what that would mean and all that.

So I had prepared myself kind of for the worst case scenario, and it just turned out so much better than I had even hoped, so I was 100 percent not at fault and so that was wonderful.

I was very happy that I didn’t have to have the conversations with the insurance companies on the phone, because it got a little bit complicated, and I was very happy to let someone else who is professional deal with talking to the insurance companies about everything. I think it could have been a lot more messy than it turned out to be and more stressful. I felt like all the stress was taken off of me.

All I had to worry about was getting better and getting back to my normal life, and it was really nice to not have to worry about what I had said to the insurance company, or talking to them again, or trying to prove anything. All I had to do was just get better again. I mean Sean is – he’s great. He’s easy to talk to. He’s very trustworthy. He just allows you to be yourself and just talk about what happened, versus feeling at all like uncomfortable or intimidated or like I’m talking to a lawyer, like what if I say the wrong thing. He’s very calm, and the words are escaping me, but he’s really easy to work with, and I always felt very comfortable working with him.

My experience working with you was great! You responded to my emails thoroughly and quickly even in the middle of moving your office.

C.R., Portland

This can barely express how much I have appreciated your kindness, knowledge, expertise and patience. Without you, my journey would have ended, badly, long ago, and I will never forget that. You were on the front lines during much of my craziness, and your support was essential in helping me prevail in our battle against the “bad guys.” You, Joshua, will forever hold a special place in my heart. Keep fighting the good fight, and thank you again.

- D. Stephens, Portland, Oregon

Mr. Shulman represented me when several other attorneys basically said my case wasnt worth their time. I had an automobile accident and opted at the time to not go to the hospital and refused medical which apparently was a mistake. My injury was a deeply bruised tailbone that manifested a short time after the accident. I was having trouble sitting down, getting up, climbing stairs and getting in and out of my car.

Due to being unable to sit for extended periods of time it was all I could do to get thru my normally scheduled work hours and was unable to work any overtime to help pay my monthly bills. I was becoming more and more financially burdened because of this and had no money to pay Mr. Shulman up front. He graciously took my case without any fee and assisted me through the next year with the case against the person who was at fault in the accident.

He obtained a more than satisfactory settlement for meand deducted his fees from that amount. Throughout the year long case, he remained very positive and encouraged me to be patient through some of my darker times. I was being hounded constantly by bill collectors and was even being garnished by the Oregon Department of Revenue because of a late payment, losing $600 a month from my already dwindling paychecks. It truly was the hardest year of my life.

If Mr. Shulman hadn’t been willing to help me without advancing any money up front, I truly would not be in the position I am in today, which is debt free. He enabled me to pay off all of my bills and continue on worry-free in a downshifting economy. I would at any time recommend Mr. Shulman to anyone needing an attorney. He has my eternal thanks.

– Diane, Milwauikie, OR

I really felt you were in my corner and advocated for me for the settlement of my car accident. The best part: getting some money from the stingy insurance company!

-C.W., of Portland, OR

I was obviously still not doing great with post-traumatic stress stuff, and Joshua called me and said we need to have a meeting. And he just had a nice, personal talk with me about post-traumatic stress and how if I wasn’t ready to settle, that he thought I should seek counseling, and that he would take time – give me time – to figure out what I need to do to feel better about it. It stressed me out to even think about it.

But I feel like they did a really good job at tracking me down and making me do it – in a very nice way. I feel like he’s very personable, really easy to communicate with, very easy to be open and honest with about all aspects of the case. I felt really nice just being separated from it, being out of town, and knowing that I could have left this and have it under control and not really have to deal with it personally.

I liked the personalized attention I received from the start. Someone from the office checked in with me regularly throughout the process. I’m very pleased with the outcome. Everyone has been very helpful […] and took a personal interest in my recovery. I really appreciate everything! Thank you!

-L.N., of Vancouver, WA

Josh went the extra mile and it was all gratis. He was a blessing and shall be blessed in return. [He] told me what to expect in advance…. We set the parameters in advance and stayed within them. [He] did everything for me. I didn’t even have to come to [the] office.

-J.S., of Lake Oswego, Oregon

I’m very pleased with the service. [The case] was very stressful. From the aches and pains I had in the beginning to dealing with the insurance companies one-on-one. But then, having to go through litigation – it was very stressful. And it makes you feel like you’re a bad guy, and having somebody on your side proving that you’re not the bad guy, that you’re a victim feels very nice.

And that’s exactly what happened. From the beginning of our first appointment with Sean, just the formalities of: This is what I have to bring to him; this is what he has to offer, and we met in the middle. It was totally in the middle. No empty promises. It was: This is what I can do, everything else is up in the air until we get to the end, you know, it’s out of our control. But this is what we can do. And I don’t lose.

You don’t know what to look for. You don’t know what to and what not to look for. You know you don’t want a bad lawyer; you want a good lawyer. You want to go in and get out and feel okay about it. And from this standpoint, it’s been like that.

That was very reassuring and he came across as professional at all times, very down to earth, and very informative at all times. Any questions I had, he explained in full detail, but in layman’s terms. . . . Sean prepping me, the meeting beforehand, worked out really well. The preparation for that helped me a lot. I tend to talk very fast. And Sean, he helped me with that so that I could come across not scatter-brained and scared and confused and just really focus on the truth. And that was very helpful.

I bought you doughnuts because I was so happy that you helped me, and I just wanted to show you my appreciation…for getting me the most money that you could for my troubles, for my pain, for what I went through, and I really appreciate that. And I know you put your best effort into that every step of the way. And you called me to let me know what you were doing; you shared with me all of the information.

To have somebody else take care of it when you’re trying to deal with all the things that you have to deal with in relation to the car accident and trying to go to physical therapy and everything like that. It would have been a much bigger stress on my back to try to deal with insurance companies.

I already did try for a few days there, so, I know what it’s like to talk to them when they’re manipulating. So it was nice to be able to put it in your hands and not have to deal with it – and get a check at the end. It was just a lot more than just the pain, you know. There was a lot of other stuff that went on. You know, it’s nice to be compensated just a little bit for all the other stuff I dealt with and I appreciate you helping me.

I was driving in the vehicle with my family when we got hit by a driver who ran the red light. We just had minor injuries that interfered with our normal life for several months. We were really glad to be connected to Josh Shulman who we know through work and some friends. We knew that he has a great reputation for his work that he does.

We were very satisfied and happy with what went on with Shulman DuBois, yeah, and couldn’t be more pleased with everyone we interacted with and the way it all turned out.

Looking at this much money, I don’t want to just jump and do something. I want to think it out and see what’s left and go from there.

Sean did a really good job of keeping me calm and my wife calm too. It’s a real hard thing to go through. It’s not easy. If I had to go through it again . . . I sure wouldn’t want to go through it again. But if I had to I’d definitely have Sean on my side. I think he did a really awesome job of taking care of us.

You ask yourself, with the injuries and stuff that I’ve got to live with the rest of my life, no it’s not worth it. It never will be worth it. But at least this will get us going in a different direction.

What’s the one most important thing he could have done differently or better? He did a really awesome job all the way through. I really don’t know anything that he could have done better. He did a really good job all the way through. There was a lot to this. He had all of his Ps and Qs and stuff together. I think he did it right.

To be honest with you, when we went into that hearing, I wasn’t expecting that much money. I was expecting a lot less. So we walked out with over $100,000 more than we expected, which is pretty good.

It was a real good move for Sean to have all those people there. That was just awesome because everyone knew everyone, and they were all right in tune with what was going on.

Sean did a really good job of getting us the money and I’m really happy with it. We can get on with our life now and do what we want to do.

We’re going to be having a big barbeque, and you guys are going to have to come up for it.

In the end my case was successful and I even ended up with more money that I had originally expected. All without stepping foot in court!

-T.M., Portland, OR

Prior to our meeting I must admit I was a little anxious. Here I was a student, naturally worried about how I was going to pay for the services and not quite sure of my rights. The anxiety quickly dissipated after our first meeting.

You sat down with me, listened to my concerns, and gave me a list of documents I needed to collect in order to make the process run smooth. I was informed of my rights. After leaving the office, I felt optimistic that my issue would be resolved. When I got home that night there was even an email waiting from you – how reassuring it was to know you had already started working on my case!

-T.M., Portland, OR

I would like to sincerely thank you for your kindness, honesty, perseverance, and helpfulness. You’ve been supportive and always easy to get ahold of and I’ve appreciated your taking my case all these months. Thank you, and God bless.

-A.F., Portland, OR

I was parked at a stop sign, and a car hit me from behind going about 25 mph. And I immediately got out of the car, and my neck hurt.

As I was getting acupuncture, my acupuncturist told me about Shulman DuBois. She said, “You know, we’ve heard really good things about them,” and I came here.

Everything was very easy, simple, and everything’s been taken care of. They not only educated me, they gave me accurate information that I’ve actually passed on to other people, that was used, and I’ve actually had other people call as well!

They had a very nice pamphlet and packet that they gave me, and I have called them to ask things because I had never been in an accident before. I would call them, and an hour later Josh would call me back. If you want it nice and easy, they’ll make your life very easy. This is a good way to go. Very good.

Thank you so much for all your help, counsel and understanding throughout this case. You have made this hard process a lot easier and we appreciate you so much for that. Thank you.

-N.T., Portland, OR

I appreciate all you did for me. As you could probably guess, it was my first time needing a lawyer, but you made everything very comfortable. Especially, I appreciate how you worked to get the debts lowered for me. I do hope I’m never in a position to need a lawyer for anything like this, but of course, if the need comes up you would be my choice. Have a good Holiday season and I hope you have lots of time to spend with your family.

-M.F., Portland

Thank you for your support in this case. I know it must have been kind of crazy for you to jump in mid-way. Thanks again!

-M.H., Hillsboro

We found you in the phone book and happy we did, you are very helpful and made my case easy and not painful, I was in a collision with my work truck that was very scary and thankfully everyone is OK. At all times I felt informed and you tried your hardest to get me what I deserved. I would say keep up the great work, and I will definitely keep you in mind anytime trouble was to come my way.

-M.O., Portland

I felt and know now that you knew exactly what you were doing. You knew what the process to resolve the matter was and all the legalities behind it. I recall being regularly apprised of the matter and it was resolved quickly.

You are a warm person. You listened well and made me feel like my complaint was valid and that you understood how I was feeling.

I never had a single negative experience with you. In fact, I have since given the few business cards you gave me to friends and acquaintances. Hopefully, I will not need your services in the future, but if I do, you will be the one I call.

How I wish I had known of you when I was hit by a car back in 2000.

Hope you are well. Good luck. Please send me some more business cards!

-T.M., Portland

Since I never needed an attorney before, a friend of [name deleted] asked him to find someone for me. I thought you did a great job at explaining everything as it would happen and I especially loved breakfast before court.

I remember it was a good experience and I really appreciated the fact that you talked to the doctors and helped me get their price and yours lowered. I had no idea you could do that.

-M.F., Portland, OR

You were friendly and professional when you returned my call. All of the other attorneys kept it very short when I told them my situation. You gave me a chance by offering an appointment to hear me out. Even when you were outside of office hours and even on vacation, you never let me go more than a day without returning a phone call or email. I felt you were with me all the way.

Even when it was bad news, you let me know every step of the way each step we had to take and why. You handled my case so well that in the end you ended up giving me satisfactory results twice. I was able to pay off all of my bills, then also got a second settlement that allowed me some financial freedom. Every aspect was handled well. Never did I dream that an attorney could represent me fully without me having to pay a retainer up front.

My case was so well handled, and the results were so life changing for me, I have only wonderful things to say. In this economy, I’m even more grateful to you than you will ever know, that you took the time to listen to me where the other attorneys would not. You were always honest, never offered me false hope, always were there every step of the way. But most importantly, I can never find words to thank you for believing I had a case, and stepping up for me even though I had no up front money to offer you.

Because of you, I’m able to navigate through this economy’s financial crisis without the constant calls from the bill collectors. I had considered bankruptcy, but I held my own because you were fighting for me. I think about you often and will never forget your name.

-D.B., Portland

I was quite pleased with the manner you handled my case. Yes, I would say that you acted in a courteous and professional manner. I feel that I was kept in the loop and all communication was prompt. I believe the overarching feeling of my interaction with counsel in my case was that I was heard, understood and respected in the process.

When I didn’t understand a particular point of law, you explained it to me so that I could make the best decision possible. I felt I was treated in such a way that I was pleased with the interaction.

-S.W., Portland, OR

During the trial you were very focused. All the advice you gave me made perfect sense and I never questioned its importance in succeeding. I had very little idea what was going to happen with my situation, but you seemed to grasp immediately what the situation would be like for me and its duration till completion.

You always returned my emails and calls in a timely manner. Anything that you explained to me be it a strategy, legal concept, document, or law was done clearly and completely. I always felt like you knew what you were doing when action was necessary in progressing the case and developing a time line. My case result was very satisfactory.

Given the extreme dedication you gave my case, I felt, and still feel, that you deserved more money. Whoever heard of wanting to give a lawyer even more money, right?!

-A.B., Portland

You were very courteous and professional. My lawsuit was drug out a long time and I really appreciated you not giving up on me. I was very impressed with the timely response with all of my phone calls. I never felt like I was pushed aside because you were too busy.

My case results were satisfactory because of what we were dealing with. It is hard to prove incidents with no witnesses! I felt very lucky to have an attorney who stood by me.

-S.M., Molalla, OR

All of our experiences in dealing with you were positive. You were timely, prompt and always kept us up to date on what was going on. You continually were looking out for my best interest.

Without a doubt I would not hesitate to refer you as a lawyer if someone, i.e. co-worker, friend or family member needing legal assistance. If you could not help them I know you could refer them to another lawyer who could assist them.

- D.M., Vancouver, WA

You were straightforward, told me what to expect, were thorough. Every step of the way was explained to me! I have no complaints. Everyone was great, courteous, kind! They always kept me “in the loop” and “went the extra mile.”

- J.H., Oregon City, OR

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in December 2008. I was rear-ended on the freeway. I went through physical therapy for about a year and a half.

I was finally told that I would have to have a discogram, so I have an artificial disc placed in my neck. I was very educated on the process and what to expect. I was given paperwork when I left the very first day, and I knew what was ahead and I was informed the entire process. Everyone here has been extremely professional.

It is a waiting period but the wait is definitely worth it. I am very confident that behind the scenes everyone here was working on my case and in my best interests until the very end and I would strongly recommend this law firm.

The people here are just really friendly and I looked forward to the conversations and coming in. It was very much resolved to my satisfaction because it wasn’t a one-time offer from this law firm. They went back again and renegotiated which actually ended up to my advantage.
