About The Dalles, Oregon

Personal Injury Attorney The Dalles

The Dalles, Oregon is a town of 14,000 residents.  The Dalles is the second largest city on the Oregon side of the Columbia River (the largest city being Portland).

The Dalles is situated on the Columbia River in the north-central part of the state.  The Columbia river is the second largest river in the United States rising into the Rocky Mountains in Canada and emptying into the Pacific Ocean in Oregon spanning 1,243 miles.  Its drainage basin is roughly the size of France!  The name Dalle is French word  (akin to English “dale” and German T[h]al, “valley”) or “flagstone” and referring to the columnar basalt rocks carved by the river.

The history of the Dalles spans back at least 1,000 years to when it was a major Native American trading center.

The first reference to the name “Dalles” occurred in Gabriel Franchère’s Narrative on fur trading on April 12th 1815.  The Dalles in its early era was primarily known for its fur trading industry.

In the early 1840’s many American settlers began traveling this way along the Oregon Trail.

With the influx of settlers in 1850 the U.S. Army founded a small fort at Jason Lee’s Methodist Mission near Celilo Falls.  This fort become the epicenter of the developments that began to take place along the waterfront.  The U.S. went on to build a gold mine in The Dalles.

My name is Linda and my son in law recommended Ryan Hilts. I did not think I needed a lawyer. My son in law said "If you don't win you don't pay". That made a lot of sense to me. After calling Ryan I realized how comforting it is to have a lawyer. I was in a car accident. The driver was drunk and hit me and took off. A hit and run accident. Ryan told me by Oregon Law I was able to go to the doctors. I was able to get the much needed help. My Chiropractor was amazing. It took time to heal. Ryan was always available and always called me back, when I had any questions. He is a wonderful family man. A man of integrity. He also sent emails and texts to wish our family well on all the Holidays. He went above and beyond what was expected. My case was won without a doubt. I would definitely go back to Ryan for any lawyer needs. He is a good man and you can trust him. Thank you Ryan for everything, words are not enough to express all you did for us.

Ryan is a terrific lawyer and a better person. He went above and beyond to reach a settlement in my case and believed in it when no one else did. He’s very intelligent and caring and is always putting the best interests of his clients before his own. Ryan knew more about my case than I even did. He is truly dedicated to his clients, and I can not explain how much I honestly appreciated that. I recommend that you give him a shot if you need to hire an attorney. He won’t let you down.
