Don't get divorced without this guy!!!

Bob handled my ugly divorce and child custody case with professionalism and grace. He is a bulldog and knows how to navigate bullies from the other side. He also brings humor and compassion to the table making the situation real and human. He treated me with respect and I never felt like I was just a... "client." He was genuinely concerned about the best interest of me and my children. He is incredibly knowledgeable and sharp. I would highly recommend Bob in any situation where divorce is ugly and custody is a sticky situation.

Child custody issue

Bob helped me navigate an extremely challenging divorce case with kindness and human compassion helping me keep my daughter's priorities in the forefront. I had hired an initial attorney that had gotten me into a very difficult position simply by the way that we had chosen to respond to my ex's attor...ney position. I was faced with what seemed as an insurmountable situation with one of the top attorney's in Portland (Stahancyk) on the opposing council and limitless funds on my ex's side. Bob gave clear advice as to what realistically could be achieved given the situation and helped me keep the heightened emotional aura of the situation in check. Divorce is an extremely painful time for everyone involved and I am grateful for having had Bob on my side. He used the art of compromise to achieve the best outcome possible while keeping with a core professional ethic of acting in the best interest of the child.

Bob Demary

Bob was a excellent lawyer winning me the sole custody of my two boys. He was very friendly and took time answer questions and explained the process to me in words I could understand

excellent lawyer

Bob was excellent to work with during my unpleasant divorce proceedings. He was responsive to my questions and never acted put out to provide explanations. He knew my case well and reccomended different strategies based on risk. He has a great sense of humor which helped me keep things light in a ...highly emotional situation. Bob is clearly well known and has good working relationships with other lawyers and judges. His assistant Julie was quite helpful and had excellent follow-through. Everyone at Gevurtz Menashe was professional and kind.

A "Real" attorney who is honest and forthright.

Bob was referred to me by a friend of mine and highly recommended. Upon my first meeting with Bob I knew I was dealing with an attorney that was understanding, knowledgeable, and professional. At the same time he was compassionate and I realized he was going to help me through a very difficult time... in my life. Bob did exactly that and I'm very thankful. He always answered/returned my calls. He has a sense of humor and is down to earth. I am more than satisfied with his representation. Thank you Bob!
