The Law Firm of Kirkpatrick & Zeitz – Portland, OR

Experienced Counsel in Northeast Portland

Dedicated Personal Injury and General Practice

The Law Firm of Kirkpatrick & Zeitz is a long-standing legal partnership located in the Montavilla/Northeast Portland area. Led by partners C. Rodney Kirkpatrick and Sanford W. Zeitz, the firm has served the community for decades, providing steady and reliable legal representation. Unlike high-volume firms that treat clients as case numbers, Kirkpatrick & Zeitz maintains a traditional, client-focused practice where individuals work directly with experienced attorneys. The firm’s primary focus is on civil litigation, with a particular emphasis on Personal Injury matters. They represent both plaintiffs seeking justice for injuries and defendants navigating complex insurance claims. This dual perspective allows them to understand the strategies of the opposing side effectively, whether they are negotiating a settlement for a car accident victim or defending a client against a liability claim.

Workers’ Compensation and Civil Litigation

In addition to standard personal injury cases, the firm handles Workers’ Compensation claims, helping injured employees navigate the bureaucratic maze to secure the benefits they are entitled to. Their general practice nature allows them to assist clients with a broader range of legal issues that often intersect with injury law, providing a holistic approach to legal problem-solving. While they maintain a low profile online, their reputation in the local legal community is built on years of courtroom experience and professional integrity. Located in a residential-commercial transition zone in Northeast Portland, the firm offers a more accessible and less intimidating environment than many downtown high-rises.
