Excellent client service has always been our overarching goal. We build lasting partnerships with clients, getting to know them and their businesses, so that we can provide customized, cost-effective legal solutions and legal advice. Cosgrave attorneys strive to settle disputes when it's feasible and in the client's best interest. But when it's not, we're ready and willing to go to trial, and have done so with excellent results in more than 800 cases. It's not just in trial where we excel. Many cases are appealed and, when that happens, we continue providing excellent service. Our appellate attorneys have argued hundreds of cases before the United States Supreme Court, the Oregon Supreme Court, the Oregon Court of Appeals, the Washington Supreme Court, the Washington Court of Appeals, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Of course, Cosgrave practice is not just about lawsuits. Clients also need help with estate planning, business organizing, employment, real estate transactions, and the like. Our lawyers excel at providing those services. The legal community recognizes our accomplishments. Five Cosgrave partners were selected by their peers for inclusion in the current edition of Best Lawyers in America. And two of our lawyers have been given the Multnomah Bar Association's "Professionalism"​ Award, arguably the highest honor in our profession.
