Alright this is a bit tough but this is the situation that I find myself in.
I won't go into great details online but I got very bad news when my MRI results came in Tuesday and my general practitioner labeled me "disabled". Apparently that was optimistic because one day later the neurosurgeon scheduled an appointment. (their time is valuable they don't say please come in for coffee) Me being a mechanically inclined type, looking at the MRI images and listening to his Johns Hopkins University expertise.... well, basically I'm screwed. When its all done I hope I can still hunt.
So
Can anybody refer a Portland area attorney? This is life changing. I want someone that's very, no, extremely good. Someone that knows Oregon disability and workmans comp law in and out and puts clients interests at least on par with theirs.
I got some metal right in the pupil of my left eye (the good eye btw) years ago and although workmans comp and Oregon SAFE accepted the claim I've never received so much as a reimbursement for glasses. I still get the same bureaucratic runaround everytime I get new glasses. It hasn't and will never focus no matter the prescription, it's done, fini. Cheap, no caring bastiges. I can't sit back and hope justice is going to happen this time.
I'm the guy who worked two full time jobs to move us up here from the spotted owl economies and then put a badly chosen wife through six years of a four year nursing degree. Never, ever, been on the dole. I fully understand that this is a detriment for disability acceptance..
If only I were a never working, urine soaked, drug abusing, obese ex con.....
