Using my skills and experience to help clients through their personal injury, landlord/tenant, consumer protection, and domestic relations cases is my passion.  I received my law degree from the University of Oregon School of Law in 2014 and concentrated my legal studies on advocating for people with personal injury and consumer protection cases.  Prior to joining Clark Law and Associates, LLC, I gained significant hands on experience working on consumer protection issues and helping individuals through domestic relations disputes.  When not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two kids, running, weekend brunch, and rooting for the Portland Trail Blazers.

The first time I stepped in front of a jury, I knew I'd found my calling.  I'm a trial lawyer. I try cases because I enjoy helping ordinary people who have been hurt or wronged by another person, a product, or a corporation. I truly care about my clients and their cause, and I welcome the opportunity to hear about your case.. I've been fortunate to win many trials early in my career, and it's through those successes that I have leverage to negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of my clients before we decide to go to trial.  Most people, including some lawyers, don't understand that without a track record of wins at trial, a lawyer has no stock-in-trade to negotiate settlements or truly understand the value of a case.  In an age where most attorneys rarely see the inside of the courtroom, I am in a rather unique position in this regard.  Please feel free to contact me to discuss your case.

In his own words:  “I truly enjoy building relationships with clients and serving as their advocate.

Portland Personal Injury Attorney with over 35 years of experience

Portland Criminal Defense Attorney

Please visit our web site . I represent people and families in personal injury and wrongful death cases.  My specialties include pedestrian and bicycle law, and representation of foster children and other children in physical or sexual abuse and neglect cases.  The remainder of my caseload is a general personal injury practice.  The majority of my firm's cases are defended by large insurance companies that are trying to save money on claims at the expense of a person who is least able to afford it.  I earned my J.D. at Harvard Law School in 2001.  I volunteer with Oregon Walks, which is Oregon's pedestrian safety organization, and serve on the City of Portland Pedestrian Advisory Committee.  In Portland, Oregon where I live, nearly one half of all traffic fatalities are people walking or using mobility devices.  We need more advocacy and awareness to make our streets safe for everyone.  I have served as a safe streets advocate in various capacities since 1992 when I served on what was then the Oregon Bicycle Advisory Committee.  I enjoy competitive cycling (cat 2 road) and spending time with my family.
