Edward is a very knowledgeable attorney and knowledge is power. Consulting him is essential in a terrible place like Oregon, he knows exactly how to approach each case and has a sincere passion to defend and he gave me a lot of hope in what was a completely illegal and staged Oregonian trial of which my civil rights were abused in the worst ways (Oregon-mostly idiots, charlatans, and arrogant bullies with obnoxiously disingenuous attitudes and arrogance that makes them a state that needs walls). Where as most prosecutors are simply bad people and their passion is to play into a clearly corrupt legal system, he knows it all and will get you out of their unfair game. I had also consulted a few other excellent attorneys in states like Texas and California who’s first comments were “we wouldn’t practice in that state,” their advice also being as helpful as Edward’s knowledge.

If anyone is looking to hire a DUII attorney, I strongly would recommend Edward T LeClaire. Mr. LeClaire is a very knowledgeable guy. From the minute I contacted his office Tatiana his secretary was very nice and understanding. Not knowing what to do, they both gave me the information I needed and the confidence. Mr. LeClaire and Tatana were there every step of the way confirming all my court dates and keeping me up to date on all the information we had submit. Not once did he give up on my case. I am very blessed and lucky to have found him. With all his knowledge and experience we were able to win the case.

Edward LeClaire offers great representation. What a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and experienced attorney! The moment I learned he’d be representing me I got my peace of mind back. When we went to my hearing, I was even more amazed at his strategy. Don’t get deceived by his handsome looks and nice smile! This attorney is ready to defend you, and if there is anything that can be done for your case, rest assured - Edward LeClaire will do it. What can I say about my hearing? It was very long, it was very confusing, but the confidence of my attorney really made me feel more comfortable. And yes, we won! Thank you so much for all your help, I cant express my gratitude enough to do you justice! If any of my family or friends ever needs representation, I wont hesitate recommending Mr. LeClaire to them!

Mr. Le Claire has an amazing mind for legal issues. He seems to know the law inside and out; any questions I had about laws or my rights as a citizen were answered with depth and understanding that comes from someone who is a skilled attorney. What really sets him apart is how he advocates for client rights; many attorneys seem to just dial it in but Mr. LeClaire does not do that. I know that he has lots of trial experience and has gotten many good results for clients. I would highly recommend Mr. LeClaire.

Edward represented me 3 years ago on two very difficult cases. I was aquited on the first case in just under 2 and half days of trial. The second case didn't go as well but it had nothing to do with Edwards representation of me. Edward is one hell of an attorney and a great man. If you are seeking an attorney with a back bone and compassion then Edward is your guy.

Edward went above and beyond was very professional and knowledgeable. His price was also very reasonable. I would totally recommend this attorney and definitely use him again. Hopefully I won't have to but you know what I mean.

I hired Mr Leclaire for help on a dui case in 2013. While he seemed really helpful in the beginning, as the process continued he became less responsive and seemed less stable. He did not give me the relevant information needed to make an educated decision on chosing to go to trial and exaggerated his trial skills- as a result, I rejected diversion and took the case to trial. In the weeks leading up to the trial, I couldnt get ahold of him. At trial, he was woefully unprepared and had me testify without ever preparing me to take the stand. Midway through the trial, the judge pulled him into her chambers to ask if he was well enough to continue. He said he was. He should have been honest and said he wasnt Not surprisingly, we lost. He never followed up afterwards. Now that several years have passed, I see that he has been disciplined for client complaints that are much less than the mistakes he made with my case. I should have filed a complaint. He should never be allowed to practice law again.

My husband gave Edward LeClaire 1,080 dollars for an expunction of criminal records. We have still not heard any word back from him, and his phone number has been changed.
