When you are searching for a personal injury lawyer in Oregon, one of the first questions you probably ask is, “How will I be treated?” It is a fair concern. Many people have seen law firms on television that seem impersonal or too corporate, and that can feel intimidating. At Dwyer Williams Cherkoss, we have built our reputation by doing things differently.

A Personal Approach to Every Case

Some firms manage hundreds of cases at once. When an attorney has 150 clients, how can they really get to know each person? We intentionally keep our caseloads small. This allows us to build genuine, lasting relationships with our clients. When we know you well, we can better represent you and fight harder for the recovery you deserve.

We see the attorney–client relationship as a partnership. You are not just a case number. When we work with you, it feels like working with a teammate and often like working with a friend. That connection makes us even more invested in achieving the best possible outcome.

Respecting Your Preferences

Every client is different. Some prefer regular phone calls, while others want communication strictly by email. We respect your preferences and adapt to your comfort level. But many of our clients appreciate that we take the time to check in on them. We might call and ask, “How is your recovery going? How are your kids? How is the car holding up?” These are not just small talk questions. They show that we genuinely care about your well-being beyond the legal process.

Why Relationships Matter in Personal Injury Cases

Strong relationships lead to stronger outcomes. When you feel comfortable with your attorney, you are more open about your experiences, your injuries, and the ways your life has been affected. That openness allows us to build a more compelling case on your behalf.

By keeping our caseloads low, we are able to dig deeper into the details of your situation. We can gather more evidence, communicate more effectively, and fight harder against insurance companies. That attention and emotional investment can make a significant difference in the result of your case.

A Different Kind of Firm

We know many firms say they are “different.” We mean it. To work at Dwyer Williams Cherkoss, lawyers and staff must have the right skills and the right personality. We turn down applicants who are not a good fit for our culture of compassion, connection, and dedication. We want attorneys and staff who see clients not only as people who need legal help, but also as people they would be proud to call friends.

This mindset sets us apart and allows us to create an environment where clients feel supported, heard, and respected. It is why so many people throughout Oregon trust us with their personal injury cases.

Treated Like Family

At the end of the day, the best way to describe how we treat our clients is simple: like friends and like family. You will never feel like just another file in a stack. You will feel heard, valued, and supported through one of the most challenging times in your life.
