Over $78 million in verdicts and settlements in 19 years.
Michael A. Colbach
I recently used Mike and his team due to a motorcycle accident that I was injured in. [...] Without Mike at the helm of this incident there is no way I would have been fairly treated. He's very objective and clear with what the possible outcomes could be. I knew what to expect down to each and every detail. -->More

Three examples:
95% of Oregon motorcycle accident lawyers rarely, if ever, go to trial. Without the threat of a lawyer who is willing to go to trial and seek a big jury verdict, why would an insurance company pay you what your claim is really worth. Before you hire a motorcycle accident attorney, ask them how many cases they have tried to a jury and what there results have been.
Oregon motorcycle accident attorneys do not charge the same amount, it can make a big difference.
His fee was less than any other, and I received MORE than any other attorney would have gotten me. You will not get a "speedy" settlement for a few dollars like other law offices do.... You will get the MAXIMUM amount possible in a timely manner that he will tell you up front. Thank you Mike for getting so much more than I thought possible!!! -->More
Jeff E Two years ago, as I was riding my motorcycle, on my year long journey from Chile to Canada, I got very badly injured. After over 35,000 miles, my journey was abruptly interrupted, as a distracted truck driver failed to yield and cut the road a few meters ahead of me. -->More

I am an experienced, aggressive Oregon trial lawyer who has tried over 140 jury trials. I have 30 years of courtroom experience. In November of 2025 I will have been dedicated to exclusively practicing personal injury law for 23 years. I am not afraid to take your case to trial if that is what it takes to maximize the amount of money you recover for your motorcycle accident.
I have ridden street, track, motocross, and off road. I have ridden thousands of miles on my street bike and know the dangers that motorcyclists face every time they get on a bike. In my experience, most motorcycle riders are very safe and cautious, as our life is on the line if we are not. Insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists just because we are on two wheels. I work very hard on all of my motorcycle cases, as I know it could have been me that went down.

I was involved in a bike accident in which I was hit head on in a protected bike lane. I sustained serious injuries that required extensive medical care for the next year. Initially I was nervous about hiring a lawyer and wasn't sure if it was necessary. After speaking with a close friend who was also struck on his bike by a motor vehicle and had success with Michael I choose to speak to him as well. I spoke with a assistant immediately and then was patched over to Michael directly. After taking on my case, I was always cared for by Michael's team for the entire 14 months it took to resolve. They would respond to questions immediately and thoroughly. I never had to haggle with insurance agents or worry about if a property or medical claim was filed correctly. Michael's office handled everything. I have never felt more worry free, which allowed me the space and time to heal from the accident. At every moment in the case Michael and his team were smart, effective and courteous. He got me the MAXIMUM amount in my settlement which was triple what we had originally discussed. He is a wonderful lawyer and a great human being. This particular accident had me questioning if I would ever ride my bike safely in Portland again. Knowing that folks like Michael exist and will pursue justice gave me the confidence to continue riding in this city. That alone I can't put a price on. I would gladly hire him again for any future needs and anyone would be lucky to have him on their team.
