About
Hello. I have represented Oregon employees, in claims and litigation since 1992, with an emphasis on claims for unpaid wages.I work on a deferred, percentage, contingency fee basis. Which means that you don't owe me any fees unless I collect for you -- and if I do collect, you will always receive more from your claims than I do. (Be wary of other lawyers who claim to have a contingency fee, but really charge by the hour).Please give me a call (1-800-394-2286) or e-mail me ([email protected]) and I would be happy to provide you with a free phone consultation regarding your claims.Thank you,Brian

Professional, honest and hard working I really appreciate all he did for me. I will definitely be going back if I ever need help again!
I had a job at an establishment that had been underpaying me by classifying my position as salary (the lowest amount a salary employee can be paid to legally be considered a salary) so I was in a situation the more I worked the less I was paid. Not to mention the establishment was abusive to their employees and had other shady practices they engaged in that ultimately resulted In a continuation in the tradition of abuse in that particular work environment. I was unsure about wether I should week legal action for fear of not being able to work on that industry again, fear of the social ridicule I would most Iikely be opening myself up for. Brian helped put my mind at ease he took on the case with confidence and was supportive to my circumstance and situation. He was transparent with every aspect and every stage of the case. I was always in the loop and he was always informative and took the time to make sure every concern and question I had were put to ease and answered clearly. Brian quickly negotiated a settlement which ended up in my favor and was an advocate and fought for me when others wouldn't. This to me is greater than any amount of money. I would recommend this man if someone needs a lawyer that cares about his client and believes in the laws that help protect and keep the system fair and balanced for those who have experienced the imbalance.
Always straight forward with any qestions I had and quick to answer. Didn't back down on the other side and had my back the entire way.
Brain had very little to go off of in my case against a former employer who never paid me. He worked for over 8 months while the company was non responsive. He never gave up and kept fighting for me and his hard work payed off! Brain is very professional and informative, you simply can not go wrong with Brian representing you.
I called Brian at the last minute for an employment issue not only did he take my call he explained how he could help and what my options were. I retained Brian and he was able to bring the matter to a quick resolution with results that were far better than I ever expected. I will recommend Brian again and again.
Brian is an excellent employment lawyer. He is a true professional, and will keep you well informed throughout the whole legal process. I highly recommend Brian. He's a real sharp shooter, and he will get you great results.
Brian listened and advised without needless trips in to "an office". I'm sure for some, doing things remotely can be a challenge to gain trust. He used his knowledge of the the law and skills in negotiating to achieve the best outcome for me. Brian was professional and timely in his correspondences to me and never felt I had to chase down information or follow up with him. If I ever needed a wage claim lawyer again, I would contact Brian.

He did it all I think he should get more the 40% he kept me well informed and had my settlement fast if your looking for a wage attorney he's the man you want
Brian was able to educate me and my past employer on the repercussions of not paying your employee upon termination. Mr. Buchanan was able to secure a fair settlement. In addition, he was very good at staying in communication with me and answering my questions. Thank you so much for your help Brian Buchanan!
Worked with Brian through a few cases, and each time he has handled them with class, efficiency and professionalism. I will continue turning to Brian for legal needs.
