Family Law
Our family law practice addresses complex personal matters including marriage dissolution, parental rights, and domestic relations. We provide strategic counsel for clients navigating emotionally challenging situations while maintaining strict adherence to Oregon legal standards. With two decades of experience, we combine courtroom proficiency with negotiation skills to protect clients' interests in custody arrangements, property division, and spousal support determinations.
Child Custody
We specialize in child custody cases involving physical and legal custody determinations, visitation rights, and parenting plan modifications. Our approach prioritizes children's best interests while advocating for clients' parental rights. Through comprehensive case preparation and evidence presentation, we help clients achieve custody arrangements that balance family needs with legal requirements in Marion County's court system.
Child Support
Our child support services cover initial determinations, modification requests, and enforcement actions according to Oregon's child support guidelines. We assist clients with income assessment, expense documentation, and court presentation to establish fair financial arrangements. The practice maintains thorough understanding of state formulas and exceptions to ensure accurate, enforceable support orders.
Divorce
We handle all aspects of divorce proceedings from asset division to spousal support negotiations. Our practice addresses contested and uncontested divorces with equal proficiency, focusing on minimizing conflict while protecting clients' legal rights. We provide clear guidance on property classification, debt allocation, and post-divorce modifications through Oregon's judicial framework.
Juvenile Crime
Our juvenile defense practice represents minors facing delinquency charges while emphasizing rehabilitation and future protection. We work within Oregon's juvenile justice system to secure appropriate interventions rather than punitive measures. The firm's approach balances legal accountability with safeguarding young clients' educational and employment prospects through court advocacy and alternative sentencing proposals.
