In 2016 I was in a motor vehicle accident where an impaired driver struck me head on. On the advice of a friend, I reached out to Kim at Pickett Dummigan McCall to discuss my options and made the decision to have her represent me. Not only was she knowledgeable about the process and the various laws and statutes relevant to the case we pursued, but also extremely communicative about what to expect as we moved through the process and where the case was - I received updates during the discovery process, when depositions were happening, or when hearings were held to determine the specifics of how the case was being tried. In my case there were also some personal circumstances involving a disabling condition I've had all my life. Kim, took the time to understand what limitations were from the condition and what differences/changes were post-accident. She was sensitive enough to let me make my own decisions regarding how certain aspects of the case were addressed, but firm enough to help me understand that some of the processes are simply things you have to go along with if your case is going to move forward. Kim and her team addressed various motions throughout the case process, including a motion by defense counsel for summary judgment and dismissal, which was denied. Every case is different and unique. Over my time working with Kim I had no doubt that her interest was in achieving the best outcome possible for me, which all things considered, she did quite well. The staff was helpful and it was a great experience.

I was so surprised to see the negative review of Chris Larson! Chris worked with me/my family a couple of years ago, over the course of several weeks and I couldn't have been more impressed with anyone's commitment, hard work, compassion and diligent efforts on our case! He did a stellar job for us in our three day court case and while we did not prevail, we felt very sure that our representation by Pickett, Dummigan, McCall was the best we could have had, and we were gratified to have had our "day in court". Chris was very responsive to emails, was fully prepared and informed about my case, informing me about the process of jury trials, possible scenarios, back up plans that were in place, etc. The firm works together so well that I actually got to meet and work with 4 of the lawyers over the course of my exploring with them the viability of pursuing a lawsuit, various stages of fact-finding, depositions, etc. I wonder if the reviewer that reported Chris as unresponsive actually had correct contact information?? My family and I have nothing but praise for the ethical and professional attitude and practice of Chris Larson and the other attorneys at Pickett, Dummigan, McCall who helped us through the difficult legal process we undertook.

This review is specifically about attorney Kristen West McCall at the firm. As with many people, I have a love-hate relationship with attorneys and a definitely diverse view of the attorneys I have dealt with over the years; far more negative comments than positive as a rule. So it gives me singular pleasure to provide a very positive and laudatory review for Kristen. She is very good at her job; tenacious, innovative and thorough. I would not like to be on the opposing side when she represents you. She is also very much your advocate. Now that may seem obvious, but many attorneys consider you nothing more than a source to bill. I can earnestly say that is NOT the case here. Before there is even a conversation about money, she listens to the facts of the case, provides guidance and will be upfront as to whether she thinks it should be pursued. She is flexible and reasonable; two words that do NOT automatically apply to many counselors. She is proactive, answers her phone (or calls you back in a timely fashion if she is otherwise engaged) and most importantly, adds a large measure of common sense to her legal expertise. If you have occasion for a personal injury attorney, make sure Kristen McCall in on your short list.

I had a very difficult case and kept getting rejected and dropped from other firms. I was in a motor vehicle accident and waited a few months to get treatment for my injuries. Because of the amount of time that passed, my insurance company wouldn't cover the hefty bills I racked up. I hired a lawyer shortly after only for the firm to drop my case about 4 months before statute of limitations was up. I was 20 at the time and getting married in a few months, so I was desperate to find another legal representative. Unfortunately, my case was such a risk that it was denied by several lawyers. When I called Kimberly she was very honest and knew the odds were stacked against me, but she took on my case anyway. She bumped my case to top priority and worked hard to finish months and months worth of work in our limited time frame. She remained honest and thoroughly communicated with me in terms that I would understand, which I really appreciate. It was almost impossible to get a good outcome, but she got me out of a sticky situation and today I'm completely debt free. I would highly reccomend Kimberly. She's brilliant.

I had a small case and contacted multiple law offices, but none were willing to take on my case. I was about to give up when a friend of mine referred me to Pickett Dummigan McCall. This law firm was the only one willing to take on my case and I am eternally grateful. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Deena. Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for her. I would love to sing her praises on this review, but there is not enough real estate on this page. She is the most genuine, hardworking, and down-to-earth person you could ever meet. She went to bat for me and won my case. If you’re “web browsing” and reading various reviews in search of a law firm, you’ve came to the right place. Please call Pickett Dummigan McCall and ask for Deena. She’ll take good care of you….I promise!!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Pickett Dummigan Weingart LLP after a car accident left me with injuries. From the start, the entire team was professional, compassionate, and dedicated to helping me obtain the best possible settlement and compensation for my injuries. The legal process can be time-consuming and complex, but Mr. Brendan and his team guided me through every step with patience and expertise. They consistently kept me informed of the progress on my case, and I never felt out of the loop or overwhelmed. I am incredibly grateful for the help and support I received from Pickett Dummigan Weingart LLP. Their commitment to my case and to recovering my rights made all the difference. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation. Abdul

“From the moment Deena Sajitharan agreed to take our case we could not have been in better hands. The resources provided by Picket Dummigan Weingart LLP are superior.  Deena and her skilled staff maintained active contact through out the case.   We never had to wonder about our status.  Deena and her staff respond when contacted.  I said I was available for contact at any time.  As the case progressed It was not unusual to receive a call at 6PM on a Friday.  Deena puts in the  hours.  Deena went above and beyond to understand our situation as she consistently answered questions and provided guidance.  Deena was persistent while interacting with all other parties.   Deena Sajitharan and extensive legal team at  PDW Legal are exemplary. You can place your trust here.”

Professional. Skilled. Experienced. These are merely words conveying my expectations for an attorney. PDM far exceeded my expectations. The entire staff, and particularly Kristen McCall, added Personable, Committed, Dedicated, Empathic, and Available to the list. Moreover, I could rely on the advice to be both candid and plainspoken. My case was two years in the making from injury to its final successful conclusion. Though certainly my circumstance was not extraordinary in any real respect, at no time did I ever get a sense that I was not the most valuable client in Ms. McCall's portfolio. The best business and personal decision I could have made was engaging PDM to slay my dragon!

I was so impressed by Deena’s genuinity, and passion for my case. This was my first time dealing with a lawyer and I was very nervous and unsure of what I was getting into, but Deena walked me through every step of the way and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Deena went above and beyond for me and got me more than I expected because she would not take no for an answer and would not settle for anything less than what she thought I deserved. I am truly blown away by her and now know who to recommend if anyone I know should need legal council for personal injury in the future. I’d give her a million stars if I could!! Thanks Deena!

Without any hesitation I give this exceptional firm, and employees, my very highest recommendations! Brendan is an amazingly talented, caring and experienced lawyer who makes you feel like you are a friend...never known a lawyer like him...ever! Deena also a very talented lawyer has the gift of joy...she can make you laugh at any moment, and yet have your back 110%! Brittanie, was an absolute pleasure to work with on many, many tasks! I will highly recommend these upper deck professionals to anyone searching for genuine help, support and competence! Like the commercial says, I've now found a friend in the legal profession!!

I contacted Kristen McCall some weeks after being run down off my bike by a pickup truck. I had psychological trauma and multiple injuries, one of which ended up needing major surgery a year after the accident, with a year-long recovery from that. Throughout all of the ups and downs, Kristen helped me stay focused on getting better as quickly and as well as I could, while she managed the insurance and legal aspects. She helped me get the best compensation from the insurance company that I think I could have gotten. I'm completely satisfied with the outcome. I hope I never need legal counsel again, but if I do, I'll go straight to Kristen.

Kristen West McCall was my savior. I was lost and injured after my accident. My insurance company didn't want me to receive the treatment my doctors said I needed, and the IME doctors agreed. Kristen was amazing! She told me to get the treatment I felt I needed. She continued to advocate my case to the insurance company. They fought us every step of the way. She told me to be patient and answered every silly question I had along the way. Ultimately she was able to get the insurance company to pay all of medical bills. I would have been completely taken advantage of by my insurance company, without her help.

PDM legal was recommended to me by a family member. They were outstanding to work with. At times I had a hard time talking because of an injury. Everyone at PDM treated me with respect and always gave me the time I needed to get my words out when I talked with them. Sometimes my family had to communicate with PDM for me and it was extremely nice working with a legal firm that understood the situation and made things very easy. Thank you Randy, Kim, Kyle and staff for the privilege of getting to know you and work with you. All of you did an outstanding job in my opinion!

Shangar Meman represented my husband and I in a personal injury claim. She was very knowledgeable professional and attentive throughout the process. She took extra time to inform of us of each step and how the process would unfold. When we had questions she was always available by phone or email and responded to any request promptly. One thing I noticed is she knew when my husband and I were apprehensive and knew just what we needed to help us. She is amazing and I would highly recommend her for any legal/attorney needs in the future.

I'm very appreciative of Kim and Randys help over a long 5 years! It was a long time they had to deal with my case, but they made me feel understood and comfortable the whole time. I felt that they genuinely had my best interest at heart from the beginning to the end. I could say a lot of great things about these two, but that'd be 5 years worth of good things to say! I would recommened Kim and Randy to my family and friends. I know I would definetly reach out to Kim and Randy again if I ever needed any legal help again!

Kristen McCall helped our family file a wrongful death claim when my father died at a memory care facility, and she was excellent to work with. She was extremely professional, explaining things well and answering all calls and emails in a timely manner. She was also empathetic and understanding, and I appreciate the energy she devoted to our claim. She made our case feel like a priority, even though I’m sure she had larger clients on her list. I would highly recommend her.

Kimberly Weingart was more than a pleasure to work with! She is very knowledgeable and skilled at her craft. I can say with full pride she is most certainly one of the best. I will recommend her any day no question. We worked closely together for 2 years and she was always there when I needed. She really cares for her clients. Hard worker and very dedicated I love that about her. If you ever need a Personal Injury Attorney look no further! Kimberly Weingart you Rock!!

Kimberly Weingart: Thoughtful, Knowledgeable & Respectful Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, Kim was responsive and an excellent communicator. I really appreciated her calm, caring and straightforward manner, the way she listened to my concerns, how she knowledgeably explained the law, and thoroughly presented all of my options. I would not hesitate to hire her again and would recommend her to anyone who appreciates an attorney with these qualities.

I had the pleasure of working with Deena at PDM. She and the team at PDM worked tirelessly and extremely thoroughly to help me get to my final settlement. She walked me through every aspect of what to expect as the case progressed which eased my mind. She and the team are very professional, courteous and friendly. They were my best advocate. I can’t say enough good things about my good experience with Deena and PDM. Based on my experience I highly recommend PDM!

I had a really good experience with the attorneys at Pickett and Dummigan. They held on for years fighting through Covid to get the best possible outcome financially for my workplace injury. These are kind, hardworking attorneys that won’t take more than what you receive and fight to get you as much of a return as possible. So if you’re looking for great attorneys that you can trust for your injury claim these are the folks you should call. Vanessa

An honest and ethical law firm. Mr. Larsen, Mr. Pickett and the other members of this firm approach their practice through the lens of social justice. When my daughter was killed in a hit and run, they provided a safe- guard against the flood of opportunists who would morph the case into their own agenda. For my own healing, I needed my daughter's authentic story to be heard. This firm made that possible. We won and my healing began. Thank you.

Kristen McCall represented our family in our Mother's wrongful death claim. She walked us through the legal process and set realistic expectations for us. Despite the limitations of COVID, Kristen did an excellent job communicating with us and keeping us informed as the case proceeded. She was very supportive and empathetic and fought like a pit bull for us. We would also like to thank her support team, especially Travis Cody.

I cannot say enough positive things about the exceptional advocacy Kimberly Weingart provided following an accident last year. Her combination of empathy and skill showed me her human understanding of my circumstances while maximizing the outcome on my behalf. There are many choices for attorneys in this area of law, but few can strike the balance of compassion and tenacity that Ms. Weingart achieves.

I had a great experience with Pickett Dummigan! Deena Sajitharan was my lawyer and she was so helpful. Dina was very responsive, thorough, and always willing to follow up to make sure we were both on the same page with my case. She kept a positive outlook on my case the whole time, even when I was unsure what the outcome may be and we won! 100% would recommend Dina, she’s the best!

As a client with a very complex injury case Randy and his team stayed dedicated and honored my side to the best efforts possible. They went above and beyond! I can't appreciate them enough for everything. It was worth the wait and I can now say "I can see the light of day and move forward from this now." All thanks to Randy and his team. Thank you.

Extremely disappointed working with Chris Larsen. Emailed him several times along with several phone calls and he hasn't returned my calls/emails. Does not seem interested in helping me out with my case, the least he can do is call or email me back. This is extremely unprofessional...... I will be looking for a new lawyer to work with.

This is the second time I have worked with Pickett Dummigan McCall LLP and both times I have had a wonderful experience. I worked specifically with Kim Weingart and her team and her work with both of my cases was unmatched. The diligence and attention to detail this company gave my cases delivered a positive outcome both times.

As most people will at some point have to work with a lawyer at some point. This experience was professional honest dependable and this firm advocated for me against a big powerful company. This firm stood by me and I will be grateful for such a positive experience. In my opinion one of the best law firms in Portland.

Deena and Brendan were excellent! They were professional and I felt comfortable enough to explain my situation. Throughout this experience Deena kept in close contact guiding me through the process and helping answer my questions in a timely manner. I felt genuinely cared about. Thank you guys for all your hard work!

Very much am thankful for Pickett Dummigan LLP. Caring for my best interest & well being. I am grateful to feel safe, heard, & respected. It's a nice change of pace to have people that are so supportive- In my cases I felt well guided as well as protected. I couldn't rave about the lovely people more. …

I got referred by one of my clients who is an attorney to Pickett Dummigan law firm. Deena Sajitharan was my attorney and she’s very through and honest at what she does. She’s there when you need her and she’s committed to excellence. I highly recommend Deena if you’re looking for a dedicated attorney.

This firm is amazing! They took our foster son's case in spite of about a million complications and challenges, they WON the case! My husband and I are just profoundly grateful to this entire wonderful team! And now one young man or on this earth has been given a second chance.

A family member referred me to Kim Weingart and she was able to take my case with very little notice. I found the firm and Kim kind, professional, and efficient. This was nothing like the corporate, impersonal lawyering I’ve received from personal injury attorneys in my past.

I am a licensed California attorney. When my sister was injured in Portland, I turned to Kristen West McCall. Kristen was responsive, diligent and most importantly, went beyond expectations in the pursuit of compensation for my sister. I would recommend her unconditionally.

Kimberly Weingart is a consummate professional -- competent, capable and caring. Tough when necessary on behalf of her clients but compassionate about their needs. She settled my case for more than I expected and I couldn't have been more pleased with her as my attorney.

They were very professional and hard working on my case from the very start They handled everything the correct way with efficiency and Some creativity.. I recommend them for Any case that is out there . 5 stars all the way, especially for Kimberly!

They helped us out so much with an auto accident case that took so long to resolve! We appreciate their work so much. Brendan was very responsive and contacted us personally to ensure us that everything would be taken care of. Thank you Brendan.

DEENA HELPED ME OUT WITH A CAR ACCIDENT THAT I HAD. THE FIRM SHE WORKS FOR ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE WITH CASES. I CANT THANK DEENA AND HER LAW FIRM FOR THE HELP AND SUPPORT I NEEDED. THANK YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS

Was represented by Kim Weingart in a personal injury claim. Really appreciated how she set expectations and guided me through the process. Was really nice to feel as though my interests and feelings had priority.

Brendan and his staff went above and beyond to ensure that I was taken care of. As someone in the legal field myself, I can confidently say that they land in the top 10% of plaintiff’s firms.

Hi had the pleasure of working with Deena regarding a malpractice incident. Deena was on top of it in every way! The case was settled with a wonderful outcome. I highly recommend her.

The PDM Legal team including the extended staff are tremendous group of people. I'm so impressed with their compassion, passion and dedication to fight the fight. 5 stars!

I would recommend them for sure 100% They speak Spanish and English. All the employees are very nice helpful. Thank you guys for everything Best Team. …

Kristen West McCall worked so diligently to get as fair a settlement as possible. Even when I was ready to give up, she would not! Thanks, Kristen!

Be very careful of this "firm". They are NOT truly working in your favor...and will double cross you as a client in mediation.

The lawyers at PDM are compassionate and creative when it comes to helping clients- they go the extra mile to help people.

A great legal representation. Deena was instrumental in approaching this in the most professional manner possible.

I can't understand why this law firm is suing local businesses in my community.

They worked hard to resolve or case.
