About
Jeff S Napoli is an attorney with Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group in Portland, Oregon, whose practice focuses principally on employment and tort litigation. Napoli handles wrongful termination and discrimination, sexual and racial harassment, retaliation, whistleblower claims, and personal injury matters. His injury practice includes automobile and bicycle accidents, premises liability, wrongful death, and other serious accident cases. He represents clients in Oregon state courts and the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.
Napoli earned his J.D. from Gonzaga University School of Law in 1998, graduating near the top of his class. He received his B.A. from Willamette University in 1993, where he majored in Psychology and minored in Speech Communication, and also studied at Simferopol University in Ukraine. His academic background supports a litigation practice that requires careful analysis, persuasive communication, and practical evaluation of workplace and injury claims.
Before entering private practice, Napoli served as a Deputy District Attorney with the Washington County District Attorney’s Office from 1999 to 2003. In that role, he tried more than 50 cases and developed substantial courtroom experience. His current work applies that trial background to employment and tort disputes, including a reported $1.3 million settlement obtained for two utility employees in a sex-harassment case.
Jeff S Napoli is a member of the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association, Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and the Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas County bar associations. His combination of prosecution experience, civil trial work, and employment litigation provides clients with practical guidance in disputes involving workplace rights and serious injuries. He continues to represent individuals in matters that may require negotiation, litigation, or trial.
