I contacted Rhett Fraser for consultation to better understand options for legal actions about a situation with a yoga teacher who is also was marriage and family therapist at a prominent Kundalini Yoga studio in Portland. She preyed on and groomed a family member in yoga class and then convinced him to become a therapy client and then sexually abused him. While Rhett explained that our family had no legal recourse against her, he provided sound advice and direction about how to report her to the licensing board for disciplinary action. Almost a year and a half later, the board voted to revoke her license and she later admitted to all the charges and surrendered her license. While this has been traumatic and devastating to our family, Rhett was compassionate and supportive about the situation and I really appreciate his service to the community. We need more people like Rhett that can help families and victims that are devastated by these terrible people who prey and sexually abuse vulnerable people. Thank you so much Rhett for you knowledge, compassion and support!
Rhett Fraser is personable, friendly, courteous and is very easy to communicate with. Rhett is absolutely professional in every aspect, and can be quite comfortable to visit with in a one on one setting. My particular case was unique and had been presented in court on previous occasions by other councilors without success. Rhett conferred with me in great length in regards to my situation, and assured me that he had extensive prior experience on this type of subject matter. Rhett applied his best effort toward my case only to learn it was more difficult than anticipated, but he persevered with positive results. Rhett was diligent in his communication with me, he himself was always quick to respond to all inquiries from me. Rhett kept me informed and updated too any pertinent information obtained to the case. I cannot thank Rhett enough, for his exemplary effort and expertise demonstrated on my behalf. I strongly encourage anyone looking for success to confer with Mr. Rhett Fraser, I know you will enjoy your experience with his law office.
Rhett Fraser represented me when he was with the public defender's office. I had never been in trouble with the law before, and he helped me get through that extremely difficult time in my life. Rhett is very down-to-earth and his style put me at ease (as much as was possible). He treated me with respect and kindness, and never appeared to judge me. He worked hard on my case, and he explained why there was reason to be optimistic. In the end, he won my trial. During the oral arguments, the judge complimented him (and the D.A.) on the quality of his written motions. I sincerely appreciate what Rhett did for me, and I only regret that it took me so long to write this review. I would definitely recommend his services.
Rhett provided us with services in two cases, one as a public defender and then we searched him out for the second one based on our absolute satisfaction the first time around. From the moment we sat down with Rhett he went over all the possible outcomes, our options and was very clear with us what we could and could not expect. He made every effort to get the best outcome for us and succeeded beyond what we hoped for. There was never a time we were not informed of what was going on, the negotiation process, and what the expectations were for our outcome, good or bad, he gave us his honest and experienced opinion and also went over worst case scenario. He was calling us on weekends, after hours, etc and never left us wondering where we stood and what was going on. This is a terrible process for a lot of people but with a guy like Rhett and his team on your side, you could not ask for more. I can not say enough good things about Rhett and his team. I would never look for any one else (hopefully will never need to). Cost wise, he was very reasonable for what we needed and worked with us to make sure we were getting what we paid for. He earned every dollar, and then some!! I can not give a better rating or review .
From the time I walked into Rhett's office I felt a calm, good energy! I would HIGHLY recommend Rhett to represent you or your family, especially if you are a case out of Washington County as was mine. He has personal knowledge that was pertinent to my case as he served as a public defender there and has gained himself a reputation that has proceeded him ( HE IS WELL LIKED AMONGST THE JUDGES) or at least with mine! He was honest and charged me a truly honest rate. I cannot thank him and his firm enough and am sure you will too have a pleasant experience. The least you could do is call and meet with him!
Rhett Fraser represented a member of my family in a criminal matter, and I found him to be professional and knowledgeable with excellent communications skills. Rhett explains the law clearly and concisely, and demonstrated strong case management ability. As a veteran journalist who spent years covering courts, I highly recommend him.
When Mr Fraser was a public defender in Washington County he represented me. It was my first time using an attorney. He did not return repeated phone calls. When it came time to represent me this is the choice he gave me. If you take the plea bargain you could avoid prison for sure. If you take it to court you could possibly go to prison. There was no opinion on my chance in court and there was not much advice beyond that critical decision. I was scared to death of the court process and he did nothing to really help me. He basically hung me out to dry. I now have two felonies on my record from that one case. It has cost me places to live and several job opportunities. That case ruined my life.
