PERS Litigation Cases »

PERS Litigation Disclaimer

This website was prepared to provide general information about the PERS cases Bennett, Hartman, Morris & Kaplan, LLP is handling on behalf of individual members of public sector labor unions participating in the PERS Coalition, a group organized to protect the pension interests of their members. This website does not, and is not intended to, provide legal advice. Neither transmission nor receipt of information contained in this website will create an attorney-client relationship, and Bennett, Hartman, Morris & Kaplan, LLP does not represent you based on your visit or review of this website.

Given the great number of PERS participants impacted by PERS litigation, we cannot respond to individual questions about PERS issues or about how current litigation may impact individual rights. If you are or were a union member and you have questions or concerns regarding PERS litigation, we recommend you contact your union representative, even if your union is not a member of the PERS Coalition. If you are retired, many unions have active retiree groups that may be able to provide information. Links to many unions and additional PERS information can be found through www.oregoniansforretirementsecurity.net/. If you were not a union member during your employment, you may want to consider contacting Oregon PERS Retirees, Inc. (OPRI), a group of non-union retirees who have formed this organization to protect their rights. You can find information about OPRI at www.opri.org.

Finally and most importantly, if you have questions about your individual rights or need legal advice we strongly urge you to contact an attorney who can review your personal issues and circumstances and provide advice about your legal rights. If you do not have an attorney you can call the Oregon State Bar's referral service (503) 684-3763, which can suggest an attorney in your area.
