3 Best Criminal Defense Lawyers in Portland, OR

I used John Gilroy with Gilroy & Napoli to represent me in a very complex and multi-faceted case after a bad experience with a different lawyer/law firm (whom I dismissed). I travelled from Hawaii to deal with my case and made a point to interview several different firms. I felt instantly comfortable with John and his staff and never felt judged or looked down upon. Since I live across the Pacific Ocean and am not in state to deal with this legal matter, finding the right lawyer and firm was essential. My requirements were the following: knowledge of the law, loads of experience, amicable connections, excellent communication, likability, cost and ability to think outside the box. John Gilroy far exceeded my expectations on all accounts. His resume, experience and knowledge of the legal system are outstanding and his contacts and connections saved me both time and money. The amount I saved from his thinking outside of the box and directing me clearly on what to do covered more than his fees; I ended up saving money by using Gilroy and Napoli. He’s also a very nice guy. This may not seem important; however, having a lawyer who has a good reputation among his peers and colleagues is necessary. Many lawyers will reference that they know everyone in the system, but he genuinely does. His professional history outlines it and my experience proves it. I highly recommend John Gilroy and Gilroy & Napoli.

John not only has a friendly demeanor he is also extremely thorough with precise attention to detail. The process of looking for a talented lawyer is difficult in itself and we were lucky to be referred to John by a friend. Typically, when a lawyer is obtained it is to mitigate a stressful process. John took the time to meet with our family several times to help us understand and work through this difficult process. He was direct and honest and provided us with detailed information so we could make educated decisions. Throughout the process he provided clear communication, so we knew what to expect and what options we had available. John has a profound understanding of the law and is well respected in the community. If people are in need of his services, it is nice to know that someone with his abilities is available.

I had a great experience with this business. Navigating the process of my accident was made to be very easy and straight forward. I felt I could always call to ask questions and receive the proper guidance.

The guy gave it to me straight, I had a consultation with him. He did look up the clients file, dockets, and court documentation. He made no promises to me as it would be unethical. He gave me his flat rate and advised me that any case is worth fighting for but that doesn’t mean that you will always win. For anyone who is in this kind of position, it is in your best of interest to know and understand your rights beforehand. I would strongly suggest reading OR Statutes and not just reading them but understanding them as well.
