Dylan M. Cernitz

Dylan provided excellent advice and outcomes in my dissolution case. He was always well prepared for our meetings and his follow up was consistent and timely. He was professional throughout grueling mediations and played a strategic role in reaching agreement. He used his time efficiently which he...lped keep the cost of the process down. I would highly recommend Dylan to anyone.

When Dylan helped resolve a highly contentious child support issue several years ago, he was effective, efficient, and got an expedient result negotiated and successfully executed on behalf of my family. Thank you as well, Dylan, for being a willing sounding board regarding a newly emerging issue, e...ven when it meant that I wouldn’t be using your services in the immediate future. I know from my interactions with you that you do care and have your client’s best interest at heart when offering your professional advice. I continue to be thankful that you are on my team.

Just over a year ago I was faced with the unimaginable; a lifelong partner that had just come to the decision that she wanted to change the future trajectory of her life and in doing so impacted my life trajectory as well. While reticent at first to formally start the legal ball rolling, my dad t...old me a number of times, “never bring a knife to a gun fight.” With that in mind I reached out to several Partners at legal practices in the Portland Area of which I had a corporate relationship. The question was simple, “who is the best law firm in Oregon to represent me in a divorce preceding?” The name Gevurtz Menashe came up again and again. I contacted Gevurtz Menashe and after a few quick questions the staff at their office was able to match me up with the appropriate representative of their law firm. I went to the meeting to listen, learn and interview Dylan Cernitz . . . I left a client. Whether you are playing offensive or defense it’s all about putting a strong game plan together and executing that plan effectively. Dylan’s leadership and legal counsel made a difficult situation manageable. While we initially started on defense, Dylan quickly switched us to playing offense and we never looked back. In a high stakes, high tension environment, don’t misinterpret Dylan’s low key approach to addressing the matter at hand. When it gets down to making the hard decisions and emotions are running high, you’ll be glad to see Dylan unshaken by events and still focused on the task at hand . . . getting his client the best deal possible. Dylan is particularly well suited to address “situations” which involve a complex and/or lengthy list of financial assets and even difficult business valuations. At some point in the process it all comes down to getting your list of assets laid out in a spreadsheet and totaled up for subsequent division. Based upon my experience, I would recommend you take the time to meet with Dylan Cernitz and the Gevurtz Menashe team. It will be time well spent.
