sale of business

I worked with Jack Dekovich on my sale of a small interest in a business. Jack was completely professional and competent in handling the other parties involved on the other side of sale. They were giving me the run around but when jack came into the sales process he wrote them a letter and we settl...ed the next week for much more money than I had expected. great work. Jack is a super friendly person also to work with. my highest recommendation to use him. Jeff Hughes

Family lawyer | Nov 03

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Jack is a formidable but compassionate advocate who truly cares about his clients and has their best interests at heart. In the few years I have known him, I have watched Jack develop into a knowledgable and experienced family lawyer with a wide circle of influence. Jack knows how to navigate the minefields of domestic relations law and the courtroom to advance his clients' interests, while never losing sight of their humanity. He approaches both his law practice and his life with a healthy dose of humor and optimism, seasoned with his own unique brand of personal charisma. In fact, Jack is so charismatic and memorable that a certain Portland restaurant recently named one of their pizzas after him! Jack is the only attorney I know who can claim that distinction. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking a domestic relations attorney in Portland."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
