Reviews of Marc Personal Injury Lawyer Portland Oregon Marc Johnston lawyer
Troy Fridlund
We hired Marc after a former employer threatened to sue us for starting our own business. Their claims were ludicrous, they were trying to push us out of business on faulty claims. Marc Johnston represented us and gave us the confidence we needed to proceed as a new business. He made our stressful situation manageable. He prepared a very strong and persuasive response which made the other attorney drop the case. As a result of Marc’s representation our company is still in business and flourishing. Marc was efficient and easy to get a hold of. He was with us to the very end of our case and communicated the details with us very well. We would highly recommend Marc Personal Injury Lawyer Portland Oregon to anyone looking for a lawyer to represent them or their small business.

Our insurance company would not pay for a fairly large claim having to do with a family member's mental illness. Marc recently helped us get together the correct documents, plus wrote letters proving the legitimacy of our claim. Besides that, he was caring and understanding about the stresses our family went through. The insurance company ended up paying for their fair share of the claim, which is all we were asking for. We appreciate the diligence and caring shown by Marc Johnston Personal Injury Lawyer Portland Oregon.

In 2009, I was rear-ended by another driver while stopped at an intersection. As a result of the collision, I had to endure a multitude of treatments including months of physical therapy, injections, a shoulder surgery and two neck surgeries . Knowing I would need help in recovering property losses as well as long-term care costs, I sought out a general attorney for legal help. After a couple of years, this attorney was eager to settle my case through mediation (he was relying very heavily on the medical opinions put forth by the defendant’s doctors). I felt it was a less than favorable amount and wasn't worth all of the agony I had endured. At that time, I began to seek new counsel. After many phone calls, I was referred to Marc Johnston Personal Injury Lawyer Portland Oregon.
My initial call to Mr. Johnston's office, I had to leave a voicemail. He personally returned my call later that day. It turned out he had just left Portland for a two week vacation to Hawaii with his family. Nonetheless, he was interested to hear the details of my case. Over the next couple of weeks, we spoke over the phone on several occasions as he was eager to answer all of my questions. At no time, did he make me feel like I was "bothering him" on his vacation.
This information was presented in the mediation Marc led that resulted in a settlement that was far more reasonable than the settlement offer my original attorney described to me as “fair."
Even though the fee was based on a fixed percentage of the gross settlement, the service from The Johnston Personal Injury Lawyer Portland Oregon didn’t stop there. Marc and his assistant actively worked with various medical providers to reduce my medical bills to a fraction of their original totals; more consistent with the rates charged to insurance companies. This resulted in over $10,000 of additional net proceeds to me in the settlement.
