In 2019 my mother was seen and treated in the emergency department of a local hospital. During that visit she was diagnosed with a kidney stone, and despite her abnormal lab results indicating a possible infection, she was discharged home. Two days later she was in a coma in the ICU dying from septic shock- a systemic infection that originated in her kidney and spread to her bloodstream. Her chances of survival were slim to none but miraculously she survived. Unfortunately, the damage septic shock caused to her body had already been done and she needed to have amputations of her necrotic feet, hand, and fingertips. Her physical pain, mental anguish, and long term suffering could have potentially been prevented if the infection had been properly diagnosed and treated in the emergency department two days prior.
This heartbreaking event is what lead us to seek out legal representation with Paulson and Coletti Trial Attorneys PC.
Jane and her assistant Jenny were an absolute pleasure to work with. Jenny kept in frequent communication with me through emails and answered all my questions throughout the whole process. Jane was transparent and honest about the difficulties we faced in these type of cases but that didn’t deter her from wanting to fight for my Mom. Jane was flexible, accommodating, and supportive in every possible way.
When my Mom’s case went to trial, Mr. John Coletti joined in to help defend my Mom. Watching both Jane and John in the courtroom was incredibly inspiring. Their vast knowledge, skill, and decades of experience was undeniable. Jane and John are top tier trial attorneys and extraordinary humans. Jane and John are trustworthy people with good intentions, they will not steer you in the wrong direction. They are amazing advocates and in the end they made my parents feel seen, heard, empowered, and worthy of protection.
I do not know if there are words that can fully express the deep gratitude I have for Jane, John , and the whole Paulson Coletti team. In all honesty, a 5 star review doesn’t adequately reflect the remarkable representation Jane Paulson and John Coletti provided on behalf of my Mom in her medical malpractice case. If I had the power to gift them with all the stars in the universe, I would, because that is the rating they deserve!
Thank you Jane, John, Jenny, and Marni for helping us close this difficult chapter in our lives. Your efforts have given us the strength to heal and that has been the greatest...
Read moreI have been a paralegal in the Portland (and Seattle) legal communities for over 30 years, working both for plaintiff and defense firms. Unfortunately, I recently had occasion to need a lawyer to represent me with regard to an injury I suffered. Because of my work, I know a number of plaintiff attorneys in Portland, but the only person/firm I wanted to have represent me was Jane Paulson of Paulson Coletti because of my familiarity with and respect for her and her firm developed over years of professional interaction with them. Jane settled my case professionally and satisfactorily -- without Jane’s legal expertise and the work of her staff, I do not believe the result would have been as expedient. For this, and for their advocacy, I have nothing but respect and gratitude. As a legal professional and now also as a client, I cannot say enough about this firm’s competence and professionalism both in representing their clients and in their dealings with attorneys on the opposite side. They are great and fair advocates and I believe well thought of by their peers in the legal community. I feel fortunate to have been represented by a firm with deep legal experience that can effectively assess a case and has the integrity to look after the best interests of the clients they agree to represent. Jane Paulson epitomizes this ethic and I would not hesitate to recommend her, or anyone...
Read moreJohn Coletti is the finest attorney I have ever worked with. John was recommended to me by a dear friend, who is a top trial attorney in the United States. She told me that John Coletti was the best attorney she knew and she was right. John is professional, extremely caring, he listens intently, he is readily available and treats you as if you are his is only client. John is realistic and honest about his expectations regarding your case. I was involved in a rear end collision and reherniated a disc requiring a second surgery in three months. The Covid pandemic prolonged resolution of my case but John stayed on top of it and kept me informed. Unexpectedly, I received a phone call telling me that they were about to settle my case and wanted my input. I never expected such a reasonable resolution to my case. I owe it all to John because he is the best advocate that I could’ve had. I’m going to have long-term disability and John was very concerned for my well-being, looked out for my interests and was indeed a great advocate for me. I will never be able to thank John enough for his professionalism and...
