Mr Case came highly recommended and now I know why

I spent quite a bit of time beforehand talking with different people looking to find the best divorce attorney around the Salem Oregon area. Mr. Case was the name that was given to me by a couple different people and came up quite often as someone you would want to get if you can, as your divorce at...torney. John and his assistant Terrie represented me through custody battle but also a year down the road with a modification of custody, both of which were highly successful. Everything we did were attempted to do was successful. I should also add , my divorce and custody situation was not at all simple. It involved aspects of a adoption, multicultural issues, lots of assets, and I am the father; which I think for many dads there's a concern about a potential court bias towards the mother. Not only was my experience extremely positive working with Mr. Case and his team, but also it was frankly very reasonably priced. When you get exceptional legal service, you often expect you're probably going to get hosed along the way. That wasn't at all my experience. In a nutshell finding and then having the opportunity to have Mr. Case represent me was one of the best investments I've ever made.

Cannot go wrong with John Case!

John Case and his team helped me with my custody case. I have 2 children and they were out of state with their father when this all started. After 10+ years of friendly co-parenting my world crumbled. Mr. Case and his paralegal Terri were confident, reassuring and got to work. Within a month we had a... court date and my children were soon home where they belonged. Mr. Case is professional and knows how to use the law to produce for his clients. He is direct and kept my emotions in check which I appreciate. My case has been closed and I got everything I wanted but more importantly what is best for my family. The entire office was happy to answer all of my questions by phone or email. I hope I never have to again but I would 1000% hire John Case or recommend him to anyone who were in need of his help. My family is whole, my world is complete all thanks to Mr. Case.

Highly recommend

I was recommended by a family member to reach out to John as they also had a very good experience with his representation. John represented me in a child support/custody case that recently came to a conclusion. Never having been through anything remotely close to this experience, I came into it needi...ng guidance. He was able to help me navigate a system that held a lot of unfamiliarity. The outcome of this case was everything I could have hoped for. John was a great support though this difficult and uncertain time. John is professional, intelligent, and gets things done. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.

Highly Recommend!

John is a very honest attorney. Over the past several years, John has helped me with 2 separate cases- a very stressful child visitation battle (my children’s father ended up losing parenting time), as well as a recent divorce. He is very knowledgeable, prompt in answering emails, as well as being av...ailable when a phone conference or face to face meeting is requested. John is also very conscientious about not over-charging his clients, and is very efficient with time management. John’s assistant- Dawn was also extremely helpful! I would recommend John to anyone who is in need of an attorney!

Great Attorney!

I have hired John as my attorney twice. The first time around I had no custody and standard parenting time, a few months later we finished the case with 50/50. Six months after that, John recommended we go back for sole custody, and that is exactly what we got. He knew exactly what he was doing every... step of the way, and it really showed in the court room. He was conscious of my finances and I feel that he did a great job at keeping the costs reasonable. He's a great guy and an excellent attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Family lawyer | Jan 07

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I recently had a family law matter with Mr. Case. I found that he strikes that elusive balance between strong advocacy and reasonableness (not just the appearance of, but true fairness). Our matter was complicated and could have easily cost each of our clients a small fortune. Instead, I think we're ending with an outcome that was best for both parties and their child. Mr. Case is a very good attorney and I look forward to working with him again."
