Best Attorney

Bob Demary is an amazing attorney. I used him to secure custody of my child during a difficult time. He cared deeply about my situation, providing amazing legal expertise with a real personal touch. I left another law office to hire Mr. Demary and was not disappointed. He was a real "bull dog" and pu...t my ex's attorney in his place constantly. He saved me and my daughter. If you have a difficult case and want to work with someone that is professional and cares for you personally, you need to call him.

Difficult Divorce and Custody Case

Bob was awesome. I was in the middle of a very complicated divorce and custody battle, when I switched to Bob because things were not moving forward. . He got more done in two weeks than my other attorney did in six months. The final outcome was nearly $100.000 more in my favor than the recommended ...settlement my previous attorney was suggesting, and $1500 per month less alimony. I cannot be more pleased with his expertise and aggressiveness needed in my case! I definitely highly recommend Bob, for any divorce case, and especially where there is a lot of wealth at stake.

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

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
