C Sean Stephens

As a young mother, I struggled to hold onto the only thing I found dear to me. I worked hard to provide for my daughter a home during a time where I should have been discovering myself. I was taken advantage of by the one person I loved and trusted, when I was left to pick up the broken pieces alone,... I had a fight on two fronts as my ex's parents tried to take my baby girl away from me, holding her hostage and disallowing me to even see her when they had no right. When I decided to fight, I did my research and spoke to people about who I should trust with my case. I was given several names, but the only one who really connected with me was Sean Stephens. I was right to name him Champion of my cause, because honestly, that is who he is. Sean was with me every step of the way, when I was scared, he gave me confidence. When I made mistakes, he helped me see them and advised me on how to do things right. I was bullied by those who opposed us, but he was there, taking the brunt of it for me. His attitude and his humanity was only overshadowed by his expertise. I was afraid all of those legal documents were going to eat me alive, however Stephens and his team were so knowledgeable and precise they explained everything to me in an easy to digest way that made those overwhelming papers seem like lunch. Everything they did was prompt, even when I panicked and called him on his vacation, they all responded in kind with dedication. I never had to question their work and all progression felt just like that, progression. During my case, I ended up running out of funds. Sean had gotten the short end of the stick and it seemed like my ex was never going to pay court ordered Attorney fees. I did my best to make payments on his invoice and we kept in communication the entire time. I feel like it was a difficult situation for him but he remained my attorney to the end. It's not about how much you pay per hour, it's about how good they really are. They have all earned that. Even to this day, he is happy to take my calls and absolutely ready to fight for me anytime. It has been an honor to write this review for him and the least he deserves for all he had done. I still owe you that beer.

I came to Sean after finding out that I was in need of legal council in a custody case that was very distressful. The urgency of the situation was severe and Sean/his staff made time for me to come in the following morning. I really appreciated how accommodating and supportive they were from the begi...nning before receiving any financial compensation. When I met with Sean I immediately felt that I could trust him and that he was not just any family attorney. His knowledge and expertise were evident from the start and I hired him immediately. I had worked with an attorney before and knew that Sean was a complete gem. He brought so much more to the table than the other I had seen before. From start-to-finish of a very drawn out and difficult case (lasting nearly two years) Sean has been with me all the way. Not only did he win my case for me when there were some real challenges, but he talked to me on terms that I could understand without throwing a bunch of ORS regulations at me and telling me to do my homework. I am still working with him today, after our case was completed, to wrap up a few things in order to bring even more success my way. He continues to excel in what he does, he is proactive, and we have established a great working relationship. I am extremely pleased with his expertise, confidence, professionalism, and willing attitude. He isn't afraid to advise me on his recommendations even if they are regarding "sensitive" subject matter and he does it in a way that is friendly and good-natured. I believe that more than anything if you are entering into a family law/custody/child support case you need someone like Sean who has the experience, authority, and dedication that it takes to win. He doesn't cut corners and he is willing to put in the time and energy for the long haul. I feel that Sean has educated me along the way so that I am prepared to understand the laws and rights of myself and my child. Do yourself a favor and contact Sean for an initial consultation. The money you spend will be worth it and I believe you will be convinced that he will be your advocate and he knows what it takes to win. It will be money well spent, trust me!!

Sean Stephens is an amazing attorney... I was referred to Sean by the St. Andrew's Legal Clinic in Portland, who had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. Sean quickly took action on my behalf in what has proven itself to be a highly complicated and extremely distressing situation with my ...soon-to-be ex husband. His representation of me and his ability to prevail in court is incredible. He is a man of honorable character, integrity, professionalism, and full of knowledge. When I hired Sean, I not only hired one extremely wonderful person; I hired a stellar team. Jon, Kaori, and Christina have been working tirelessly to pull all the pieces together, which is something that has also far outweighed my expectations. I will be forever grateful for what Sean and his team have done to protect the best interests of my son and I!

Sean has been an extreme blessing in my current complex divorce. Sean recently represented me when my husband contested a restraining order and I couldn't have been more impressed . Sean is professional, knowledgeable, and always has the best interest of myself and my children in the forefront of any... decision that needs to be made.I would recommend Sean and Stephens Margolin without hesitation!
