Welcome

Welcome to my personal website. I am a consumer protection attorney with Baxter & Baxter, LLP in Portland, Oregon. I am licensed in Oregon and Washington, and I handle cases in all 50 states. I am a trial lawyer, and I have had the good fortune to tell my clients’ stories to state and federal juries during my career.

I handle a variety of consumer rights cases, but my focus is on Fair Credit Reporting Act cases. I also handle Fair Debt Collection Practices Act cases and Telephone Consumer Protection Act cases.

    • In 2007, I obtained a $200,000 verdict against Equifax for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.*
    • In 2010, I obtained a $95,000 verdict against TRS Home Furnishings for violations of the Oregon Unlawful Debt Collection Practices Act and related claims.
