Attorney Information

Overview

Karen Schoenfeld graduated from St. Johns University School of Law in New York City. After working on Wall Street, she moved to Portland, Oregon to pursue her life’s passions. Since 1992 she has dedicated her professional time to representing the rights of those who are seriously injured in accidents through no fault of their own. She has successfully represented over the years, literally thousands of injury victims from all over the country. While most of her cases were settled with the adverse party’s insurance company, she has also tried many cases over the years to a jury. She strongly believes that part of being a trial lawyer means going to trial when it is necessary to protect the full rights of her clients. She is proud of both her settlements and her large jury verdicts.

Karen also has a side specialty of suing her client’s PIP carriers when they refuse to pay for their medical bills. She gets referrals from doctors and clients because of her aggressive position with regard to insurance companies. When not practicing law, Karen enjoys spending time with her family, painting, reading, cross country skiing, and riding her bicycle in the Columbia River gorge area. She recently organized, along with some friends, a group called the SheBikes dedicated to exploring, on bike, the wonders of the Pacific Northwest.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
