Claessens Law

After an unexpected and traumatic experience at the Portland VA in 2016, I hired Greg Claessens as my lawyer for a mental health related FTCA Medical Malpractice case. Going up against the Department of Veterans Affairs felt like a David versus Goliath situation. It was intensely stressful at times but I was always glad that I had Mr. Claessens on my side. He is the type of person you’d be lucky to have as a friend or a mentor. Mr. Claessens has a good sense of humor and is easy to get along with. I consider him to be very trauma and mental health informed. He is knowledgeable, empathetic, and a good listener. He will tell you when he doesn’t know something or is not confident and will try to find you the answer. I found him to be very patient and a good communicator. He always worked with my limitations and did a very good job handling unexpected or new situations. Mr. Claessens always kept our case files and deadlines very organized so we had the best chance of success. I always felt informed on what was going on and where things were at. Mr. Claessens always went way above and beyond to explain the legal process to me, our options, potential outcomes and next steps. I felt like I was part of the legal team and like my opinions mattered and had weight. My case ended up going to trial and after four days of witness testimony, the Judge ruled in our favor. We would not have been victorious if it was not for all the hard work and dedication Mr. Claessens put into my case. He read through thousands of pages of my medical records, military records, VA policy and other documents to fully understand my life and situation in immense detail so we were prepared. Working with Mr. Claessens for 4+ years on my case helped me reduce some of my trauma based fears. I feel like I had positive growth that would not have been possible with a different lawyer. If you want a lawyer that is trustworthy, hardworking, and honest - who cares about helping people, then you should consider contacting Greg Claessens of Claessens Law.
