Let Bier Family Law ease the way.
I have been practicing family law almost exclusively since 1990, and in 2007, I opened Bier Family Law. We are comfortably situated in Beaverton with ample parking and a calming view of Koll Center Wetlands, where we see clients in a variety of difficult circumstances and treat each person with the utmost of care and respect.
I love my job. Family law allows me to exercise diametrically opposed skills: I hand-hold and counsel people through perhaps the roughest emotional time of their lives while actively safe-guarding their current and future interests. As a client advocate I also play the role of negotiator both in and out of court. Whether protecting my clients' custody rights or parenting time, or advocating for a fair agreement in issues of support or regarding the division of assets, I do everything within my power to do what’s right by my clients.
I welcome all inquiries for an initial consultation, which allows prospective clients to decide whether the match is a good one before retaining me. During the consult, I hear details of the case, and provide a legal overview as well as a projected estimate of the cost. There are often both tears and laughter at this meeting. Getting started is the hardest part, but picking up a phone is relatively easy. If you need sensitive and effective legal advice or help in a family matter, call 503.595.4141 and make an appointment to see me.
Practice areas
Divorce comprises the bulk of Ms. Bier's practice, which includes negotiation and modification of support issues (both child and spousal), as well as issues of custody and domestic violence. Ms. Bier works strenuously on her clients' behalf to avoid trial and reach settlement whenever possible. When cases do go to trial, she prepares rigorously and often prevails. Ms. Bier also presides about once monthly in Washington County's divorce court as a pro tem judge.

Spousal Support is paid by one party to the other depending on several financial factors, like who earns more, retirement plans, assets owned and so on. Our attorney can help you determine whether you are entitled to receive support.

Even in an uncontested divorce, parties can benefit from legal advice to ensure fair resolution. Some people discover too late that they signed an unfair but binding settlement that cannot be undone. Consult an attorney before signing anything.
