Posted by anonymous | October 02, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Compassion and Honesty

Lillian Watson was my attorney for a chapter 13 bankruptcy which just closed. Her service was stellar. She not only knows the law, but explains it clearly to her client. She is unfailingly honest about the process and what to expect, and doesn't candy-coat it. She does this all with a compassion that... I never expected, and I never doubted that she was in my court for the entire time. She responded promptly to any questions or concerns, and when a traumatic event happened during the 5 years, she helped guide me through the parts that were relevant to the bankruptcy. I will hire her again for any family law or estate planning needs in the future, and I strongly recommend her for anyone needing bankruptcy assistance.

Lillian was an angel in disguise, She helped my children and I when i felt like no one could help. I had a very messy and sad custody case and she was the rock we needed to get through it, very professional and also caring about the situation. She is amazing I would hire her again and when anyone as...ks what firm i went through I will always mention her. Thank you

Truly the best

Best attorney in Portland surrounding areas. I hired Lillian in 2010 after a very complicated separation, I was with my Ex husband for 17yrs and had two boys with him, one whom had alot of medical issuses. All my money was tied up in treatment and prescriptions for my child. I was attempting to... represent myself, while my ex had hired a high dollar attorney. I was forced at that point to hire an attorney. I was referred to Lillian by a co-worker who was going through her at that same time. The first time I meet Lillian, she sat with me and listened to my storry and looked through what I had, I had court in just a few days and was no where ready to face another lawyer. Lillian said to me " everything will be ok, we need to act fast" I explained that I had no money to give her and she took me on anyway, I made a promise I would give her something every month, and promised I would pay her as soon as I got settlement and more court came and where I could not. Finally 2 pluse years later she is paid in full. Where else could you turn to for help without a dime to your name, but rather a promise. Lillian is amazing, she is treated me like a daughter, she seen me through from mid mess to finsh! With the mess I had when I seen her I never thought in a million years it would turn out in my favor and it did! Her right hand Deanna is also wonderful, she coached me and mentored me through this all. I can't tell you how many times I would sit there and she would watch me cry and be there to pick me up. What team is all I have to say about this team!!!

The Best!!

If you need a practical and creative solution to a complicated legal problem (divorce) look no farther than Lillian Watson. She took the time to understand my situation (time and finances) and put together a solution that was effective and efficient avoiding expensive court proceedings while providin...g me with a favorable outcome. Legal brilliance, compassion and common sense are her trademarks. Gresham Family & Bankruptcy Law is a proven team of legal professionals worthy of one's consideration when in need of legal expertise. I recommend them without any reservation! Steve

Divorce & custody

The moment of walking into the office, I was greeted and treated kindly. It's not a stuffy office where you feel intimidated. The staff is very nice and helpful. Upon meeting Lillian, I was at ease. I walked in with the weight of the world on my shoulders, and after spending an hour discussing th...e case, I was at complete ease. She allowed me to not worry about the case and handled it with concern and professionalism. Most attorneys that I know, and have worked with, are after the dollar, but Lillian actually cared about my children, myself and the case. I respect and highly recommend Lillian. I wish I had started my case with her, however she finished it and I was happy with her performance
