Previous Next I heard the firm was the ‘best’ I agree. They are by far the best firm in all of Oregon. Mike Arnold and his team kept me positive in a bad situation. They believed in me 110% all into it. They came to visit at the jail as much as possible sharing insights on my case. It was never one day I didn’t know what was going on.

They are nothing short of incredible and almost like family. They left no stone unturned and worked relentlessly on his case. My son is now a free man and able to move forward with his life. Thank you all for everything you have done. You are the best I was impressed watching Mike Arnold in his element during a suppression hearing. He is a very confident and knowledgeable attorney in the courtroom, but he also has a realness about him that I really appreciate.
