About Joel
Biography
I was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon. As a native Oregonian I have many ties to the local community. After graduating from Sheldon High, I went on to receive my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon. Upon graduation, I moved to San Diego, California to work at a school for children with learning disabilities and behavioral disorders.
Determined to return to the Pacific Northwest, I received my Juris Doctorate degree from Willamette University College of Law. Upon graduation, I clerked for the Hon. Charles D. Carlson at the Lane County Circuit Court. I began my law practice with local attorney Lee Kersten focusing almost exclusively on estate planning and administration, business transactions and real estate matters.
In 2018, attorney Kirk Strohman and I combined our practices to form Strohman Ford, LLC. By limiting our practice areas to estate planning and administration, business transactions and real estate matters, we are able to provide our clients with focused, knowledgeable and cost-effective advice.
I am licensed to practice law in the State of Oregon and a member of the Lane County Bar Association, Oregon State Bar, and the American Bar Association.

Estate Planning with Joel
I highly recommend Joel Ford and the Strohman Ford company. I just completed our estate planning with Joel. He was so helpful, easy to talk with, answered all my questions, and made excellent recommendations. His staff was great, and their customer service is excellent. His fees are reasonable.

So lucky to work with Joel for our estate planning.
We are so pleased with the work of Joel Ford, to update our old trust from another state, and to write pour-over wills and advance directives for health care for us. We feel completely confident in his expertise, and he is very clear in his communication style, which is just as important. He encour...

Janet very helpful and kind
I contacted several firms online, but this was the only one that responded. Janet was helpful in explaining to us why we could likely not probate the estate in Oregon and why this was not something their firm could do. She also directed us to someone who might better assist us. I very much appreciat...

Made the loss a little less painful
I didn't feel alone anymore. Losing my dad was horrible, but I worked with Janet who was a God send. Even assisting me in selecting a lawyer who is also licensed in California to help with a bank account there. Always honest, reliable, and understanding.

Estate settled
I have worked with Joel Ford and his excellent assistant, Janet Johnson, several times over the past 5 years. They have always offered professional, timely advice at a reasonable rate.
Joel K Ford's Lawyer Endorsements
"I sat next to Joel during the 2009 Oregon bar exam. I got a good sense from him then, and we both passed. Since that time, I have watched Joel progress as a judicial clerk, and currently as a successful business transactions attorney. I would highly recommend Joel to anyone seeking a top quality business lawyer."
