Best Choice in Bend
Mr. Traylor was diligent, timely and very professional. He was recommended to me by a friend when my ex-husband's mother sought visitation with my son whom she hadn't seen or spoken with in over 2 1/2 years. Mr. Traylor was very efficient and effective and had this case dismissed in about a month. ...

Excellent negotiator
Jeff helped me secure joint custody two years ago after I'd spent several thousand dollars with another attorney without success.

Jeffrey K. Traylor won my case
Jeffrey helped me in every aspect of my case. From keeping the children in their current town, to gaining more visitation time with the children. I would use Jeffrey again. He is honest, trustworthy, cost effective, and he won my case.

"I am both a peer as well as a client of Jeff's. He built a reputation for professionalism in the Portland Metro area after starting his own practice in the Sellwood/Westmoreland area and I have never heard anything but praise for his work ethic within the legal community. Thus, in 2011 when I was struck by a vehicle while riding my bicycle I immediately retained Jeff to handle my personal injury claim and to deal with the insurance company involved. Jeff dealt with the matter in a timely manner and left me very impressed with the way he handles business (he constantly kept me updated on my case and provided me with realistic expectations regarding his time-frame). I endorse Jeffrey Traylor."
