In order to practise law in a state an attorney must be licensed to practise in that state. You may have a family of attorneys but if their license are in Maine or somewhere outside of the state they can not represent you in your case. If the accident is in the Portland area you should find a Portland Oregon personal injury lawyer. Any other Oregon personal injury lawyer could assist you but you will be better off if you have one that is familiar with the Portland court systems. I am not suggesting they be a personal friend of the judge but it does help it they understand the judges reputation.
