Worth the money

I have retained Devin twice now in an on going custody battle. Each time we have won. Both court appearances involved the enforcement of parenting time filed from my child’s father. The second appearance was much more complex. I had chosen to leave the state with my child although there was an existi...ng parenting plan and court order in place. Although I had very good reasons to relocate, I had a good chance of being in a lot of trouble with the courts if I didn’t have Devin on my side to articulate to the courts that it was in my child’s best interest. Trying to relocate to a different state with a child is one of the hardest and almost impossible things to accomplish. And Devin came into the court room well prepared and exceeded all of my expectations. Ultimately the judge did not order me or my child back to Oregon, I was not ordered to make up any parenting time (it had been over a year since my daughter saw her father), and he was given very limited time with our daughter. We were given everything we asked the judge for. I could never thank Devin enough for his expertise and fighting for my daughters safety and well being. When it came to closing arguments in court, I could tell Devin took my case personal. It felt like he really cared, and it wasn’t just “another case” If you are looking for an amazing attorney that is knowledgeable and that will fight for you, it is Devin!

Fast, Affordable & Simple Amicable Divorce

I met with Mr. Driver initially for a divorce consult. He was efficient and knowledgeable about the process of divorce and was able to provide direct and clear answers to my questions. I arrived feeling deeply concerned about how to get my divorce done, having struggled with the paperwork myself. Mr.... Driver was able to provide calm and clear guidance, demystify the process and simplify the paperwork for me. He was able to communicate with me by email, which allowed me to keep working my full-time job while negotiating divorce paperwork details during breaks. This took a huge load off my shoulders knowing I had someone handling the legal aspect of things and looking out for me. Ultimately the divorce was completed within 2 months, and I am grateful that it was kept simple and amicable. What a relief! I'm thankful that I found him when I did, and I highly recommend Devin Driver as a divorce attorney.

Intellectual powerhouse

During one of the most stressful events in our life, (custody case involving our parenting time) Devin fought for our family with professional, smart witted ammunition winning our case! Devin is certainly an articulate person, but he fights no holds barred, for his clients.

Devin Driver - Highly Recommend

What do you do when you need legal services quickly? Perhaps, reach out to a friend and get a referral. That’s just what we did. We called the respected law firm of Davis, Freudenberg, Day & Driver and are sure glad we did. Being caught off guard and in urgent need of legal assistance, Devin Driver o...ffered to help us. After several months into the process we realized he was a perfect choice and we made a great team! If we were to summarize what sets Devin apart from others would be his compassion AND competency. He has both which is sometimes hard to find. His calm demeanor was just what we needed for my elderly Mom during a very difficult time. Although, don’t be mistaken, Devin fully understands the law and did an expert job applying it to reach our desired goal and outcome. He listened intently, stayed calm when we were not, outlined a clear plan and process, and educated us about next steps and timeline. We were proud and confident to walk into court with him by our side. His professionalism and preparation represented us very well. Also, very important to us was his accessibility, responsiveness and generally being available every time we had a question or concern. Looking back at our time together, we were also very impressed by his strategic nature and negotiation skills. He is results driven but understands how to get favorable outcomes in a positive way. There were several occasions when Devin went above and beyond the call of duty to help, even working with the opposing attorney to reach agreement. His pricing was fair and always transparent. We highly recommend Devin Driver if you are looking for a compassionate AND competent attorney.

Friendly, honest and efficient

I hired Devin to help out with my divorce and some custody issues. He was honest and upfront with potential challenges, but over delivered and was able to successfully resolve the matter. While a very personal matter, Devin made the process a lot better through his friendly, honest and efficient work....
