We support Oregonians confronting unlawful practices in taking legal action and finding justice through our courts. Through our legal team and our network of consumer attorneys statewide, we connect people with the support they deserve—especially those who've had little to no access to legal services.
We believe in the power of collaboration and are here to support you.
Whether you’re a consumer seeking help or an attorney fighting for justice, together, we can make Oregon a place where consumer rights are respected and families come first, not corporate profits.
Oregon consumers have unfortunately long been harmed by targeted scams and unlawful practices that cheat, trick, and bully us out of our hard-earned money, stripping wealth from our families—all so bad actors can cash in at the expense of our communities.
Across age, race, background, and zip code, each year bad actors look to take advantage of us, thinking we won’t push back. But now is the time to claim our rights and hold law-breaking companies and bad actors accountable so that no matter who we are or where we come from, we all have the freedom to live a life of dignity and abundance.

OCJ played an important role in protecting consumer rights by successfully intervening in PacifiCorp's proposed tariff request to the Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC). The PUC's decision to reject their request safeguards consumers' ability to seek full compensation for damages, ensures accountability, and maintains legal protections.
OCJ teamed up with a consumer attorney in Southern Oregon, successfully representing a client against their former law firm who took advantage of them during their divorce proceedings, securing justice on multiple claims.

Strengthening the Consumer Legal Community
Increasing Access to Justice for All Oregonians
Attorneys and other legal professionals focused on consumer rights are working tirelessly to defend and protect Oregonians, fighting for fair and equitable treatment, and providing essential support against injustices. The legal battles you undertake both promote greater responsibility across industries and corporations and enhance the safety and confidence individuals and families rely on.
Our communities' resilience is boosted thanks to your efforts to ensure access to justice, secure remedies, and establish legal precedents.
In spite of all the hard work of lawyers, advocates, and regulatory agency staff to remove barriers for consumers, we know that too many individuals still lack easy or clear access to enforcement and trusted legal support in the face of mistreatment and unlawful behavior.
Access to justice is now more critical than ever, yet out of reach for too many Oregonians. OCJ is committed to growing and supporting the consumer legal community in Oregon, including through education and collaboration opportunities.
OCJ-hosted CLE’s offer valuable training and networking opportunities for consumer attorneys, legal professionals, and consumer advocates. Stay updated on the latest legal developments, share insights with peers, and enhance your skills to better serve Oregonians and our communities.
OCJ offers opportunities, including financial support, to members of the consumer legal community. These opportunities enable their participation in national conferences and provide access to other legal resources. This initiative supports the professional growth of consumer attorneys and offers a path for others to develop or expand their practice of consumer law.
Our legal team provides technical assistance to support consumer attorneys in their fight for justice, including, but not limited to, lending support to attorney fee proceedings. There are also opportunities to co-counsel or consult on complex consumer cases and matters, so you have the backing you need and we all can show up at our best for Oregon consumers.
OCJ directly contributes to the drafting and filing of amicus briefs, presenting detailed arguments for state and federal courts. These efforts demonstrate our commitment to supporting appellate courts by providing additional, relevant information on behalf of consumers, which judges may consider before making their rulings.
Stay connected. Share what you are facing, and let us know if our assumptions are correct or if we need to iterate. How can OCJ work with and alongside you in our collective movement for consumer justice?
