About Travis Prestwich

Travis Prestwich, based in Albany, Oregon, is dedicated to representing injured parties and their families in wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits. His practice includes handling cases related to automobile crashes, nursing home negligence, and both property and product liability. Recognizing the importance of experience and personal attention, Travis aims to achieve the best outcomes for his clients.

Travis engages in alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, settlement conferences, and arbitration to minimize stress and expenses for his clients. Recently, he collaborated with a national law firm on a mesothelioma case in Portland, Oregon, securing a $5 million verdict. In two recent wrongful death cases, he achieved favorable results through mediation and arbitration.

When alternative methods are not feasible, Travis is an effective trial lawyer, skilled in both jury and bench trials. He recently secured a jury verdict in a disputed liability case, achieving a judgment nearly nine times the initial offer, and settled a motorcycle accident case for $1.1 million.

Understanding the stress and worry that injuries and deaths cause families, Travis recently served a four-year term on the Oregon State Bar Board of Governors, chairing the Public Affairs Committee. In this role, he led legislative efforts, including testifying before the Oregon legislature. A notable achievement was his leadership in changing Oregon law regarding cy pres, directing unclaimed class action lawsuit funds to legal aid.
