Who We Are
A Portland Area Lawyer Who Helps Ill and Injured People
My name is Sara Gabin. I am a Portland area lawyer helping ill and injured people obtain Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, Workers' Compensation benefits and Personal Injury recoveries.
I will listen to your situation and advise you candidly about the strengths and weaknesses of your case and the strategy to follow. I am not afraid to be the "messenger." This means, I believe most cases have good and strong points and you deserve my candid opinion. I will tell you what I think you need to hear, not what I think you want to hear.
If we form an attorney/client relationship, I will help you navigate the legal process involved in your case. Because you have no time to lose, I will proceed as fast as possible without sacrificing thoroughness. I will not stop working for you until after I have gone as far as I can to obtain the best outcome for you.
My Experience and Qualifications
I have been a member of the Oregon Bar since 1981 and have been helping injured and disabled people in the Portland Metropolitan area ever since to obtain the recovery they deserve. At least half of my business comes from the friends and relatives of my former clients.
I graduated from the University of Michigan in 1978 with a BA in Economics, and from Willamette University in 1981 with a Juris Doctor (JD).
In addition to the Oregon State Bar and Federal District Court for the District of Oregon, I am a member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR), the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA), and the Oregon Workers’ Compensation Association (OWCA).
My Commitment to You.
When you are my client, you come first. When you choose me as your lawyer, I will not stop working until I have exhausted every legal avenue available to get the benefits or recovery you should receive.
I know your legal matter is important and urgent and it would be my privilege to serve you. I invite you to learn more about my law firm and my practice areas.
Get a Free Consultation
Contact me for a free telephone consultation about your Social Security Disability, Supplemental Security Income, Personal Injury or Workers' Compensation claim. After we chat, I will have a fairly good idea whether I can help you. If I think I can help, I will invite you to schedule an in-person appointment. Then, we can interview one another before agreeing to form an attorney/client relationship.
Fees
Fees for my time are strictly contingent. That means I get paid only if you receive benefits or a recovery. Fees are set by law according to the type of case and we would sign a fee agreement that specifies how fees are paid. I invite you to learn more about fees by visiting my practice areas.
