About Peter
Biography
Peter Diamond is a people-oriented attorney who was naturally drawn to family law after an extensive and diverse practice in business, real estate, estate planning, and general litigation.
“I like people. I’m interested in people’s personalities, culture, and personal histories. And I like to help people when I can. For me, family law is both intellectually stimulating and rewarding.”
Pete is a highly skilled and efficient trial lawyer. He is also trained in collaborative divorce and offers this as an alternative to traditional, contested divorce litigation. His experience in business law and as a business owner makes him effective in complex property division matters, including family enterprises.
Clients quickly learn that Pete is committed to their cases. He is a diligent communicator and can be relied upon to pursue all details of a case to its conclusion.
“I want people to see my character, and not just hear my words. When I say something will get done, it gets done.”
Originally from Boston, Pete fell in love with Oregon while attending law school at Willamette University. He enjoys road trips, history, and spending time outdoors and with his family.
He is admitted to practice in all Oregon State Courts, the Oregon Federal District Court, and the Tribal Court of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. He regularly appears in Multnomah County, Clackamas County, Washington County, and Columbia County.

Peter C Diamond's Lawyer Endorsements
"Pete is a really solid family law attorney, perhaps the most capable attorney I’ve ever met. Pete is an icon in the family law community and he executes his craft with surgical precision."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Pete is a dream to have as opposing counsel: tough, smart, reasonable and professional. I frequently refer clients to him and know that they can look forward to excellent, compassionate representation. Pete is an asset to the family law bar and he couldn't be a nicer person."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Peter Diamond was a joy to work with on a very hotly contested divorce we had together several years ago. He was always professional, and never lost his cool, even under very trying circumstances. He took a well-reasoned position and tried to resolve the case short of trial, in order to save his client money and avoid the emotional tumult of trying the case. While our clients despised each other, he and I remained cordial in our attempts to reach a mutually agreeable settlement of the case.After a few hours of shuttling back and forth with our clients and the judge, we were able to resolve the case on the day of trial. I enjoy working with Peter and know when he is on the other side, there will be no pointless posturing; he's fair, honest and a born problem solver. Highly recommended."
