Insider Defense Strategies for the Injured
KB Law LLC is a results-driven personal injury firm located in the historic Hollywood District of Northeast Portland. Founded by attorneys Kenji Kozuma and Christopher Best, the firm brings a unique ”insider” perspective to plaintiffs’ litigation. Both partners spent the early years of their careers working as defense attorneys for insurance companies and large municipalities. This background gave them a deep understanding of the tactics used to deny claims and minimize payouts. Now, they use that knowledge to fight for the injured. Located at 1717 NE 42nd Avenue, KB Law offers a boutique experience where every client receives the direct attention of a partner, not a paralegal. Their mission is to provide honest, straightforward legal counsel without the ”huff and puff” of typical lawyer advertising. They focus on maximizing financial outcomes while minimizing stress for their clients.
Construction and Injury Experts
The firm has a dual focus that sets it apart: personal injury and construction defect litigation. Their expertise covers:
- Construction Defects: Representing homeowners and associations in claims regarding water intrusion, dry rot, and structural failures. Kenji Kozuma’s background as a carpenter gives him a technical edge in these complex cases.
- Auto Accidents: Handling claims for car, truck, and bicycle crashes, utilizing their defense experience to negotiate effectively with adjusters.
- Premises Liability: Fighting for victims of slip-and-fall accidents and unsafe property conditions.
- Product Liability: Holding manufacturers accountable for dangerous or defective products that cause harm.
- Wrongful Death: providing compassionate representation to families seeking justice for the loss of a loved one.
Team Approach to Justice
KB Law LLC prides itself on a team-based approach. Clients get the benefit of two experienced attorneys reviewing their case strategy. They operate on a contingency-fee basis for injury cases, ensuring that access to justice is not limited by a client’s ability to pay. The firm offers free initial consultations to discuss the merits of a claim and provide a realistic assessment of its value. They are known for their responsiveness and their ability to explain complex legal concepts in plain English. If you need to find a lawyer who can look at a construction blueprint as easily as a medical record, KB Law is the versatile team you need.
