My case was a very involved and complex case that was made clear and simple by Lyndon and the staff at Baxter & Baxter. I highly recommend contacting Lyndon immediately. Do not waste anymore time and call now! Thanks Lyndon for you patience, reassurance and expertise. I am now able to move on after 3 years of worry and stress.

Lyndon Ruhnke and the staff at the Portland office of the firm of Baxter & Baxter provide expert legal services. From our first meeting with Lyndon, we were confident we had the right attorney representing us. Our case proceeded smoothly and the outcome was exactly as Lyndon predicted. With his kind and professional assistance, a difficult time in our life was made much easier. We recommend Lyndon without qualification.

Filing bankruptcy was something that we never thought we would have to do and it was very challenging for us to come to terms with the decision. However, Lyndon Ruhnke's guidance and encouragement throughout this process has been amazing. Every question we had, you answered. Every time we started to panic, you calmed us down.There were hundreds of attorneys we could have chosen to help us through this process, including family-recommended referrals. This is one of the main reasons we chose you:I found your firm on Google and called your office on a late Friday evening (I believe it was around 6:30pm). The call was routed directly to your cell phone and you ANSWERED the call. You were driving and you pulled over in order to talk to me. You LISTENED to my issues and addressed each one of them with professionalism and empathy. You didn't have to answer the phone as it was after normal business hours and you didn't have to spend so much time with me on an initial call.Anyway, we just

After interviewing 3 attorneys I decided to hire Lyndon. His rate was the best between all 3 interviewed but more importantly his understanding of my situation was key. My case had some odd circumstances involved, Lyndon was very good at explaining how we needed to proceed and what the courts expect to see. Lyndon provided great counseling to me on how to protect my assets and earnings. I highly recommend meeting with him at a minimum (he did my consult for free) and I think you will find yourself pleased with the outcome.

Mr. Baxter is very knowledgeable and professional. Because of his experience and skills I recently won a pretty big settlement.

From the start, Baxter and Baxter law firm got results. While I was in the office for my initial consultation, Mr. Baxter contacted the attorney for the collection agency and immediately got the false judgment vacated. It was reassuring to hear Mr. Baxter tell me that it was terrible what the collection agency had done to me. I had felt so helpless because nothing I had done had stopped these people from coming after me.Baxter and Baxter attempted to settle out of court and through mediation. But when the issues could not be resolved that way, Mr. Baxter was ready to challenge the collection agency through the court system. A jury decided in my favor with a settlement for $100,000. Baxter and Baxter represented my case with integrity, professionalism and competence. The victory was due to their diligence and knowledge of the law. I would have been lost without their help. Baxter and Baxter is a family run law firm that represents the victim with compassion and dignity.Linda W.

My wife and I never imagined needing the services of a lawyer but when the unforeseen situation became evident, we found ourselves at the law office of Baxter and Baxter.I am pleased to say that the transition from our simple lives to the complexities of the legal world was made with ease by their firm. Not only was the settlement in our favor but we were represented with dignity in the most honest and professional manner. Thank you. Huck G.

Lyndon successfully got us through a very difficult situation having both lost our jobs. He worked very hard to get our situation turned around. He was extremely knowledgeable and kind and presented us with each option clearly and patiently. He was always available to answer questions and alleviate our fears. We couldn't have done it without him. We highly recommend Lyndon and Baxter and Baxter.

We used Lyndon Ruhnke this year as our bankruptcy attorney and received exceptional service. Lyndon is professional and knowledgeable about bankruptcies. Lyndon explained the bankruptcy process and listened to us about our situation. He was informative about how to fill out the forms that were required for the bankruptcy. Whenever we had a question or did not understand the next step in the process Lyndon would always call us back or e-mail us with a response with in the same day. We were nervous about the bankruptcy and Lyndon made the experience as painless as possible. We would refer Lyndon with confidence to everyone we know that might find themselves in the same situation that we were in. We are thankful that Lyndon Ruhnke was a caring and attentive attorney

I retained Lyndon Ruhnke at this firm to handle my Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding in 2008. It was handled smoothly, professionally, and without a flaw. I was surprised how easily the process went -- the attorneys did all the work, and my stress was instantly gone after my questions/concerns were addressed at my first meeting. Ultimately, I was absolved of every bit of debt I had hanging over my head – including my mortgages – and the process went better than I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend this firm if you need bankruptcy assistance. Because of Mr. Ruhnke’s level of expertise, he can competently and easily handle the entire process and attend the hearing with you. All of your questions and concerns can be addressed at your introductory consultation. I encourage anyone needing bankruptcy assistance to seek them out first. This is a personable and hands-on firm and their rates are very fair. Thanks again, Mr. Ruhnke! P. Kelley

Having to file bankruptcy was a very difficult decision, not one that I decided on lightly. Unfortunately I did not have any other alternative and I’m very thankful that I found Lyndon Ruhnke at Baxter & Baxter. I didn’t know what to expect or what the process all included, fearful of the unknown. Lyndon put me at ease from my first appointment in the office to the last appointment in the court room. I was more than satisfied with not just Lyndon’s professional counsel but the entire staff at Baxter & Baxter. What a blessing to find such a top notch attorney and firm in such challenging time in my life. The results were everything he promised and my case was not an easy clear cut situation. I highly recommend Lyndon if you want a positive experience. Thank you Lyndon and the entire staff at Baxter & Baxter for your professionalism.

Filing bankruptcy is a difficult and often painful decision to come to. I had an exorbitant amount of medical bills and there was no way I could claw out of the black whole I was in. Lyndon Runhke was my attorney. He took me through the process swiftly and always made me feel at ease. He always responded to my questions quickly (even when they were very busy). As my case comes to a close, I would like to say that I highly recommend Baxter & Baxter, LLP. In fact, I have already told several friends who were pondering filing bankruptcy about this firm. If you live in Washington or Oregon and you have come to the same painful decision I did, these guys are the best there is. I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience during such a painful time.Sincerely,Sarah L. Smathers

I retained the services of Lyndon Ruhnke last year for the purpose of filing bankruptcy. I was nervous and clueless about the whole process. Mr. Ruhnke explained everything thoroughly, answered the myriad of questions I asked, and calmed me down every step of the way. The day I had to be in court, I was shaky and he immediately calmed me down upon his arrival. I cannot say enough about how positive my experience was with Mr. Ruhnke and his staff. If you are in need of a bankruptcy attorney, I highly recommend Lyndon Ruhnke of Baxter & Baxter. v

My experience with Lyndon Ruhnke of Baxter and Baxter was incredibly positive. Having to make the decision to file bankruptcy was difficult in and of itself, but having Lyndon on the case made everything much easier than I thought it would be.My case was probably more difficult than most people’s; I had 2 businesses, one of which I wanted to keep and was in the process of renegotiating spousal support. I was also $120 thousand dollars in debt. Lyndon’s advise and expertise helped me to get rid of all my debt and keep my sources of income. Right from my initial meeting with Lyndon, I got a true sense of his understanding and compassion for my situation. In working with him throughout the bankruptcy ending with our court date, I got to see his level of experience and expertise as I saw all of his advice working to get the results we were after. I don’t think I could have done this without him.Lyndon was always quick to return my calls and eager to answer any questions I had, no mat

Lyndon Ruhnke represented me last year in my Bankruptcy case.He was very attentive to my personal needs and answered all of my questions and concerns in a professional and timely manner. He provided the kind of representation he promised and moved my case through court very quickly. I highly recommend this law firm if your are facing bankruptcy.

My experience with Baxter & Baxter was outstanding. I am so grateful for their representation. As a victim of identity theft ranging back to the 1980s, I found myself continually fighting the credit bureaus to clean my credit report of false information. The final straw occurred when I was forced to take my name off the deed of our home because of false information on my credit report. Fortunately for me I found the law firm of Baxter & Baxter LLP who brought a case against Equifax under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. After a weeklong trial in federal court, a jury returned a verdict of $200,000. Best of all, I finally got a clean credit report. I am so appreciative of the excellent work done by Justin and Michael Baxter — not only due to the results of the lawsuit, but because of the personal and caring attention I received. I wholeheartedly recommend the legal services of Baxter & Baxter!

Good: I really liked our first meeting with Lyndon Rhunke, and that is where the goodness ended!. Bad: My lawyer messed up the case in court. So we start over, with collectors calling again, and 2 years wasted! I could never get any desent answers from anyone, just a BUNCH of broken promises, this place is a JOKE!. Improvements: they need to be shut down! DO NOT BAXTER/LYNDON RHUNKE! THEY OVER CHARGE AND DO NOT DO WHAT THEY ARE HIRED TO DO! RESEARCH AND FIND SOMEONE LOCAL!!!. Other: Please do not make the same mistake I did. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY TO HELP YOU, THEY WILL ONLY HINDER YOU!.

I met with Lyndon Ruhnke at Baxter & Baxter and recommend him to anyone. He didn't try to pressure me into anything I didn't want and he gave me a lot of information without charging me anything. With all of my debt I have a lot of stress. Getting some free info about bankruptcy helped me sort out things.
