The damage should be fixed. The responsible party should pay.
We help Oregon property owners recover money from insurance companies, builders, contractors, and developers after serious property damage, construction defects, and underpaid insurance claims.
Which problem are you dealing with?
Start with the problem in front of you. The legal category can be sorted out later.

Representative results only. Every case depends on its own facts. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Serious property disputes usually have a few warning signs.
The first question is not whether you know the exact legal claim. It is whether the damage, the amount at stake, and the other side’s position are serious enough to need a recovery strategy.
There is a meaningful money gap.
The repair estimate, claim payment, or proposed fix does not line up with what proper repair appears to require.
The other side is minimizing responsibility.
A builder, insurer, seller, inspector, contractor, HOA, or developer is narrowing the problem or shifting blame.
Decisions are still moving.
Repair choices, claim deadlines, inspection issues, or settlement positions could still affect the recovery path.
Work with a lawyer who understands how property disputes actually unfold.

The real repair problem
What is actually wrong, and what will proper repair require?
The responsible party
Builder, insurer, seller, inspector, contractor, HOA, or another party.
The money gap
The difference between what the other side offered and what proper repair or recovery actually requires.
The leverage path
Evidence, timing, deadlines, coverage, liability, and the amount at stake.
What happens after you reach out

Tell us the property ZIP code, who is involved, what went wrong, and the rough amount at stake.
We look for the real dispute.
