Gold For Criminal Defense Law, Silver For DUI/DWI Law And Bronze For Personal Injury Law Mark Second Straight Year Of Recognition
PORTLAND, OR, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Top rated Oregon law firm GNS Law Group has earned recognition in three categories in the 2026 Best of the Willamette Valley, receiving Gold for Criminal Defense Law, Silver for DUI/DWI Law and Bronze for Personal Injury Law.
The results mark the second consecutive year the firm has received awards across all three practice areas. In 2025, GNS Law Group earned Gold for Criminal Defense Law and Silver awards for both DUI/DWI Law and Personal Injury Law.
The 2026 Gold award is the firm’s sixth Gold recognition for Criminal Defense Law since 2021, reinforcing its standing among the best of Oregon trial law firms.
“We are grateful to everyone who nominated and voted for our law firm,” said Jason Short, founding partner of GNS Law Group. “Clients come to us during some of the most difficult and uncertain periods of their lives. This recognition reflects the trust they place in our attorneys, and we take that responsibility seriously with every case we handle.”
As Oregon defense lawyers, the GNS Law Group team represents clients in matters ranging from misdemeanor allegations to serious felony and Measure 11 charges in state and federal courts.
The firm also represents people facing DUI and DUII charges. These cases can involve immediate concerns related to driving privileges, court deadlines and the evidence collected before and during an arrest.
GNS Law Group’s personal injury attorneys represent people who have been injured because of another person or company’s negligence, and the firm’s employment attorneys handle discrimination and harassment claims on behalf of Oregon workers. The legal team helps clients pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income and other losses.
The Best of the Willamette Valley awards are determined through community nominations and public voting. The annual program recognizes businesses and professional service providers throughout the region.
“These awards are meaningful because they come from the communities we serve,” Short said. “We are proud of the recognition, but we are even more proud of the work behind it and the people we have had the opportunity to represent.”
The three 2026 awards continue a multi-year record of recognition for GNS Law Group and its Oregon criminal defense attorneys, DUI and DUII defense team, and personal injury lawyers.
