Phil was a great help! I live in Ohio and needed a lawyer out of state, not only was he willing to help but he went above and beyond to make my situation as easy as possible. Very responsive and professional would definitely recommend.

-Joseph Domon

I found the Wasley Law Office while searching the Oregon State website.  He was recommended as a great firm that could give advice. Phil responded quickly to my request for help and offered his services to help settle my late mother’s estate.  He worked with my mom’s bank out of state, her landlord and the state of Oregon (which were all unforeseen complications) confidently and without trouble. Phil was always quick to respond to my emails or phone calls and patiently walked me through the process of being head of the estate.  He stayed confident and promised he would “work it all out”  even when things got sticky.  He and his staff were professional, timely and kind even when I made mistakes.  I would recommend their team to anyone looking for help navigating law issues in Oregon. 

-Pamela Lauer

Our family had a legal issue in the LaGrande, OR area. Phil was most patient and thorough in helping us to resolve the situation.

-Gary Frutkoff

I used Philip Wasley to navigate my mother’s estate. Mr. Wasley really helped take away a lot of the worry, as we had to go through the court system to resolve my mother’s estate. Philip did a great job of explaining every step of the way. I felt confident in the work he provided me. He went above and beyond to get the job done. I highly recommend this fine lawyer.

“To whom it may concern,

I’m writing this to let you know how Mr. Phillip Wasley has provided me with courteous and professional representation regarding a licensing matter. He handled my concerns with empathy and attention to detail. He knew exactly how to work with the courts to ensure I received the legal representation I deserved. Communication was always on time and clear.  I would highly recommend him.”

–Vaughn Winkler

“Over the course of several months I worked with Mr. Phil Wasley in regards to my Marijuana DUII case in La Grande, Oregon. Through phone contact leading up to the trial, I developed an understanding of his honesty and professionalism as well as a pervading earnestness that I inferred quickly. I felt confident I was being helped, well represented and given genuine attention. Regardless of the verdict, a client wants to believe that they are being represented well. During the trial I could not have been happier with Mr. Wasley’s demeanor and delivery. I felt he didn’t bore the jury and was clear and thorough. He also brought in two expert witnesses to testify on my behalf who were knowledgeable, qualified, and great people. They were of immense help in fortifying the case with depth and a human element that was genuine, something Phil embodied throughout the case. His secretary was studious and kind, his methods intelligent, regimented, and straightforward. Communication was easy and enjoyable, not arduous or burdensome. I would recommend Phil Wasley to anyone seeking legal counsel and hope our paths cross under different circumstances.”

–Miles Laven

“Phil Wasley is the first person I would contact with a legal question or problem. He was calm, confident, straight forward, knowledgeable, and honest. We were referred to Mr. Wasley’s office by the Oregon Bar Association when we requested a referral for a lawyer who dealt with filing lawsuits against municipalities. Phil predicted the process, the length of time, and the outcome with impressive accuracy. He helped me stay motivated to accomplish what I needed to and he did it in a professional and appropriate way. He carefully encouraged me to do the leg work I could to help keep the cost down. The back and forth with the city and finding witnesses took around 19 months, but he got them to pay us what they owed for the damage to our home. We were impressed by how economical it was to have him representing us for that long of a period. It was worth every dime and we appreciate his hard work and representation.”

–Ryan Zach

“Phil expertly negotiated a great price for the sale of my farm land, patiently explaining all the details, which otherwise would have been overwhelming, and followed through in a timely manner every step the way.  He exceeded my expectations and made the process easy for me.  I highly recommend Phil to anyone looking for an attorney who works hard, respects your time and money, and takes care of business.”

–Mary Billerbeck

“I first learned of Phil Wasley was from an engineer who was helping me manage an issue with a tenant in a commercial building. The second time I enlisted Mr. Wasley’s help was regarding a difficult breach of contract issue. Both times I prevailed. Phil Wasley’s professionalism and forthright communication kept us on track in handling delicate situations in a small community.”

–Linda Haynes

“My case was so old, the court had trouble finding the records. It spanned decades, jurisdictions, and court systems. I did not believe anyone would be able to help me. I did not think it would be cleared up within my lifetime. Even though Phil contacted me at every stage to apprise me of the status, I was nevertheless stunned when he called me with the great news that he had resolved the matter forever. I am still in disbelief, but I will be eternally grateful. Thank you Phil Wasley!”

–Adam

–Pat Bergey

He goes the extra mile to help his clients get through painful and difficult legal matters that the common man or woman wouldn’t even know where to start when dealing with the law. I am so grateful that he has been on my side and helped me when it seemed for a while that I was going to lose. This is not the first time that he has blessed me with his knowledge and tenacious determination to right what is wrong in the legal system and I am so very thankful to know him.”

–Jeanne E. Smithe

“We have appreciated Phil’s work in representing us in our recent action involving the Oregon Land Use of Appeals. We particularly like his care in understanding the nuances of the situation, both from our point of view and also that of the City Council which passed the onerous legislation to which we objected. We were impressed with the amount of time in which he spent listening to us and answering questions. His communications with the respondent’s attorney alleviated potential misunderstandings and facilitated speed of action. Phil was prompt and businesslike in all actions that he undertook on our behalf. We look forward to having him represent us again.”

–Don & Gilberta Lieuallen

“In 2015, we had the opportunity to have Phil Wasley represent us in a civil jury trial, in which our side prevailed. I found Mr. Wasley to be very well informed and prepared. He did his research and contacted experts where needed. He presented the jury with clear and indisputable arguments, all of which helped us win our case. Should the need ever arise that I would need to hire and attorney, I would contact Phil Wasley for those needs.”

–Claudia & Dan Robbins

“I think Phil is the best attorney ever. He did a great job on my case. I would recommend him to anyone!”

–Jason Beers

“Phil Wasley is an outstanding attorney and a fine person with strong ethics. His knowledge of the law is beyond that of most attorneys and his insight and sense of strategy are keen. Perhaps Phil’s best quality, however, is his courage–he is not afraid to take on unpopular cases and guides his clients through even the most adverse circumstances. Phil represented me in a two-and-one-half-week jury trial where the Plaintiff was asking for $25 million in damages for conduct I did not commit. In the end, because of Phil’s representation, the jury saw through the Plaintiff’s claims and awarded her nothing.”

–Rob Davis

“We were overwhelmed at the beginning, never having dealt with a probate before. Through my job at Albertsons, I was given a referral for a probate lawyer in Beaverton, to whom I made an appointment. By the time I left their office, I was overwhelmed and even more stressed. Their office made it sound as if it would be really difficult to do this probate and would cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. They also made me feel like they didn’t have the time or interest to take this on. So frustrated, I called my Albertson’s contact center again, explaining that I felt I should be dealing with a lawyer based in Union County, where the property is located that is involved in probate. They then referred me to your office, and what a difference. You settled my mind at our first conversation, and was able to do the probate at a much more reasonable price and a lot less hassle on our end. The probate is now finished, and everyone is happy with the results. I would recommend your office to anyone needing assistance with probate or otherwise.”

–Becky Boettcher and the Stanton Family

“In a world where one move, whether intended or not, can land you in a legal battle, a multidisciplined and competent attorney is both needed and hard to find. Mr. Wasley has represented me in a land dispute, family law case, estate, and wills. A small issue gets complicated quickly, and the faster you get a fair, honest and reputable attorney on your team, the better off you will be. Call Mr. Wasley and you’ll be on your way to sorting out whatever your legal hassles may be.”

–Jeremiah Sprague

“My name is Kerri Rynearson and in October 2014, I needed a lawyer to help assist with my Aunt’s estate. I contacted Mr. Wasley, who was very friendly and personable, and explained my situation. I live on the other side of the country and needed someone to expedite this process without me being in town. I flew out there once to get the process started and that was it. Mr. Wasley and Aubrey, his legal assistant, were extremely helpful in explaining all the things I needed to know. They answered my questions I had without hesitation and they kept in constant contact throughout the process. I would recommend his services to anyone that needs a great lawyer.”

–Kerri Rynearson

“Phil Wasley is a case law expert, there is no doubt about that. He’s a winner, he does not get intimidated by larger firms or threatening DA’s. He stands his ground within any courtroom or Arbitration hearing with facts and case law. Insurance companies work on the model of diminished returns and they don’t want to pay anything…Mr. Philip Wasley does not accept that. He does not give in to these Big Wig Powerful Attorneys…he’s a fighter and it pays off. I would hire him again in a second…Honest to God. He has the experience and the know-how. It shows. Thank you again Phil.”

-Travis

“It was a refreshing experience working with attorney Philip Wasley. He is an attorney with integrity and honesty and who had my best interest in bringing closure to an estate that had been poorly handled. He charged reasonable attorney rates and was a pleasure to work with. It was appreciated that he was prompt in responding to my emails and communicated very effectively. Attorney Philip Wasley, comes with high recommendations for a job well done!”

Dear Phil Wasley & Walsey Law Office:

Thank you so very much for your assistance with my parent’s estate.  As my first time as a personal representative you were so very helpful in assisting with this process.  You were so very thoughtful with both my parents in completing their wills and then years later when it was time to handle the estate.  Even though you were in a different part of the state it was very easy to work thru the process thru telephone and emails. 

I appreciate the time you took to explain the process and what needed to be done.  You also were available to answer questions that I had.  You were also patient and kept in contact while we were working on selling their home which took a while.  You called and kept in touch to assist in any way you could to move things forward.   You offered options and suggestions which was greatly appreciated.  You listened to what I had to say, and gave me options and left the door to make changes if I changed my mind.  I really appreciated the open communication.

 Your ability to send documents thru email and then I was able to sign and mail back to you was efficient.

Thanks again so very much for making this process easy and carrying out my parent’s final wishes.

-Deanne Sams
