Mike and his staff were nothing short of awesome. They were patient and kind during a very stressful time, recovering from a pretty traumatic leg injury from a scooter accident. They did more for me in 1 week than my insurance company did for me in 2. They found the witness to my accident and because of that, they were able to secure the maximum settlement.

I am grateful and thankful for Mike, Lehab and everyone at Mike Colbach Law.

Two years ago, as I was riding my motorcycle, on my year long journey from Chile to Canada, I got very badly injured. After over 35,000 miles, my journey was abruptly interrupted, as a distracted truck driver failed to yield and cut the road a few meters ahead of me. Just like that, in a second, everything was over. I was then flown to hospital, had four surgeries, stayed for a month and spent months in a wheelchair after being flown back home, in Belgium.

That's when Mike Colbach and his team got in. I couldn't have been more lucky. For over 6 months, he worked on my case 7 days a week. He did everything in his power to make things right and as fair as they could get (including flying over to freezing and rainy Belgium in winter for depositions). I will never thank him enough. Not only for his and his amazing crew's unparalleled professionalism, but also and perhaps even more for his help and moral support, on a more human level, when I most needed it.

No wonder why he constantly gets great reviews and is the best personal injury lawyer in Oregon!

Words can't really do justice to the service, expertise, and results that Mike and his staff deliver. In an ideal world, you'd never have to battle an insurance company to get some semblance of a fair result. The unfortunate reality is that it's just not good business for insurance companies to offer fair settlements out of the gate. I had no idea just how unfair the offer would be. Despite 10's of thousands of dollars in lost wages, permanent nerve damage in my arm and hand, permanent joint damage in both of my shoulders, permanent disc damage to my spine, and what I would consider to be a significant amount of pain (not to mention the inconvenience of participating in a court case and trying to get back to work ASAP), GEICO was gracious enough to offer $5k.

I was shocked.

Mike wasn't.

The worst part about these sorts of insulting settlement offers is that you have to find the will and determination to fight for a better result when things are probably already fairly busy/challenging/inconvenient due to the initial incident/accident that caused your injuries. I was confident in my ability to make a very good case in arbitration, but the prospect of yet another tedious, drawn-out process in response to my accident wasn't unequivocally worth the frustration and time.

That's where Mike comes in. From the moment I gave him the info he needed to proceed, I really didn't have to lift a finger. I was really shocked at just how little input he needed from me. He kept me posted as much or as little as I wanted, and was never more than email or phone call away to answer a question.

While I really appreciated just how little effort I had to put in, I was skeptical that the best possible outcome could be achieved as a result. The check I just got in the mail suggests I was VERY wrong. If I hadn't experienced this process firsthand, I would have assumed it was a bit too good to be true. For the record, I had the state minimum policy, so this wasn't some insane amount of money and couldn't even begin to make up for what happened to me. It was a matter of PRINCIPLE. No one wants to feel like they're getting taken advantage of by the evil empire and that they're powerless to fight back.

Mike understands, agrees, and says that's why he does what he does. He's not some frivolous ambulance chaser, but rather, a consummate professional who is dedicated to fighting for what's right and for what his clients truly deserve. I sincerely hope I never need someone to help me fight this sort of fight again, but if I do, Mike and his team are the only people I'd want in my corner.

I have now been represented by Mike for two separate cases after I had been hit by cars while I was riding my bike. His knowledge and experience was indispensable when dealing with the at fault driver’s insurance companies and the PIP claims. He and his staff are professional, kind and willing to answer any questions. I highly recommend him as legal counsel.

Mike and I have worked together referring business for years so when I got into a serious accident, I knew I had the case won. After a tender and demand, Mike successfully arbitrated my case for an award 15 times that which was initially offered by the carrier. This was no simple red light green light matter, with complicated economic damages and coverage issues. I have referred Colbach to friends and family for years and will continue.

Mr. Colbach responded neither to phone calls or email, as suggested by his receptionist. Admins didn't identify themselves without being asked, a bad sign for any office. I would look elsewhere.

He has helped my family extensively. He really is a specialist in bike law and pedestrian law too. My mom was hit by a car and his staff along with him took care of it leaving our family to concentrate on having my mom heal. I can't thank his staff and him enough. On top of that, he got a very nice settlement too. His negotiating skills are top notch!

Luck had it, I got into a bike accident myself. Who came to my rescue? This law firm. I got to see him and his staff do the magic again and also get a fantastic settlement! This firm is the best! Thank you forever!

Mike Colbach represented me in a lawsuit against a contractor who had severely injured me. Mike was both professional and proactive. From my first interaction with Mike and his team, I knew that I was in good hands. He explained my case and the process extremely thoroughly and kept me abreast of updates as they happened. His team dealt with the insurance companies and gave me tremendous peace of mind as I recovered so I could concentrate of just getting better. Through the deposition process, Mike fought hard to defend my interests and through the mediation process, Mike negotiated ferociously to secure the best possible settlement for me and my family. I would highly recommend Mike Colbach to anyone in need of a Personal Injury Attorney. Every victim needs an advocate like Mike in their corner.

I've been opposing counsel. These guys are G is at what they do.

I recently used Mike and his team due to a motorcycle accident that I was injured in. I can't say enough about the professionalism and level of knowledge that Mike brought to the table. Without Mike at the helm of this incident there is no way I would have been fairly treated. He's very objective and clear with what the possible outcomes could be. I knew what to expect down to each and every detail. I have heard too many horror stories where people close to me have had to deal with getting the short end of the stick. Each time I hear one of these stories I can confidently say that if they had Mike as their council, their outcome would have had been different. I only wish others out there whom are currently seeking an attorney would have the ability to connect with Mike and run their case by him. He is a stand up attorney, his experience and reputation alone speaks for itself. If you have a problem I would not hesitate to contact him.

Michael Colbach terminated his representation of us in an auto accident case in a completely unprofessional manner. With no calls or discussions he stated that since we were not interested in resolving this matter and we wanted too much money he was terminating his representation. When, in fact, we were following his advise regarding settlement and had never mentioned how much money we wanted. He handled this in a completely unprofessional manner and cannot recommend him. He also showed very little interest in dealing with us directly. Everything was done through his assistant. The only time he met with us was for a few minutes before a deposition.

My son was burned in an accident just over a year ago. Mike was instrumental in taking us down the right path to ensure my son got was was fair for him. He was always prompt and straight forward. I have referred clients in the past to Mike and will continue to do so. If you are even thinking about using another attorney, call and talk with Mike. He will be honest with you and give you what I feel is the best chance at being made whole again.

My husband was involved in a terrible auto accident and Mike Colbach was highly recommended by a good friend. We could not be more appreciative of all the support and work Mike and his staff provided. Quality service with a positive outcome!

After being involved in an awful bike accident and subsequent injury and treatments, Mike provided sound direction and immense help throughout the process of navigating the insurance and court issues. It could've been much more stressful, but he had it under control and got me through to a successful, positive resolution. Highly recommended!

I can not emphasize enough how helpful and happy I am with what Michael and his staff did for me after I was struck by a van while crossing the street.

Michael Colbach is a great attorney. He represented my grandmother in an accident case. He listened and was very patient. A true professional with all the skill to get the job done in a timely manner.
I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Recently I had Mike Colbach represent my wife in an auto accident.He came highly recommended and didn't let us down.
Because of the accident my wife was in the ICU at OHSU and wasn't able to talk so I worked with him.
Right away Mike took control and told me to concentrate on taking care of my wife and he would handle all the insurance issues, court filings, hospital bills etc.Also,
Mike was not one bit intimidated by one of the largest auto insurance companies in the country and in fact looked forward to the challenge of meeting them in court.......I guess they didn't like the odds and settled out of court for the full amount he demanded.
One of the more stressful things in life is dealing with a lawyer but not so with Mike.He is very approachable if you are his client and returns emails and phone calls immediately. And his staff is just as impressive too. However, if you are not his client, and you're on the opposite side of a legal battle with him......GOOD LUCK!
Finally,I don't recommend people lightly but Mike was superb.No need to look any further. Hire him.

Mike Colbach is a great attorney. My mother-in-law was involved in a horrible accident and Mike came highly recommended. My in-laws had several questions and he answered all of them, even when they would email him on the weekends, he would answer. Very fair, honest, and upfront, something you don't see a lot of today. I have a lot of respect for Mike, his great staff and they great work they do to help people. Thank you Mike for taking such great care of my in-laws.
