A: In Oregon, if you're seeking to pursue a civil case against the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) and the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), it's important to find an attorney experienced in handling civil rights and personal injury cases, particularly those involving government agencies.

Start by researching attorneys in your area who have experience with similar cases. Many law firms offer free initial consultations, which can be a good opportunity to discuss your case and determine if the attorney is a good fit for you.

When meeting with potential attorneys, be sure to bring all the documentation you have, including any admissions of error by the agencies. This will help the attorney understand your case and assess its strength.

Additionally, consider contacting your local bar association. They often provide referral services and can help you find an attorney with the appropriate experience.

Keep in mind that civil cases against government entities can be complex and challenging. Having an attorney who understands the nuances of these types of cases can be crucial to the success of your claim.

Remember, it's important to act within the legal time limits for filing a lawsuit. Therefore, beginning your search for legal representation as soon as possible is advisable.
