I was falsely accused of something. The problem, I didn't know what to do or how to defend myself. Bryan gave me a step by step plan and strategy to take on the false allegations. He was always easily accessible and listened with attention to detail while giving clear feedback on what was essential and what was not. His litigation was masterful, he made use of the facts in his arguments that only someone with expertise in the law would know how to utilize. He understood how to use litigation to show the allegations were false even when the odds were against me. Most importantly, he respected my resources. I never felt as though he was trying to make money off of me. He ALWAYS put my best interest first and would clearly talk through the many decisions and outcomes and the costs associated with them. I cannot recommend Bryan enough. I was fully satisfied with Bryan's results in my case and the professionalism, intensity, intelligence and sincerity he brought to the case.

Mr Boender not only accomplished exactly what I hired him for, but he did an excellent job along the way. He is very down to earth and not the least bit aloof, a very easy person to talk to. He listened intently to my story and what direction I was interested in taking my case in, and was very forthcoming with advice and his time. I didn't once feel pressured out of his office or that he was difficult to get ahold of. When it came time to actually appear in court he was early, well dressed, well prepared, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect and what was going on. If you are still reading at this point it probably goes without saying, but I highly recommend Mr Boender as a lawyer.

Bryan and his firm helped me through the most stressful time when I have no time to deal with anything but life through a Pandemic. He has a down to earth quality about him but is sharp. Just what a Eugene Attorney needs.

Mr. Boender is a consummate professional who assisted me through every step of my case. His services are billed fairly and he made himself available whenever I had questions. He never pressured me toward a decision but laid out clear options and explained potential outcomes with clarity in easy to understand language. I would highly recommend Mr. Boender, you will be hard pressed to find a better advocate for your defense.

Bryan did an excellent job for me and guided me through the process when I was lost. I considered starting the process without the help of a lawyer, but a friend advised me to lawyer up. Good Advice !! I called Bryan a couple days before I was due in court. After talking to him, I knew he was the lawyer for me. Bryan quickly reviewed my case and was ready for my court date. I highly recommend Bryan and would for sure use him again, should the occasion arise. Hopefully, there won't be a next time.

I hired Bryan when I was falsely accused of theft. He provided me with invaluable advice on how to handle my interaction with law enforcement regarding the theft. He performed a criminal liability analysis which was very professional and timely. I really appreciated Bryan's willingness to work within my budget and very short time frame. He was very fair with his billing, and he even gave me a discount on my invoice. Fortunately, I never had to go to court. If I had, I am certain that I would have been well represented. I highly recommend Bryan to anyone who needs advice on criminal matters.

I was facing a trumped-up assault charge after being attacked by a drunk and things seemed hopeless, until I met Bryan. From day 1 he seemed to know exactly how to proceed with the case, he prepared me for every eventuality and worked my case to the fullest all the way to the end, I owe him my freedom. Bryan is far above the average in his line of work, there is no one else I would more highly recommend.

Bryan was so easy to talk to and ask questions. He helped me with my first offense so I had no idea what to expect through the whole experience, but he eased the pain. Bryan explained everything thoroughly and made use of the time we had together to make sure I understood everything that was going on. Bryan is nothing but professional but also knows how to lighten the mood with jokes or some sarcasm. Bryan was always easy to get a hold of as soon as I needed him and was quick to respond with emails. I had family with me with every meeting I had with Bryan, but he always made it clear that it was just fine to ask my family to leave if I needed to discuss private matter with him, which I really appreciated. Bryan is everything and more I could have wanted to experience and have through my first offense. I would highly recommend Bryan.

I was referred to Bryan by another attorney to help me resolve a Student Code of Conduct dispute with my school that could have resulted in an expulsion. He helped me draft a letter to the administration that asserted my rights and identified errors in the way that they had handled my case. The school dropped all the charges later that afternoon, without so much as a hearing. It was obvious that Bryan knew more about the legal and administrative procedures in play in my case than the college did, which was a huge comfort and advantage. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing help with a similar situation.
