Expert Lawyer

William remained responsive, insightful, and adaptive throughout a complex, two-year custody and parenting-time case. He proactively blocked unethical/unprofessional behavior of the opposing party from controlling the case narrative. He reminded other consultants and advisors of nuances in the law th...at they, themselves, had overlooked in my case. His determination enabled all parties to realize that an out-of-court settlement would be in the best interest of everyone involved. My children and I had a positive outcome as a direct result of William's expertise.

Effective and professional

I hired a different attorney in 2019 and my divorce case dragged on for 17 months with no progress. I then hired William Boaz. William worked harder than I would have ever imagined. He is an effective communicator and a terrific negotiator. He understands PERS and has a great skill-set for explaining... the division of investments and assets. He saved me thousands of dollars in my settlement and was able to resolve my case in less than 30 days! William really understands the emotional component in divorce and he speaks to clients with respect and compassion. He always provided legal advise and then clarified that the final decision was mine.

Very pleasant experience

William was quick to answer any and all questions I had during the process, if there were any delays for any reason he always called me to explain the situation, he turned a stressful situation into a smooth process, well worth the money!

Would highly recommend

Will worked with me for more than a year on a parenting time case that took on a life of it's own. He was communicative the whole time and laid things out in a way I could understand. When we ended up in court despite all attempts not to he was prepared and made revisions that could be signed that mo...ment. I'd recommend him to anyone, well worth the money.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am a California attorney that worked with Mr. Boaz on a divorce case involving filings in both California and Oregon. Mr. Boaz is very intelligent, prompt and efficient. His representation of my California client in the Oregon matter was superb. His reputation is so strong that other attorneys I consulted with in his area recommended him. From now on, he is the attorney I refer anyone to when they have a family law matter in his part of Oregon."

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.
