LAFKY & LAFKY, Kevin T. Lafky, Dori M. Brattain, Sophia K. Harris

BEWARE!!!! No communication. Despite multiple emails over 3 weeks, Ms. Brattain never replied. Not even the courtesy to say, sorry, I can't represent you. Despite over a month of attempts, NO REPLY! ZERO accountability. I submitted complaint to Oregon State Bar, and this is what they said! Dear Christopher Ewing: The Oregon State Bar Intake and Client Assistance Office (CAO) has received your correspondence inquiring about the conduct of lawyer Dora Brattain. The CAO is responsible for reviewing concerns regarding lawyers in Oregon. Under Oregon State Bar Rule of Procedure 2.5 and as resources permit, CAO determines the manner and extent of review required to decide whether sufficient evidence has been submitted to support a reasonable belief that lawyer misconduct may have occurre

Horrible service. Sophia K Harris one of the lawyers here did not show up to the first court date in person claims she was “sick” cool so she shows up via phone. Second court date comes around and shows up at the wrong court house. Leaving a client by himself at the correct court house. Judge was upset and even got her in trouble for it. Finally Shows up to the third one. Fourth court date comes around and client is greeted by a completely new lawyer. No notification or heads up whatsoever on behalf of the office. We pay too much to receive this type of service money & Time wasted. Would not recommend this office.

Absolute rancid communication. No urgency even though Emergency is of the matter in my case and it’s known. Furthermore they offer a hybrid contract so they can really cash out big but it’s very unusual because they will take money out of your restitution, as well as the hourly pay. You’ll be wise not to go through these guys, because I think They will make your life harder and worse on your case. At least that’s my experience so far.

I did not reach out to this attorney based on not only the many low rated reviews but also after doing a little research I found this attorney was reprimanded a few years ago for ethics violations. Be advised, the Oregon State Bar is referring this attorney when using their Attorney Referral Service online. I’m glad I double checked before reaching out to them.

I had a great experience with Lafky and Lafky law firm. I was looking for a lawyer to help me review an employment contract. In the first consultation I worked with Dori Brattain and she quickly helped me understand what I needed to know about my contract and if there were any concerns. Dori was easy to talk to and very personable. I would highly recommend their services.
