Fierce Advocates for Abuse Survivors

Johnson McCall, LLP is a distinguished women-led law firm located in downtown Portland, dedicated to fighting for the most vulnerable members of society. Situated in the 200 Market Building at 200 SW Market Street, the firm has built a national reputation for its work in abuse and neglect litigation.

With over 50 years of combined experience, the attorneys at Johnson McCall understand the unique trauma faced by survivors. They provide a safe, confidential environment where clients are believed and supported. Unlike general personal injury firms, Johnson McCall specializes in complex cases involving systemic failure, such as sexual abuse in schools or neglect in nursing homes.

Specialized Litigation

The firm’s practice is narrowly focused on cases involving severe betrayal of trust and safety. Their primary areas of expertise include:

• Sexual Abuse: Representing survivors of sexual assault and abuse against religious organizations, youth groups, schools, and foster care systems.
• Nursing Home Neglect: Advocating for elderly residents who suffer from bedsores, falls, malnutrition, and abuse in long-term care facilities.
• Child Abuse: Fighting for children who have been harmed by caregivers, teachers, or coaches, ensuring that their voices are heard in the legal system.
• Premises Liability: Holding property owners accountable for unsafe conditions that lead to catastrophic injuries or assaults.
• Wrongful Death: pursuing justice for families who have lost a loved one due to the negligence or misconduct of a care provider.

Integrity and Compassion

Johnson McCall, LLP operates on a contingency-fee basis, meaning clients pay no legal fees unless a recovery is made. This removes the financial barrier to justice for survivors who are often already dealing with the costs of therapy and medical care. The firm offers free, confidential consultations to discuss the details of a potential case. The attorneys are known for their trauma-informed approach, moving at the client’s pace while aggressively pursuing the perpetrators in court. If you need to find a lawyer who will fight for you with the protective instinct of a guardian, Johnson McCall is the team you want. They are not afraid to take on powerful entities, from insurance giants to the Catholic Church.

Located in the Black Box

The firm’s office in the 200 Market Building (known locally as the ”Black Box” for its distinctive dark glass exterior) places it in the heart of Portland’s business district, near the waterfront. This location commands respect and provides a secure, professional setting for sensitive meetings. If you urgently need a lawyer to investigate a suspicious injury at a nursing home or to file a claim before the statute of limitations expires, Johnson McCall acts with speed and precision.

We believe survivors. We fight for the accountability you demand and the healing you need.
