I absolutely recommend Jordan New

I hired Jordan and am so glad I did. He has professionally fought on our behalf and delivered real results. His extensive experience and knowledge proved to be an incredible asset. I highly recommend Jordan's services to anyone in need of representation in family law proceedings.

Simply the best!

My family recently went through an unexpected upheaval, we believed we had no choice but to accept and move on from an unbearable and unthinkable situation. Then we had the privilege of having Jordan New and his firm make a stand on our behalf. Aside from being trustworthy, attentive, prompt and ...professional Jordan New went the extra mile to offer not only his legal expertise but his emotional support as well. Jordan was thoughtful, thorough, and patient. Not only did we prevail in court, the peace of mind Mr. New was able to give to my family is simply monumental. His representation far exceed even our highest expectations. We will be highly recommending Jordan New and his firm. Do not hesitate to hire Brincat & New they are FIRST CLASS.

I highly recommend Jordan New for complicated divorce situations...

I have been working with Jordan New for almost 2 years to complete my divorce process with a highly uncooperative other party. This was a highly stressful process for myself and my children, we were faced with a lot of “unknowns” as we navigated through it. Not only was Jordan highly organized, eff...icient, and consistently available, he was a rock in my storm so to speak. While Jordan was very sympathetic to the situation my children and I were placed in, he helped to keep me grounded in the facts and the paths we needed to take forward to ultimately complete our process. Jordan is ethical, kind, and professional and these are the skills he utilizes to get the job done. Jordan is also highly intelligent and I never once had to question his legal advice or get another opinion. 18 months later, my divorce is complete and my life is finally able to start stabilizing. I recommend Jordan New to EVERYONE, He is the only attorney that I will ever use if future issues present themselves.

A weak and incompetent attorney, do NOT use!

Jordan New is the weakest and most incompetent attorney I have ever known. He does not understand Veterans disability issues regarding divorce, AT ALL; and will not fight for your rights, it's really that simple. He wants any easy path and did not do even a modicum of legal research on what turned ...out to be complex legal issue regarding my property rights. But his poor handling of my divorce was not simply neutral, he actually made my result worse than if I simply walked into court without any representation. He capitulated in most of my ex-wife's demands and his demeanor in court made the judge realize he doesn't care about the best possible outcome for me. This was obvious even to another attorney present, whose client told me as much. Worse he wasn't even paying attention at trial half the time. I could actually write quite a bit more but I think it is simply belaboring the point. There are FAR better attorney's that will be able to represent you, do not make the same mistake as I did. If you read "excellent" reviews on AVVO for Jordan it doesn't mean this review isn't accurate, it means that person probably had relatively simple issues or he liked that person better; at any rate I would not in any way recommend Jordan New to represent you, in what is most likely a very stressful time in your life.

Replied last November 08, 2018

This particular client received an unfavorable but not surprising outcome at trial because of the facts of his individual case and his unwillingness to follow my legal advice, despite my zealous representation and rigorous attempts to steer him toward a reasonable resolution. The courts have confirmed to him multiple times after my representation ended that his desired outcome was simply baseless. A fee arbitration panel further confirmed that my advocacy was competent and zealous, and that this client’s requested arguments were unreasonable and not based in law. Unfortunately this client - instead of taking the trial court's rulings, the appellate court's rulings, and the fee arbitration decision to heart - has decided to retaliate against me by posting negative reviews online. While I empathize with this client’s frustration, his expectations were unrealistic, he disregarded my advice, and he does not understand the law, particularly in relation to Veteran’s benefits. I can assure any potential client that, per all of my other positive reviews, you can feel secure that this review is simply a disgruntled client who lacks introspection. I thank you for taking the time to research potential lawyers before making such an important decision.

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Jordan as an attorney. I appreciate the way he handled my case from our initial phone call to our final settlement. I found Jordan to be professional, incredibly proficient in his family law knowledge and a man of integrity. He is a timely and effective communicator and always h...ad my best interests at heart. I feel Jordan managed my legal aspects with candor, speed and an eye for detail. He is an expert in his field at what feels like a discounted rate.

"Jordan and I both started out as Deputy District Attorneys in one of the busiest offices in the state, Multnomah County. It was common for attorneys in our position to have multiple trials per week, sometimes 3-4. Jordan had an impeccable trial record and a sterling reputation. Since leaving the District Attorney's office Jordan has broadened his area of practice handling family law and medical malpractice. I've known Jordan for over 7 years now, and I can say with confidence that his work and professionalism are of a very high quality."
