Forum Law Group LLC – Portland, OR

Advocates for the Vulnerable Road User

Forum Law Group LLC is a distinguished personal injury law firm located in the vibrant Northwest District of Portland. Founded by attorney Scott Kocher, the firm has carved out a unique niche as a fierce advocate for pedestrians, bicyclists, and victims of defective products. We understand that Portland is a city of cyclists and walkers, and unfortunately, our infrastructure does not always protect them. Our mission is to provide a voice for those who have been injured by negligent drivers or unsafe street designs, ensuring that the legal system works for the community, not just insurance giants.

Our office is situated in a converted historic property on NW 25th Avenue, reflecting our approachable and community-centered philosophy. Unlike high-volume settlement mills, we take a hands-on approach to every case. We are not afraid to take on difficult cases against government entities or major corporations, including claims involving child abuse in the foster care system. If you need to find a lawyer who is deeply embedded in the local safety advocacy community, Forum Law Group is your dedicated partner.
