When choosing a lawyer, it’s essential to conduct thorough research, and independent legal websites can be invaluable resources in this process. These platforms offer unbiased insights into a lawyer’s reputation, expertise, and track record, helping you make an informed decision. Peer reviews from fellow legal professionals provide an indication of a lawyer’s standing within the legal community, showcasing their respect and recognition among colleagues.
Client reviews are equally crucial, as they offer firsthand accounts of the client experience, giving you a glimpse into how the lawyer interacts with clients and handles cases. Positive client reviews can instill confidence in their ability to represent you effectively. Additionally, awards and accolades received by the law firm can be indicative of their commitment to excellence and success in their field. These awards serve as a validation of their skills and achievements, further bolstering their credibility.

Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® is a distinction earned through a rigorous peer-review process. Fellow Oregon attorneys are asked a critical question: “If you were unable to take a case, how likely would you be to refer your client to this lawyer?” Keith’s recognition as Lawyer of the Year for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs in Oregon is a testament to the high regard in which he is held by his peers. This honor reflects not only his legal expertise but also the trust and respect he has earned within the legal community.
Best Lawyers in America lists Keith in the area of plaintiff’s personal injury law. Lawyers must first be nominated for this honor by a former client, a judge or a fellow attorney in Oregon.
