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!

Don't waste your money.

Devin Driver is a terrible attorney. He over charges, and does the bare minimum in terms of work. I was charged nearly $4,000 for a custody case that I was told would cost me around $2,000.

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.

Best Attorney I’ve ever had!!

I have used Devin for a very complicated family law case, & plan to use him again for any future needs. He not only listened to the details I felt were relevant but also asked about things that, in my naivety, wouldn’t know were important. He looked at my case from a very knowledgeable & experienced ...angle. He made sure that he had thought of & prepared for any angle the other party might present. He wants to make sure he has all bases covered & fights for his clients. I don’t feel like just another case file to him. He is calm & respectful, and doesn’t miss a thing when dealing with the other party. I only wish I would’ve found him sooner! If you are looking for an attorney who will LISTEN TO YOU, FIGHT FOR YOU & COMMUNICATE CLEARLY WITH YOU, MR. DRIVER IS YOUR GUY!!!

Thanks Devin

Devin took the time to listen and really cared about our case. He argued it well. He guided us to understand the areas we could win with and what we needed to put aside so we could focus on what was important to create a good case using the law. He was careful with our case and did not rack up any un...necessary hours. Having used many attorneys in the past, Devin definitely scored too marks.
