The Gatti Law Firm

Focus and practice areas

Personal injury law sits at the center of this Oregon practice. The firm represents people hurt in traffic collisions, and its stated caseload runs across car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents. It also handles wrongful death claims when an injury turns fatal.

The work reaches past the road. The firm lists nursing home abuse, sexual abuse, workers' compensation, product liability, and premises liability among its areas. Traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries appear as their own categories, which points to a focus on serious and lasting harm rather than minor claims.

One detail is worth flagging. The firm describes its practice as plaintiff-only. That means it represents injured people rather than insurers or companies, and this kind of work usually means pursuing claims against at-fault drivers, employers, or their insurers.

Where the firm keeps offices

The firm is based in Salem and runs offices in several other Oregon cities. Its listed locations include Lake Oswego, Clackamas, Beaverton and Hillsboro, and Eugene, with a Portland location noted as well. That spread covers much of the Willamette Valley and the state's main population centers, from the Salem area north toward Portland and south to Eugene.

The Salem base places the main office in the state capital, while the other locations put lawyers closer to clients in the Portland metro area and the southern part of the valley. A nearby office can matter in injury work, since these cases often involve in-person meetings and filings in local courts.

Reach extends past Oregon in two ways. The firm's attorneys are licensed in Oregon and Washington, so they can act on both sides of the Columbia River. The firm also states that it associates with lawyers elsewhere in the country when a case calls for it, which suggests a willingness to bring in outside help on larger matters.

How the team is built

The roster is organized by title, with shareholders, a partner, and staff attorneys. In my opinion, that layered structure suggests a settled firm rather than a solo shop, though the site does not publish individual bios, law schools, or admission dates.

The named attorneys

The shareholders listed are Ron L. Sayer, Jeffrey P. Thayer, Ryan S. Jennings, and Emily Crocker Stebbins. James Healy is named as a partner. The attorney roster adds Nicole Tudhope, Jason Voorhees, Aaron Johnson, James Cleary, Laura Newsom, Brian W. Reverman, and Daniel Trujillo Martinez.

That is a dozen named lawyers, a sizable group for a firm built around one field. The mix of shareholders and staff attorneys, working across several offices, is consistent with a practice that covers much of the state rather than a single city. Senior shareholders alongside newer attorneys can also point to some internal training and case handoff, though the site does not spell that out.

Experience and how long it has practiced

The firm points to a long history. It states more than 50 years of work, described on the site as five decades in Oregon injury law. No specific founding year is published, so this review can only report the range the firm gives, and it ties that experience to its Oregon roots and its plaintiff-side work.

The team's combined experience is put at more than 200 years. That figure covers the group as a whole rather than any single lawyer, and it reads as a rough tally across the roster. Set beside the dozen named attorneys, it fits a firm that has kept a steady bench over time.

The firm also describes itself as a large personal injury practice in Oregon. That is the firm's own characterization, and the site does not attach a client count or case figure to it. A reader is on safer ground treating it as a claim from the firm rather than a verified ranking.

How the firm takes on cases

The firm works on a contingency basis. Its fee depends on the outcome of the case, and it offers a free initial consultation before any agreement is signed. Paired with the plaintiff-only focus, this arrangement lines up the firm's payment with the client's result.

For public presence, the firm keeps a Facebook page and lists it on the site. Other social profiles are not published, so most of what a prospective client can check sits on the firm's own pages.

What stands out for a prospective client

Two things shape how this firm reads on paper. It concentrates on injury claims for plaintiffs, and it carries a stated history measured in decades. The breadth of practice areas, from road collisions to nursing home and abuse claims, widens the range of people it can help, and for someone weighing a car crash claim or a catastrophic injury case, that focus and that footprint are worth noting.

Some gaps remain. The site does not publish attorney bios, individual case results, or a founding year, so a prospective client cannot check those details in one place yet. As a reviewer, I would treat the firm's own claims, such as its size, as starting points for questions rather than settled facts. What the record plainly shows is a plaintiff-side injury practice with a dozen named attorneys, offices across Oregon, and licensing in two states.
