Adam Weiner, Member of Portland Bankruptcy Law Group

     After majoring in business economics at Miami University in southwest Ohio, Adam attended the University of Oregon School of Law beginning in the fall of 1995 and moved to Portland in 1998 to begin practicing law.  Throughout his legal career he has been focused on using the law to help individuals.  His legal career began as a criminal defense attorney representing indigent individuals charged with misdemeanors.  During this time Adam gained extensive trial experience as he solely represented his clients from start to finish in 18 jury trials in Washington and Multnomah counties.  Adam then began working for a well-respected, boutique law firm in downtown Portland that represented injured railroad workers in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Colorado.  Adam then worked for a law firm that specialized in representing employees who were discriminated, harassed, and unlawfully terminated.  Adam now exclusively practices consumer bankruptcy law because he strongly believes that in today’s hostile (and often arbitrary) economic climate individuals need strong, knowledgeable, and compassionate legal representation to help them ease their financial burdens and protect their rights.  Unlike other bankruptcy attorneys in the Portland metropolitan area (especially bankruptcy attorneys that work for large law firms), Adam solely represents debtors.

     Adam has been an active member of the Oregon State Bar since May 6, 1998.  Also, he is admitted to practice in the:  U.S. District Court, District of Oregon (April 19, 1999); U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (October 3, 2000); and Supreme Court of the U.S.A (August 5, 2002).  When not helping people at his law practice, Adam enjoys the Redwoods, Oregon’s amazing nature (especially the forests and rivers), and playing music.
