Child Custody 40%

My firm primarily practices family law cases and for a lot of the cases and modifications that come in, one of the main issues is custody. I try to provide my clients with sensible solutions to get them what they want and provide them with the best service possible.

DUI and DWI 30%

I represent clients that have DUII's in the state of Oregon. I represent clients going to trial on DUII and also help clients get into diversion if that is what they want to do. I also work with clients and fight for them to avoid jail time if it is at all possible.

Divorce and Separation 30%

The main focus of my practice is divorce and separation. I work with clients to fight for their rights and make sure that they get a fair settlement in any divorce. This includes fighting for their custody rights, and making sure that any property that is divided is divided fairly for my client.

Will hire again

I called and got a appointment made to get a consultation. I showed up and went over what was going on and what the situation is. I knew I wanted to get custody of my kids but didn't know if it was going to be an option. Seeing the consultation I was told I have a good case and can possibly get custo...dy of my kids. So I hired him and shortly after now I have full custody of my kids. The kids are happy too be back after not being able to see them for about 8 months. Thanks for the help will be meeting with you again for a second case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
