A Light of Hope

Divorce has been the most difficult and painful experience of my life. London was a light through all of the transition. She listened, navigated, negotiated with integrity and care. Her expertise and clarity supported the choices I needed to make as I was in repair of a transitioning life. Prior t...o meeting London I did not feel safe, knowledgeable, or supported in the judiciary system . I was scared. The thoughts of not being able to protect my 7 year old daughter kept me up at night. The anxiety was impacting every aspect of my life. London is a person who can hear your concern and directly address it. Her responses were immediate and thoughtful as I felt she respected the urgency of what I was moving through. London and her team know multiple ways of moving through a situation. I appreciated her honesty, understanding, and offering of choices. London advocated for a plan that worked for everyone. Her advocacy has given my family a sense of restoration, reciprocity, and hope.

Incredible attention to clients needs

I had a trial in less than a month, that I hoped I could do solo. I soon realized I needed additional help with Oregon case law. London came extremely highly recommended and now I know why. She took me on weeks before trial and scrambled to get caught up. Drafted and prepped the trial memo, helped pr...ep all the exhibits and my testimony. Without her, I don't know if I would have won. Thankfully, the trial memo was so detail oriented with case law, I was able to get full custody of all three kids and move them. Thank you London for everything!

Top Notch

Dissolving my marriage was the most stressful thing I've ever had to do. As someone who suffers from severe anxiety, I found London's calm, confident demeanor reassuring at every turn. Nothing is going to make the process any easier on an emotional level, but knowing that London was always availabl...e to answer my questions meant that someone had my back the through the whole process. I highly recommend this attorney.

Superb communicator and writer

London promptly explains complex legal jargon, practices, and issues to her clients with kindness, clarity, and efficiency. London's legal writing skills are superb because she uses concrete, precise details that truly reflect the client's wishes. I was treated with kindness and respect throughout th...e divorce process which I appreciated greatly. I felt 100% included in the process at all times. I highly recommend this family law attorney.

Compassionate and heard me

London was so wonderful to work with. She listened to me and kept me informed of all my options. I hope I don’t have another divorce but I’d be happy to have London on my side whatever comes up.
