Unlike many of my Portland colleagues, I was born and raised in Oregon and I've lived here all of my life. I've gotten to know and love every corner of this state and I'm committed to protecting the rights of injured Oregonians throughout the state-not just in Portland or Salem.
Obtaining recovery for the people injured in car accidents, or other types of injury causing accidents, requires a personalized approach to the practice of law. That means understanding your client, and it also means understanding the jury. To understand the jury, you have to understand where they come from and where they live.
I understand Oregon and I understand that all of Oregon is not just like Portland. You shouldn't bring every aspect of a Portland personal injury prosecution to Burns or LaGrande, although many Portland personal injury lawyers mistakenly do. I represent clients throughout the state of Oregon and I do so by first looking at where the case is and tailoring the injury claim to that locale.
At the same time, hiring an attorney from Portland can have its benefits. As a former insurance defense lawyer for one of the nation's largest insurance companies, I've handled a very high volume of injury claim cases-hundreds, in fact.
While the general practitioner down the street in a smaller Oregon town may very well be a good lawyer, and oftentimes they are, most of the time they don't specialize in personal injury or auto accident cases. And if they do, they simply have not seen the volume of cases or developed relationships within the industry that I have. Helping injury victims protect their rights is all I do, and I've done a lot of it.
This experience combined with the touch of someone who gets Oregon and your area will almost always translate into real dollars in your recovery. When you hire the law firm of Sarah Nelson, P.C., you will get Portland experience and feel like you've hired the local lawyer down the street.
