We are trial lawyers. In the past 20 years, Kafoury & McDougal have tried more than 100 jury trials in Oregon. We have also handled cases in Hawaii, Washington, Alabama, Arkansas, and the District of Columbia. We have maintained class actions against Oregon’s largest utilities. We have established key legal precedents in the appellate courts, and have provided free legal services in First Amendment, civil rights, and activist cases. We only represent people, never corporations or insurance companies. Those who believe they have been wronged can consult us without charge.
If we believe that your cause is just, we will do what it takes to get justice for you. Unlike many lawyers – especially those who advertise for injury cases – if the other side refuses to negotiate in good faith, we will take your case to trial to enforce your rights, whether it is a large case or a small one. Insurance companies know that we are serious people, and our clients’ settlements reflect this.
Our commitment to justice extends beyond cases involving compensation. All of us have been deeply involved in struggles for free speech, racial and economic justice, and resistance to corporate domination. We work for police accountability, independent candidates, environmental protection, and Greg Kafoury & Mark McDougal were also instrumental in forcing the closure of the Trojan Nuclear Plant.
