I came to Portland in 1988 to attend law school at Lewis & Clark, Northwestern School of Law after completing my undergraduate studies at Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA.  I was raised in the country on the Kitsap Peninsula and more or less consider myself a native of the Pacific Northwest.  I've always had a deep love for the Portland, Oregon community, and I am proud to call it my home.  I have raised two children in the community over the past 32 years along with several cats and dogs.  My hobbies include cycling, hiking, mountaineering, downhill skiing, rafting and pretty much anything that gets me outdoors in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.. I began my legal career as a law clerk during law school for a firm that did both insurance defense work and plaintiff's personal injury cases on behalf of individuals.  Firms of this nature are rare in today's legal community because they are almost always one or the other...not both.  I worked 20 to 30 hours a week for the law firm during law school and attended classes full time. After I graduated in the top 20% of my class from law school, I passed the bar examination on my first attempt and began working at the same firm that I worked for during law school. My mentor was a senior litigation attorney who previously worked as a law professor part time at the Nothwestern School of Law when it was a night school in downtown Portland.  He was an excellent teacher, and he taught me how to try cases to juries in the courts of Oregon.  I was handling jury trials in my first year out of law school, which is almost unheard of these days.  I also had opportunities to "second chair" cases with the senior attorney for serious injuries as well as wrongful death.  When my mentor retired, I took over his case load of plaintiff's cases, and I have been primarily practicing on my own litigating cases on exclusively behalf of individual plaintiffs for over two decades. I no longer believe in representing insurance companies because I like to help people as opposed to furthering the monetary interests of Fortune 500 corporations.  My experience representing insurers in the past during the first five years of my legal career has given me special insight into their inner workings and methods.. My passion is to help regular people navigate the legal system as an advisor and advocate. Most of my clients have never hired a lawyer before. I am very loyal to my clients and strive to deliver the best result possible.  99% of my cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning that if nothing is recovered, nothing is owed for my time.  I like the fact that I have skin in the game along with my clients.  It's what keeps me motivated and passionate.

Firm: Law Offices of Dean J Gibbons

As a product of this great state, I have owned and managed my own law practice since 1991. Though the bulk of my work has been in the Portland metro area, I have represented clients throughout Oregon. My work has been fairly diverse including criminal, civil, probate and estate planning, etc. Over the years my expertise has become increasingly concentrated in the areas of insurance and personal injury disputes as well as elder law, probate, and estate planning. These are areas that have grown in complexity and require constant vigilance and discipline to keep up with important and frequent changes. My estate planning and elder law clients are particularly concerned about how they will be affected by changes to state and federal law. To be certain, this is an environment that demands the services of a steady hand and qualified steward to navigate through this challenging period. The legacy you have worked so hard to create will depend on having the right professionals working for you now and in the future. I have worked with many Oregonians to secure that legacy and I would like to work for you.. My practice continues to thrive in the Portland metro area, but I recently expanded its reach to open an office in sunny Central Oregon. I am very excited to bring my years of experience, discipline, and work ethic to the folks east of the mountains. I sincerely invite my fellow Oregonians from both sides of the Cascades to call me and give me the opportunity to serve their legal needs as I have for others since 1991.

I started practicing law in 1992.  I opened up my own practice immediately after graduating from law school and passing the bar exam.  For the first two years I mostly did criminal defense.  Then I started representing criminal defendants in civil matters:  they had been held in jail too long, or beaten by the police.  Then I began to represent people outside of the criminal law system injured in accidents  -- primarily car accidents.. I liked doing that sort of work (personal injury or "PI" work).  It tends to be less contentious and less stressful than some other areas, although no area of litigation is without its stressors, as conflict is inherent in the process.. When I cannot agree with the other side -- which is often, I am afraid -- I like to adhere to two concepts.  The first is to disagree without being disagreeable.  The second is to agree to disagree:  stop trying to convince the other side that I am right and get the case before a judge or arbitrator to settle the matter.

Firm: Rosenbaum Law Group

I devote my practice to helping injured people and their familes with their personal injury or wrongful death claims. During my career I have successfully represented hundreds of victims in their claims against insurance companies or wrongdoers. I put my clients first and believe my representation should provide three primary benefits: 1) navigating the complicated and confusing world of insurance claims on your behalf; 2) placing you in the best possible position to focusing on recovering from your physical and emotional trauma; and 3) maximizing the compensation you receive from the wrongdoer or their insurance company.. Before rejoining the Rosenbaum Law Group as an attorney, I worked for six years as a paralegal at Rosenbaum Law Group. During that time I observed and recognized the powerful role lawyers can play in obtaining justice for people whose lives are turned upside down because of another person's negligence. I attended the Willamette University College of Law with the goal of becoming a lawyer who helps people, not corporations. At Willamette, I served as the Editor in Chief of the Willamette Law Review and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Because of the above, I possess a unique blend of legal, practical, and administrative experience that enables me to effectively represent my clients in their battle with insurance companies.
