About Ransom, Gilbertson, Martin & Ratliff, LLP
Our History
The Beginning
Founded in 1968, Ransom, Gilbertson, Martin & Ratliff, LLP has been serving Oregon for more than 50 years. Early on, our senior partners saw that many Oregonians who had been injured at work weren’t getting the legal advice they needed. They took action and began helping as many people as possible.
Today
We have continued in the same tradition, specializing in workers’ compensation, personal injury, and Social Security Disability cases to help people win the compensation they deserve. We have offices in Portland, Pendleton, and Pacific City, but serve all of Oregon, including Portland, Gresham, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Salem, Hood River, The Dalles, Hermiston, Pendleton, Astoria, Tillamook, and surrounding areas.
Our Philosophy: We’re on Your Side
Many of our clients come to us feeling frustrated, hurt, and pushed aside because no one will listen to them or take their concerns seriously. We never want our clients to feel that way. We take the time to listen to your story, answer all your questions, and make sure you fully understand your legal options.
At Ransom, Gilbertson, Martin & Ratliff, LLP, we believe everyone deserves strong legal representation, which is why we put the same level of care and dedication into every case. We never settle for good enough. Instead of being flashy, we want our clients to feel comfortable and confident that their case is in the best possible hands.
We only get paid if you win. Every consultation is free, and we don’t charge you fees for our service.
“I’d like to thank the staff and members of Ransom, Gilbertson, Martin & Ratliff. Thank you for your help and support during my time of need. I truly appreciate your team going above and beyond what I anticipated. Again thank you.”
