Kaori Tanabe Eder

I retained Kaori to gain sole legal and physical custody of my 2 year old son. I was in the midst of managing a new independent consultant business, relocating out-of-state to be closer to my family, being a single parent and fighting a ridiculous custody battle with an erratic, irrational and deadb...eat ex. Kaori "got it" right away and focused on what was most important (the safety of me and my child) and took care of business. She knows how to navigate the system, stay focused on a strategy, support me emotionally...and win. With her expertise, I have custody of my son, and the judge also awarded me almost 75% of her attorney fees from the opposing. I am forever grateful for her availability and responsiveness, no-nonsense approach, focus and calm demeanor. She and her team got me through the most difficult year of my life. Without hesitation, I recommend her as highly as I can with words.

Kaori helped me through what should have been an amicable divorce, which turned unpleasant because of the ex's attorney. Kaori had a clear strategy, knew what family law and the Multnomah County courts were likely to do, and kept me from climbing the walls while things dragged out. She preserved my... financial future too; I think she got me a good settlement, I still have joint custody of my kids, and she was instrumental in keeping the case out of court (not for lack of trying on the ex's attorney's part). Kaori is capable, clever, and efficient.
