I do not feel good about writing this, but after significant consideration I found it to be important for me to share my experience: if you are looking for an attorney to waste time, sabotage your case, bail on you right before trial, and literally take your money without your consent, look no further. This was my nightmare experience for over a year working with Henry Rau.

I used this firm to make a Living Trust. Henry is one of the best Attorneys i worked with. He is very detail oriented and the best part is he explain every questions very well. He make sure that you understand every line in trust document. He is very prompt in his communication. Over all it was a great experience and I would recommend him.

We recently retained Rau Law to help navigate the purchase of a primary home. While an attorney is not generally required for residential real estate transactions in OR, we decided it would be better to have an attorney on our side based on previous experience. This proved to be one of the best decisions we made, as we ran into a few issues in the purchase process that Henry was able to quickly resolve.
First, we had a set of very specific contingencies we wanted to be included as a part of the purchase contract and associated addendums. Henry set up several meetings with us to listen and understand our concerns. He then ensured that the terms of our purchase contract would specifically address our contingency concerns. Ultimately, this provided us with a large amount of leverage to get the seller to satisfy the contingency expediently.
Next, we ran into issues with getting property records from title. Before putting our life-savings into a property, we wanted to know as much about it and its history as possible. The house had an old oil tank and an old septic tank that were supposedly decommissioned; however, the title company could not produce anything. Henry was able to identify the company who did the oil tank removal, and with his help, we got full details of the environmental contamination and associated remediation that occurred. He was also able to get records of the septic tank decommissioning that title was unable to acquire. Thanks to Henry's efforts, all of our property questions were answered, and all due diligence was done.
Finally, we ran into an issue with title paperwork which caused a closing delay. During this time, the seller and/or their agent made a threat to break contract and refuse to honor a delayed closing. Henry was able to quickly remind the seller's agent of the legal ramifications of doing so, which ultimately resulted in the expedient signing of the extension and subsequent transaction closure.
Ultimately, it was Henry's assistance and effort that made us comfortable enough to go through with our purchase. He is quick to take action and thoroughly communicated everything to us throughout the process. I will definitely retain his services in the future for any and all real estate or similar contract matter.
