Horrible work ethic, poor follow though. Played mind games to prolong a custody battle. Has his own agenda. My ex and I settled own custody battle after ditching Valent and were much better for it. Not after spending thousands for nothing. He is a peice of work

I was referred to Bill by a criminal law attorney and a trust attorney who both had worked with Bill and had been impressed by his fair business practices and willingness to listen and apply the facts of case.

If you have a case that looks like it might go to trial, this is the lawyer to hire in Portland. I admit that I was a bit nervous that Bill was prepared for my case before our trial date.

"Bill and I represented different parties in a custody dispute involving multiple issues and actively-developing areas of the law. That case settled and the parties are the better for it. Bill is a formidable advocate for his clients and is a high-value asset to the Portland legal community. His expertise and talent in the family law realm is well known."
"I had a case opposite of Bill Valent in 1989. He was thorough and a solid advocate on behalf of his client, but always willing to settle if the deal was fair. We settled that case. He has been handling much of my complex family law trial work since that time. I have never regretted making a client referral to him. He is an excellent trial attorney who is willing to avoid trial when appropriate for the client. Mr. Valent has the knowledge, perseverance and wisdom to achieve excellent results."
