I just wanted to take a moment to say that I had a very smooth and great experience working with Jenna Richards. She was very attentive to my situation and was always quick to respond with information or answers to my questions. It felt like the whole process was in good hands with Jenna and I am grateful to have worked with her regarding my situation.

I had the misfortune of being wrongfully accused of a crime. Like many other people, I looked to other's experiences along with online reviews for direction on who to have represent me. I quickly recognized how highly respected and experienced Mr. Jeff Napoli and his team were as they have earned a solid reputation throughout the Portland metro area. Mr. Napoli was always prompt in responding and communicating with me. Mr. Napoli went above and beyond in repeatedly contacting the district attorney's office on my behalf and equally kept me apprised of what was transpiring. Throughout this ordeal, I was also represented by Ms. Jenna Richards, a member of Mr. Napoli's team. My family and I were highly impressed. Both Jeff and Jenna conducted a thorough counter-investigation which clearly proved I was innocent of the charges against me. This was one of the most stressful periods in my life and I could not thank them enough for all of the help, attention and respect they showed me throughout this entire year-long ordeal. I highly recommend Gilroy, Napoli and Short law firm to anyone seeking top tier representation. Thank you Jeff, Jenna and their entire team!

It was 2022 and I thought I had lost my future. Due to careless due diligence, I made some seriously stupid decisions and ended up in a criminal defense case. This was my first legal experience and I had never been more emotionally distraught in my life. Thankfully, I made the right decision in having Tucker Rossetto as my attorney. The penalties could've been much worse, but he got it down to less than I thought it would be. From felony to misdemeanor. It was reassuring to know that there was light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for everything!
