Steve Hill was my attorney through a very challenging time. Steve and his team are amazing! They are very knowledgable and caring. They truly do put every effort they can into helping others and explaining the legal processes clearly. I would not reccomend anyone else who needs an attorney for Steve's practices in this area. He and his team are fantastic!
From the moment I meet Mr. Hill and his staff I felt the compassion, professionalism, and sincerity that continued during the time they worked on my difficult automobile accident case. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for the exceptional job that Steve Hill, Darcey Ridgeway, and his staff did. I would HIGHLY recommend this attorney and his staff to anyone who is in need of a personal injury attorney.
I recently used Steve Hill for A rear end accident I was in. Him and his staff went above and beyond to help me with my case and all needs I had. This was a workmen comp accident and even know he isn't a W.C attorney he still went way above and helped me with everything.. I would highly recommend him.
After being injured in an auto accident in 2013, I went to see Steve for a consultation. He supplied me with the necessary information and statutes to be able to take on the insurance company by myself with confidence. As I was leaving our meeting Steve assured me that, should things become complicated, he would be ready to represent me. Months later, when things had become more complicated and I didn't feel I was qualified to proceed any further, I again went to Steve. He took over my case, contacting the insurances companies involved and their attorney. Steve and his staff spent over 2 1/2 years dealing with all of the legal issues and medical bills. Not only did they represent me, they made me feel important. Never once did I question whether I'd gone to the right firm for help. They did it all and we didn't have to go to court to get a fair settlement. If you have legal issues stemming from a personal injury or any of the other situations Steve handles, do yourself a favor and call his office. You won't regret it!
I had a feeling there was nothing that could be done due to Oregon laws. Even after explaining to the person that send me the email from here about my circumstances, and what had be previously attempted by another lawyer, she still asked me to come into the office, This did get my hopes up, which I fell was totally unnecessary and actually unprofessional. . The rejection letter was actually quite cold too.
