Robert F Demary

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.

I hired Bob on the recommendation of a family member of mine who had been previously represented by Bob. Bob was professional and down to earth in our dealings prior to court in person, by phone, and by email. He let me know what to expect through the process and gave an accurate projection of the l...ikely court proceeding. Then, at our court appearance he changed. That was the day that I really met Bob. He became both intense and ruthless. There were a barrage of tough questions fired at my ex when Bob was questioning, and objections made when he wasn't. My ex's lawyer was both outmatched and outclassed. I am so glad Bob was on my side of the courtroom. The judge returned a judgment for parenting time that was what I had been hoping and praying for, and nowhere close to what my ex was asking. I can't begin to convey the gratitude that I feel for what Bob has done for my family. I would recommend him to anyone.

Does not return phone calls in timely manor. Double bills !!! If your divorce is a simple one and all you need is paperwork filed this guy may be an ok choice. If you are involved in a battle and will be in court, not a good option. In the final entry of my proceedings he reported the settlement... terms ambiguously, assured me it was ok and it was not! He filed a motion on my behalf we went to court where he then sat there and tried to convince me to drop it. I said I didn't want to he stated if it comes back up he'll file again for free which it did and he didn't. $1500 later I'm exactly where i started. I seriously advise you to keep looking. This guy will make all the promises and tough talk of a used car salesman, but doesn't back it up.
