Trustworthy, caring and highly competent!

Tom hit it out of the park for me! I would use him again in a heartbeat. If you're on the fence between Tom and another attorney - go with Tom. I've worked with a few attorneys over the years in Portland - Tom is by far the best I've had. My ex-wife and I were disagreeing with parenting time and m...y son's wellbeing when all of a sudden I was slapped with a Restraining Order (based on lies). The RO was used as a tool against me to prevent me from exercising parenting time. If I lost my hearing where I got to contest it, it would have been disastrous for me and my family! Tom was able to explain all the potential avenues we could take and navigate me through the entire process which really helped me calm my nerves. When we went to court, Tom's steady demeanor helped me again remain confident that we could win. In the end, it wasn't even close - Tom helped me get the RO dismissed in it's entirety!! I plan to keep him on retainer for whenever I need help with any more drama that may come up throughout the years. Tom is well worth it! I have zero complaints. I wouldn't be where I am today without him!

Definitely an Attorney I would recommend!

Tom Brasier recently helped my brother establish paternity for his daughter and then agreed to continue on as his attorney to help him gain full parental custody. This was not an easy case by any means as there were many challenges throughout the process. Tom was very knowledgeable and explai...ned things so that our family was aware of what to expect throughout the entire process. He was always professional and honest with us. He was very personable and knew all of us by first name within only a couple of meetings. During the court hearings I had an opportunity to remain in the courtroom. Mr. Brasier was confident in his interaction with the Judge and his arguments for our case were outstanding in comparison to the other attorney. You could tell he was prepared and new from personal experience how to successfully address the Judge presiding over our case. He did so well that the last court date that was expected to be a full day ended up being only a couple of hours with no testimony having to be brought before the judge. He had successfully negotiated the case himself in the Judge's chambers and was able to win my brother full custody of his daughter. I am so thankful my brother found Tom as his attorney! He went above and beyond and was able to get my niece removed from a harmful living situation to the arms of a father who loved her and wanted to provide a stable loving home life! Our family will be forever grateful!

A Great Family Attorney

Mr. Brasier is a great attorney. As a single father fighting for the rights of my son, I had ran into many obsticles with our system. My son was taken out of the state by his mother, who had custody. Mr. Brasier always kept me informed about every step. Where I failed to keep my son here in Oregon, M...r. Brasier was able to win my case and have my son ordered back to Oregon, from Washington. Mr. Brasier's legal abilities are well worth the money spent. Garuanteed, I will recommend him and use him again, if I need an family law attorney.

BEST Decision I have ever made for my family!!!!

I came to Tom after spending a little more than a year and a half & nearly $50,000 with a different attorney. Tom immediately reviewed my case and advised that we were approaching this case all the wrong way especially with the Judge we were in front of. After going through hell for nearly 2 years in... an out of court and being separated from my daughter less my infrequent visits, Tom not only got good results he won us FULL CUSTODY!! Shortly after winning full custody I was laid off and the only job I could find was in another state. So I called Tom and BAM he helped my family get rights to move with my daughter out of state. Tom helped my family be, well, a family. For that my Wife, Children & I say thank you and we all HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tom to anyone who is looking for a good family law attorney!

Recommended Divorce Attorney

Tom Brasier got me results for less money and in less time than my previous attorney. I have already given his name to friends and family in need of a family law attorney. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
