Hired Attorney 2020Our experience with Fitzwater Law, specifically Theressa Hollis was exemplary. We had a family member in crisis last year who was living in a different state than us. Our initial law firm was not a good fit as they definitely were not experienced in the area of guardianship, resulting in an overly complicated and extremely expensive solution. We finally reached the point where we could no longer work with them, requiring a change of representation. After an extensive search, we contacted Theressa and boy, what a difference! She understood exactly what the situation was and offered such knowledgeable and competent advice that we had no qualms retaining her services. She has guided us through the process and we have been beyond blessed to have found her. Please consider her and her firm should you need legal expertise in a situation involving guardianship or conservatorship. We will never forget her steady hand guiding us through a truly terrifying time.

Hired Attorney 2019-2020A family member over a year ago experienced a severe mental reaction to a RX prescribed. The individual was put in a secured facility for mental patients. We lived in another state which made helping very difficult. We initially contacted a family law firm that specialized in this area. Not knowing what caused the problem at this time we sought a Guardianship to protect the family member. The firm recommended were very costly and achieved nothing. This firm's attitude was this is how the system works. We subsequently learned that a bad reaction to a RX likely caused the problem. Through a detailed web-based search, we found Fitzwater Law in Portland, OR. We worked with Theressa Hollis who was fantastic. She immediately understood our issues and provided a game plan. If you have a family member that may need a guardianship or conservatorship or related problems be sure to contact Fitzwater Law. Our family will never forget their help at a time we thought help may be impossible.

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.
