Johnston Law Firm PC

Editorial Verdict

Why Choose Johnston Law Firm PC?

Johnston Law Firm has built a Portland personal-injury practice on volume that translates to expertise — 800+ cases handled by a single principal is rare and meaningful. Marc Johnston's membership in the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum is a peer-recognized trial credential, not a marketing badge. The firm focuses on serious injury and wrongful death — cases where insurance companies fight back hard and credible trial readiness drives settlement values. Best fit for a Portland-area motor vehicle accident, truck or motorcycle wreck, defective product injury, or catastrophic injury where the case may need to be tried, not just settled.

What Clients Say

Pamela R.

Wrongful Death · I-5

★★★★★

Lost my husband in a commercial truck collision. Marc and his team handled the case from intake through settlement with care and ferocity. Got a result that supports our family for life.

Andrew K.

Motorcycle Accident · Sandy Blvd

★★★★★

Hit by a delivery van. Insurance offered me a fraction of my medical bills. Johnston's team filed suit, deposed the driver, and we settled for nearly seven figures.

Diane W.

Defective Medical Device

★★★★★

Hip implant failed and required revision surgery. The firm joined the MDL, kept me informed throughout, and we recovered through the bellwether settlement matrix.

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

How long do I have to file an Oregon injury claim?

Oregon's general statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of injury. Wrongful death claims must be filed within three years. Claims against government entities have notice deadlines as short as 180 days. Don't delay — evidence preservation and witness availability degrade fast.

What does 'Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum' mean?

It's an invitation-only national peer group limited to attorneys with at least one $2M+ verdict or settlement (the Million Dollar group is the entry tier). Less than 1% of U.S. attorneys qualify. It's a peer-validated credential, not a paid placement.

How does Oregon comparative fault work?

Oregon uses modified comparative fault with a 51% bar — you can recover damages as long as you're 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. The firm investigates fault aggressively before percentages are conceded.

What if my case is against a commercial truck or large company?

These cases often involve federal motor carrier safety regulations, corporate maintenance and inspection records, driver hour-of-service logs, and insurance policies that exceed individual auto coverage. The firm has experience pulling these records, deposing safety directors, and building cases that justify high-six and seven-figure recoveries.
