About

Brian A. Buchanan is the Director of the Oregon Center for Employee Rights, based in Salem, Oregon. With nearly three decades of experience in employment law, Brian has been a staunch advocate for Oregon employees since 1994, specializing in wage claims and litigation. As a recognized wage expert, he is committed to ensuring that employees receive fair compensation for their hard work, and he actively pursues penalties for wage nonpayment or late payment. Brian’s approach to legal representation is client-focused and results-driven. He recognizes the financial burden that legal fees can impose on individuals seeking justice, which is why he operates on a contingency fee basis. This means that clients do not pay for his services upfront; instead, his fees are billed directly to the former employer, making quality legal representation accessible to all. Individuals facing wage disputes or employment-related challenges can rely on Brian’s extensive knowledge and experience to navigate the complexities of employment law. He is committed to providing personalized legal guidance and is readily available for consultations. Prospective clients can reach out via phone or email for a complimentary claims consultation, where Brian will assess their situation and outline the best course of action. For expert legal representation in employment law, particularly in wage claims, Brian A. Buchanan is the trusted advocate for employees in Oregon.
