We are proud to announce that our Portland personal injury law firm's managing partner, Aaron DeShaw, has again been named to Oregon Super Lawyers for 2026. This ranking, selected by judges, lawyers, and mediators that have worked with the lawyer reflects the top 5% of all lawyers in a field of legal practice within the State of Oregon. People seeking the best personal injury lawyer in Portland often refer to Super Lawyers to find the best lawyer for their Oregon personal injury case. This year is the 10th year that Aaron DeShaw has been selected for Super Lawyers. Given his prominence in the field of law as the founder of legal publisher Trial Guides, DeShaw also serves as an invited reviewer for the Super Lawyers nominees.
DeShaw is one of 55 plaintiff personal injury lawyers chosen for Super Lawyers in 2026 from the State of Oregon's 15,000 licensed lawyers as well as all of the out of state lawyers practicing in Oregon through reciprocity. DeShaw is best known as a Portland traumatic brain injury lawyer, an Oregon amputation lawyer, and for handling other catastrophic personal injury cases.
Aaron DeShaw is the only lawyer in Oregon with record jury verdicts in two states. DeShaw obtained the highest compensatory damage personal injury jury verdict in Oregon history ($77,523,748.93), and the record personal injury jury verdict in Ohio ($82,105,345.70). DeShaw is one of few lawyers in the country that have obtained over $1 billion for their clients individually and as co-counsel with other law firms. DeShaw is often hired by other lawyers, or out of state lawyers to handle their serious Oregon personal injury and wrongful death cases. DeShaw has been selected for Super Lawyers for 10 years, but was not selected in some of the most notable years of his career when he was handling a national class action case against over 500 insurance companies for intentionally underpaying insurance claims. His book on insurance claim software was the foundation of the claim against insurers for underpaying claims and he is a recognized authority on auto insurance claims. He is one of the few lawyers in the State of Oregon to be awarded the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association Presidents Award for lifetime achievement in law.
