Richard J Sohler, Attorney at Law

I would highly recommend Richard. He did a great job and answered all of our questions. Richard was prompt, professional and helped us tremendously!

RJ does the bookkeeping for our small real estate company and has had such a positive impact on our business. We went from floundering around and being unsure of the state of things to having a great hold on what’s going on with our finances and what steps to take next. Our compensation model is complicated and RJ has implemented a number of things that have simplified the system as well as enabled us to improve our planning both from both a cash flow and a tax savings standpoint.
RJ is also easy going and great to communicate with. You can trust him to follow through and to keep working at a problem until a solution is found. I highly recommend him for any small business need you have!

I was in need of someone to update and revise my estate plan but I was tired of the high prices charged by the firms downtown. I decided what I needed was an attorney with a solo practice who could deliver the same quality advice and service but at prices that were fair. I don’t need a cup of organic herbal tea or bottled spring water at my appointments. Nor do I need spa music and plush seating with a sweeping view of the river. Who do you think pays for all those fancy amenities at the firms downtown? You do.
Enter Richard Sohler. Wow, I can’t say enough great things about him and his practice. A top ten percent graduate of the prestigious Lewis and Clark Law School, Richard is hard-​working (he grew up on an Oregon filbert farm), humble, sincere, straight talking, easy-​going, thorough, and has a meticulous attention to detail. He delivers fast and efficient service and always has his eye out on how to keep his charges down so he can save the client money. In addition to updating my estate plan, I hired him to prepare my tax return for 2014, which was more than just a tiny bit complicated. In preparing my taxes, first Richard reviewed my previous year’s returns and found some areas where my old CPA had dropped the ball, so to speak. The last thing I want (or anyone else I’m sure) is a tax audit. Richard recommended that I file an amended return for 2013. I agreed, so he set to work and waded through all the mess and got the amended return ready too, all while in the middle of his dear wife delivering their first baby!
Just weeks after I hired Richard, I was already proud to recommend him to friends who needed advice regarding the business/​book-​keeping aspects of their homeowner’s association, and also to friends who needed to update their estate plan like I did. If you want the best advice there is for taxes, business law, or estate planning, Richard is your man.

RJ is great and I recommend him to most people I meet. If you have a small business, he is the man you want to know. Here’s why everyone should have his business card in their wallet: He is the one-​stop shop for small business. He can advise you about your bookkeeping. He can advise you about succession planning. He can defend you if the IRS comes knocking at your door, but if you’re smart and have him doing your bookkeeping that shouldn’t be a problem. I think everyone should have an accountant that can also go to court for them… it’s just convenient.
He is invaluable for any variety of small business. I recommend making him part of your business now before the secret gets out and he raises his rates to match demand!
