When one wishes to climb Mount Everest they employ Sherpa’s, who are known as elite Mountaineers, and are use as guides for mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas. When one goes through a divorce or child custody it feels as though you are about to ascend a mountain that is unconquerable; your... quest for a good lawyer that can guide you through this is an important one that will have a great impact for the rest of your life. Mr. Jon Berman was my guide whose empathy, knowledge of the law and ability to exceed all my expectations, helped me conquer my trek through this rigorous mountain… called Divorce! I will forever feel in debt to Mr. Berman for going beyond the call of duty; thank you Jon for your patience and understanding- D.F

When our son unexpectedly left us with his two young sons, we did not know where to turn. Their mother had not lived with the children in over a year & gave them to my son who then brought them to Portland from another state. We had no idea where our son was or what his plans were, we just knew... he was not in control of himself and could not care for his sons, at all. A trusted friend recommended Jon. We met with Jon and he was absolutely wonderful. He sat with us for over an hour as we described our situation to him. He knew exactly what to do and answered every one of our questions and more. He was more then competent. He held our hand throughout the whole process of gaining custody. He worked diligently with the children's mother who lives out of state explaining the whole process to her and exactly what her rights were. If you are needing a lawyer who is friendly, honest, trustworthy & knowledgeable I highly recommend Jon Berman.
