As a client of Michael’s, I was impressed with his background and training in conflict resolution. His focus was first on the best interests of our child, not solely on the interests of either parent. It was a relief to work with someone that truly had compassion and actively listened to me and my... concerns and questions about family law issues. In addition, Michael was able to connect me with professionals in the field that provided valuable consultation. The Portland metro area is fortunate to have Michael Dwyer. It is not surprising that he was named “Lawyer of the Year” for Family Law Mediation in 2015 and 2017. Well earned and deserved! I would recommend Michael without any hesitation or reservation to a colleague or friend.

Michael came highly recommended to my former spouse and myself as we were going through our divorce, and with good reason. Having him as our Mediator was the best decision we could have made. Michael is extremely knowledgeable, professional and, most of all, caring. He helped us to focus on what matt...ered most, and led us to an amicable and fair result that we were both pleased with. I have no doubt that the positive co-parenting relationship that my former spouse and I share today is a direct result of Michael’s guidance. I would refer anyone I care about to Michael without hesitation.”
