We Get Results
We settle a vast majority of our personal injury cases without a need for trial. Our attorneys pride themselves on their ability to get top dollar in settlement. If we can’t get the results you desire in settlement, we will take your claim to court.
Solid Experience
Our law firm has over 7 decades of collective experience in personal injury law. Roy Dwyer has won numerous trials across the state over his career. He is an active member of the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates, where he works to foster improvement in the ethical and technical standards of trial practice. Obtaining a membership in ABOTA is no easy task, as it requires the utmost professionalism and skill.
Tim Williams is the lead trial attorney in the firm, and takes more cases to trial each year than most other personal injury attorneys in the state. He serves on numerous Oregon State Bar committees, serves on the Oregon State Bar House of Delegates, and is on the Board of Governors for the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association. He is also an author, writing on legal topics for both the Oregon State Bar as well as the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association. Moreover, he lectures on trial techniques to attorneys across the state.

If he can’t get a case settled, he is not afraid to take it to trial. He is also an author for the Oregon State Bar on legal topics.
Specialists
We don’t believe in practicing areas of law in which we aren’t 100% competent. Our attorneys and skilled legal assistants are experts in personal injury law, including car accidents, car crashes involving drunk driving, brain injury, neck and back injuries, dog bites, wrongful death, product liability, and much more. We continuously keep up-to-date with seminars, conferences, and in-house training.
Team Approach
Our attorneys consult with each other on a daily basis. When it’s time to settle, the attorneys meet to evaluate your case. Our attorneys will then meet with you to discuss your case and make decisions on how to proceed.
Tough Negotiators
We know your rights and how to fight for them. We draw on our extensive experience with settlement strategy, and refuse to be bullied by big insurance companies. If we can’t obtain a reasonable settlement, we will take your case to court.
Courtroom Veterans
Most personal injury attorneys claim to be trial lawyers, without the experience to back it up. We are different. Roy Dwyer has over 45 years of trial experience, including representing clients in the Oregon Court of Appeals and the Oregon Supreme Court. Tim Williams takes more cases to trial per year than most other personal injury attorneys in the state. Richard Potter and Arne Cherkoss are both strong negotiators, and have tried numerous accident or injury cases to a jury. Simply put, our attorneys are not afraid of going to trial when necessary. This commitment to our clients makes a fair settlement much more likely.
