Bevans & Cooper LLC

DO NOT USE Russell Bevans. He provided incorrect information to me, but my case should be the least of your concerns. Google his name and your first page of results should be filled with articles about his negligence, malpractice suits, and multiple suspensions of his license to be able to practice law in the state of Oregon. His office and personal appearance provide an immediate feeling of discomfort when you expect to be meeting with a professional. He didn't remember the laws that he claimed to know so he looked them up while we met. I felt so unsure of what he said that I went to see another attorney. It turns out the laws that I watched him read he still did not understand. I walked away from his office with advice to present self incriminating evidence to a judge. Additionally, he told me to ask for more money than I should have which made me look like I had not properly prepared myself for my court case. I hope this serves as a warning to all that consider going with a cut rate attorney. I should have known that my $35 initial consult would only give me what I paid for or less. I called to request my money back and when he finally took my fourth call he flat out refused claiming that he has been doing this for well over 30 years and that he did not give me any wrong information. BEWARE.

Never responds to calls or emails. Strings you along for months while collecting money from you but then doesn’t actually follow through with being your lawyer. He wasted several months of both mine and his time. I feel like he just wanted a quick buck while slowly deciding he actually wouldn’t take my case.

The lady that answered the phone is VERY very rude. I asked her if I could pay with card because I don’t live in the same town and she made me feel retarded for even asking. Interrupted me while I was speaking. Said if I didn’t do money order or cash I needed to get a different attorney. WOW!!

Just called... literally. Your secretary needs an attitude adjustment and needs to be taught she chases away YOUR paying customers. I was referred to YOU! Sad really.... Won't be calling back.

Michael L. Cooper, Esq. was very knowledgeable, thoughtful, communicative, concise and empathethetic. I am very grateful to him and would highly recommend him.

Russell Bevans gives great advice, and was very helpful. He is professional, and very understanding. Highly recommended.
