I am Brad C. Holbrook, an attorney who is passionate about assisting clients as they navigate their legal challenges. I am licensed to practice law in both Oregon and California. While I primarily practice in Oregon, where I reside, I am also available to assist clients in California when necessary.
My area of practice is personal injury law. I was drawn to this field because I understand the significance of having a dedicated advocate when someone is injured in an accident, particularly if the injuries are severe. In such situations, individuals need steadfast support to manage the numerous legal details while they concentrate on their recovery and other vital areas of their life. It is a common tactic for insurance companies to suggest that an injured person does not require legal representation. However, I firmly believe that, even in the presence of fair insurance claims adjusters, having a seasoned attorney is crucial in any personal injury claim where another party is at fault.
I possess the experience necessary to effectively manage your personal injury claim. I value the chance to employ my experience in aiding those who are in need.

- Q. Can my boyfriend defend against false pedophilic behavior claims in Oregon?
- A: It's kind of you to post this in support of your boyfriend. That said, he's 35 and was dating someone 13 years younger. While age gaps in relationships aren’t uncommon and love has no fixed limit, there is a legal age of consent. In many states and countries, that age ranges from 14 to 16—but as you know, California’s threshold is higher.
You didn’t mention your own age, which may be relevant when law enforcement assesses the situation. There are many factors at play here, and I trust you're aware of that. I also agree with James L. Arrasmith—don’t panic. This is undoubtedly a stressful and unwanted situation, but based on your statements, it may be difficult to prosecute. ... Read More
- Q. Can an employee be terminated for filing a false worker's comp claim?
- A: If your question assumes the truth of the fact that the worker's compensation claim was fradulent--then, yes, in Oregon, an employee can be terminated for filing a false workers' compensation claim. However, if there is any chance that there was a valid claim? The case must be handled carefully to avoid violating state or federal employment laws.
For examle, terminating an employee for filing a valid claim would likely constitute wrongful termination or retaliation, both of which are illegal. Then again, filing a fraudulent claim—such as fabricating an injury, exaggerating its severity, or misrepresenting the circumstances—is not protected and may be grounds for termination. This ...

- Q. Is it legal for a California resident to borrow and drive my Washington-registered car?

- Does failing to register the vehicle within the required timeframe in California violate the state's registration rules?
- How does this impact your contractual obligations with your insurance company?
You should review your insurance policy to determine how a situation like this is addressed. Changes such as location and usage may affect the factors your insurance company used to determine your policy and premium rates. If your friend is a California resident and is using the vehicle regularly in California—which appears to be the case—you may be required to register the vehicle within 20 days of bringing it into the state.
Legally, ... Read More
