Law Office Of Mike Arnold

Mike is an Oregon attorney and entrepreneur who has a passion pursuing what conventional wisdom considers long shots or lost causes, particularly when it involves speaking truth to power. Mike is experienced in jury trials and complex criminal and civil litigation involving multiple parties and witnesses, voluminous discovery, expert witnesses, and high stakes. He was managing partner of Arnold Law for 10 years and was the chief trial lawyer of the firm until he departed in June 2017. In 2014, Mike was listed as one of Oregon’s top trial attorneys by the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Lawyers after a selection process that included peer nominations combined with third-party research (criteria includes reputation among peers, judiciary, public; previous year’s verdicts as a trial lawyer; etc.). In 2014, Mike was named in The Eugene Weekly‘s “Best of Eugene” awards as “Eugene’s Best DUI Lawyer.” Mike was also rated “Distinguished” (4.4/5.0) by Martindale-Hubble’s attorney peer-review rating system. Attorney Practice Philosophy Mike’s practice philosophy is simple: know more about the facts and law than the other lawyer, investigators, experts, and court. Hard work wins cases. Mike does not just ferry offers from the other side to his clients. He prepares every case for settlement as if it were going to trial. Practice Interests Mike enjoys representing clients in complex litigation, involving high stakes (financial or liberty interests), complicated legal issues or expert witnesses, confusing fact patterns with lengthy timelines, or multiple parties. Mike enjoys meeting juries all around the state, particularly in the more rural counties. In the civil context, he has successfully resolved cases in Federal and state courts, including jury trials in Federal Court in Eugene and in state court in Lane, Marion, Linn, Lincoln, Jackson, and Josephine Counties. He has successfully litigated business, personal injury and employment cases before juries.
