About Lewis

A Portland Oregon family law attorney who specializes in divorce, child custody & family law cases.

Family was always important to me growing up.  My father’s family were pioneers that settled in Clark County in the 1800s and many are still there today.  My grandfather and grandmother met when they were both in law school at University of Oregon and I remember that feeling of awe when I would get to visit him at his law office.  I could tell that important work was happening, and that my grandfather was helping people.  So a few years after finishing my undergraduate degree, I knew I had to follow in his footsteps.

 

Like my family before me, I feel an obligation to help people and to make a difference in my community.  Family law was an obvious choice.  I have two little boys myself and know the joys and challenges of raising children.  At Landerholm Law we really focus on protecting children and on helping them move forward from a divorce in a way that is least damaging.  Another passion I have is that I believe everyone should have access to justice, and so for the last four years have been building a practice that allows affordable access to legal services in the family law arena.

Review Lewis Landerholm

Outstanding Attorney!

Posted by

I can't thank Lewis enough. He has been such a fantastic attorney. From the very beginning he was very straightforward and honest and was very upfront in letting me know what to expect. I'm so glad that I was able to hire him to fight for the custody of my children. I would have been completely lost without his help and my kids would not have ended up with me as primary parent without all of his hard work. His firm was so professional in how they handled everything and they were always available when I needed to talk or was stressed about our trial. Thank you so much for all the hard work. I would tell everyone to hire you.
Lewis Landerholm's response: I"m terribly late in responding to this, but I just wanted to say thank you and that you were a pleasure to have as a client. Just know I am always here should you need me ever again. I wish you all the best.

Lewis Landerholm is an intelligent, compassionate, and a ethical attorney who I highly recommend.

Mr. Lewis Landerholm is an intelligent, compassionate, and an ethical attorney. Lewis quickly took action on my behalf in what has proven itself to be a highly complicated and extremely distressing case. His representation of me and his ability to prevail in court is incredible. He is a man of honorable character, integrity, professionalism, and is full of knowledge. When I hired Lewis, I not only hired one extremely wonderful person; I hired a stellar team. Along with Lewis, attorney Joanna Posey, Shelly, and Josh have been working tirelessly to pull all the pieces together, which is something that has far outweighed my expectations. Since 2011 Lewis and his team have represented me in family law; divorce, child custody, domestic violence and adoption. I will be forever grateful for what Lewis and his team have done to protect the safety and best interests of my daughter and I! I would highly recommend Lewis and Landerholm Law without hesitation!
Lewis Landerholm's response: Athena Thank you so much for that wonderful endorsement. You are right in that we work as a team here. We believe that our clients deserve an army of support and we all feel connected to our clients. They are never just a case to us, and our goal is to help empower them and help create a better future. We felt honored to have you as a client.
