Tara J Herivel

My son filed a habeas & Tara has fought for him through all of it. With the exception of 2 charges brought against the Department of Corrections there in Oregon my son won with Tara's help! She's an awesome attorney & I an so glad my son has her in his corner on this! The article on this case was in ...the Oregon Live newspaper which I feel set a president on how our Combat Vets are treated while incarcerated.

Tara Herivel worked on our custody case representing my wife and our family against my wife's ex in a dispute over parenting time for our child. There is so much to say about Tara - and all of it good. Tara has worked this case with our family for over two years. Aside from our own immediate fam...ily, nobody has stood with and defended us like Tara has. Our custody case was very contentious, and it was often not without drama and craziness. But Tara was able to get us past all of that to really always be one or two steps ahead of the game. Tara was more than our courtroom attorney. Tara guided us in every aspect of a custody dispute, inside the court and out. If ever there was a question as to how we should handle a situation, Tara was only a phone call away. But in the court, Tara knew her craft, and was just wonderful at bringing out the truth. Being represented by Tara, we never felt for a moment that we were “taking our chances” with a judge’s decision. Tara was everything we could’ve hoped for in a lawyer. I could praise Tara’s work for us all day, but this review is also to feature was services specifically were provided. Tara was able to modify our custody agreement after showing to the court that the other party had very low capacity for effective parenting. She was able to arrange supervised visitation (from previous unsupervised visitation) between other party and our child. When other party was unable to comply with the court’s order Tara was able to show the courts that complete suspension of visitation was warranted. Tara fulfilled every role in this case. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it’s been having her as our attorney.
