I’m a partner at OlsenDaines and an adjunct professor at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon.

In 2019 I was ranked among the top 2.5% of my peers by Super Lawyers ® 

My rate is $525 per hour. About 20% of my cases are pro bono. My consumer law practice focuses on:

• Class Actions

• Bankruptcy Litigation

• Fixing Credit Reports

I call my website the Underdog Lawyer ® because I enjoy representing the little guy against Wall Street and Corporate America.

As special counsel for debtors, trustees, and creditors, I've represented over 800 clients in bankruptcy matters ranging from complex litigation to debt relief.

I lecture across the country and abroad on bankruptcy enforcement under the automatic stay and discharge injunction.

I've litigated over one-hundred debtor-creditor cases, including novel issues arising under the UCC, FDCPA, and OCC regulations.

I prosecute mortgage companies in federal court for fraud, elder abuse, and unfair practices on behalf of homeowners.

I litigate false credit report issues in federal courts. I refer novel or complex matters to FCRA attorney specialists.
