Ian Wallace
About
Ian is an enthusiastic and grateful practitioner of the wide range of legal topics he faces every day in his work with LegalShield members. Before arriving at Kivel and Howard LLP, Ian focused his legal career on debtor/creditor and consumer finance and protection matters – specifically maintaining his own busy consumer bankruptcy practice for many years. His experience and expertise in bankruptcy law has helped many hundreds of individuals and families find much needed relief from their seemingly insurmountable financial difficulties. Ian has served on the executive committees of both the Debtor/Creditor and Consumer Sections of the Oregon State Bar and helped plan and present at a variety of lawyer education seminars over the years. Ian Wallace has lived and practiced law in Portland since graduating from Lewis & Clark Law School in 2000. Before settling in Oregon for his legal career, he received his undergraduate degree at the University of California, Davis, and then participated in the Peace Corps program in Senegal, West Africa. Now an old-timer in the Portland community, he still loves the fascinating and fun food and music scene of Portland but ends up spending most of his non-working time these days tending to his dog/cats and watching in awe as his beautiful and smart daughter grows up. He could also stand to exercise a bit more.

No, we’re not. For the last 48 years we’ve worked to build long-standing partnerships with high-quality law firms across the U.S. and Canada–today totalling 39 firms. Our network includes 900+ attorneys, with an average of 22 years experience ensuring that no matter your location or legal matter there’s a qualified legal expert ready to assist you. We’ve found the best of the best already so you don’t have to do the work of shopping around.
Again, no. Instead, we partner with legal firms across the U.S. and Canada. When you become a member, you gain access to an entire law firm in your state. This ensures that you match with a qualified attorney to handle your immediate legal needs AND offers additional security for whatever legal issues may arise in the future. For example, you may join to consult with an estate attorney on drafting your Will but later get advice from a consumer finance attorney over an incorrect insurance claim or help from a traffic attorney to dispute a moving violation. In other words, you’re connected to an entire provider firm covering a vast array of legal practices instead of an individual attorney who only practices a specific type of law.
Most memberships are processed in 1 business day. Once membership processed, attorneys are committed to returning calls in 4 business hours or less, and are available 24/7 for legal emergencies.
Most day-to-day legal issues are covered by the standard member benefits with no additional fees. Regardless of your specific legal issue, as a member you can consult with your provider attorney on an unlimited number of personal legal issues. Plus, your provider attorney can make phone calls and write letters on your behalf and can review and provide feedback on an unlimited number of personal legal documents.
Feel free to call 1 (855) 254-5852 or chat and speak with one of our amazing customer service reps if you have more detailed questions.
When you become a member, we do the work of finding the best attorney to fit your needs. Save time and reduce the stress of searching for an attorney. Just call us and an intake specialist will go over your issue and assign your case to the most qualified attorney at your provider firm. If your assigned provider attorney is ever not quite the right fit for you for whatever reason you can request to work with another attorney at any point.
