Trusted advocacy, northwest values

Who we are

For over two decades, the Law Office of Dean Gibbons has been proud to serve greater Portland and the Central Oregon area. Our diverse practice is built from the ground up and extends from the Willamette to the Three Sisters. Indeed, we share the same schools and bike trails, we sit next to each other and enjoy the same restaurants and pubs, we share the same Northwest values that set us apart. And since 1991 we’ve been honing our expertise in such areas as insurance and personal injury disputes, elder law, as well as probate and estate planning. If we can’t resolve your legal issue we also have an excellent network of lawyers that stretches across the Cascades as well. The personal attention and care we provide each client not only sets us apart but truly binds us to our Northwest community. Give us a call and let us work for you.

“I have worked with Dean as opposing counsel and I consider him a worthy, highly skilled opponent. He goes the extra mile to get the best possible result for his clients. One of the things I admire most about him is his direct, effective style. He cuts to the chase and gets things done in an efficient, no-nonsense manner. He is also just a downright great guy who is a pleasure to work with.”

Gretchen L. Mandekor, Esq.

In 2012, my car was rear-ended in a severe collision. My wife, my mother in-law and I all sustained injuries. It was a very stressful time. After we spoke with Dean Gibbons and his associate Emerson Lenon, we found comfort and peace of mind. Dean shows a genuine empathy for his clients and worked swiftly and precisely to provide us with a very positive outcome in our case. I would not hesitate to recommend Dean Gibbons to anybody seeking legal assistance.

I would highly recommend hiring Dean Gibbons. When he represented me when I was hit by a car, I found him to be very responsive to phone calls and emails. He kept me well informed throughout the entire process. I was somewhat uncertain as to whether to hire an attorney at all but without his help I would have received a much smaller settlement. With his assistance we collected 97% of the available policy limits and I felt that he had earned his fee. The initial offer from the insurance company was 32% of their policy limit as their best and final offer. Without his assistance I would have been tempted take this but with his experience he was able to collect close to the maximum available.

I’m so glad that Jack and I got to know Dean Gibbons. He helped us and we thank him so much for that. And when I lost my husband he was there and helped me at the most difficult time in my life. I think he is an awesome person and a great attorney and I don’t think he will ever change. Thank God for that and for Dean Gibbons. I consider him a friend as well as an attorney…
