About Us

KJJ 20110722 26180Are you looking for a Corvallis Lawyer ? With over 70 years of collective legal and trial experience, Nelson & MacNeil is recognized as one of the most trusted and experienced plaintiff’s law firms in the Willamette Valley. We pride ourselves in protecting the rights of individuals and obtaining fair compensation. Nelson & MacNeil is one of the few Willamette Valley-based law firms solely specializing in plaintiff litigation. Each attorney thoroughly examines every case and only accepts cases with merit.

All of our cases are prepared as though they are headed for trial. Years of trial experience, however, have taught us that the best resolution to your case often does not occur at trial. In fact, most clients prefer to avoid the courtroom. We do our best to use the relationships we’ve built, our experience, and our reputation to negotiate a fair and just outcome prior to trial. We only take a case to trial if we are not able to reach a fair settlement. Most claims are privately settled without filing a lawsuit.

Dan1After practicing for a while, attorneys can easily forget why their clients came to see them. When a client walks through our doors we understand that some significant event has brought you to us. These events can change the course of your life physically, mentally, at work, and most importantly with your family. These events, all too often, will define a period in your life. In a worst-case scenario these events can affect you for the rest of your life.

We understand that some significant event has brought you to us, and that you may be going through a difficult time. We also know that when coping with an injury or the loss of a loved one, the last thing you need is to worry about whether an insurance company will treat you fairly. That’s why our focus is on you: guiding you through the legal process, dealing with the insurance companies, and handling the paperwork so you can focus on more important things. Your only job is to focus on the future while we take care of the rest.
