Best decision I ever made!

I cannot speak highly enough or recommend strongly enough Jeffery Trailer as an attorney. I hired Jeff to address a very difficult and complexed custody situation. This process took nearly a year before it got in front of a judge, in a two-day trial. I would not wish this process on anyone, let alone... doing it on your own. Jeff was an absolute professional from day one! He is empathetic and very understanding to the emotional stress people are burdened with during this time. He is very reassuring, transparent and helps educate you along as your legal progress unravels. Jeff was always upfront regarding possible out-comes in court and how your situation would relate to the legal proceedings. He does not waste your time or his time while representing you and your legal needs. His staff was very prompt to communicate and informative regarding deadlines and information required throughout my legal situation. (pre, during, and post-trial) Jeff’s ability in the court room during the actual trial, is truly amazing to witness. His ability to navigate procedural law with opposing counsel, witnesses, and the Judge was beyond astonishing! When you hire Jeff to represent you, sit back and let him do his job. You will not be disappointed. My specific case involved a custody review regarding the other parent wanting to leave the area. This was not something to be taken lightly and required a very astute understanding of the law and procedure required to render a decision that would benefit the child and his relationship to both parents. Jeff carried himself with dignity throughout the entire process, especially in his performance during trial. Jeff has a personality indicative to the perfection of his craft as a practicing family law attorney. He makes no promises other than to do his very best on your behalf and its relation to the law. This was made clear from my first consult. Hiring Jeff to represent me was the best decision I could have done. He is driven, personable, and result oriented and carries himself with a high level of professionalism.

Highly Recommend for Child Custody / Parenting Time Issues

Mr. Traylor was very professional in his handling of my parenting time case. He was compassionate in what my children were going through. He listened objectively, provided top notch advice to settle this case within 6 months after dealing with it with 2 different attorney's for 2 years. I would hig...hly recommend him. He advocates for what what is best for the children involved. Thank you Jeff.

Lifesaver!

I hired Mr. Traylor last year, around March 2018. I came in full prepared for my custody case (parenting time was the biggest issue), he was professional and empathetic to my situation. I, as a client, was over-bearing, control oriented, and probably not the easiest to convince everything would be fi...ne. Even though court was pushed out for about a year and he had a few cards against him with the judge running the other side, he made sure everything that needed to be said was clear with conviction. He was an outstanding person to have in my corner and to help settle my family’s concerns (they are a tough bunch). I could not be happier with our outcome! As a mother, I would like to say thank you, you are a large part that we now sit in our wonderful new life, in South Carolina. The stress of unknowns is finally behind us. I really couldn’t put a price on what I would have paid for this feeling of relief and happiness that my child is safe and has wonderful opportunities ahead of her. I would recommend Mr. Taylor and will be using his services again if needed.

Helpful, understanding and realistic

I engaged Mr. Traylor to resolve a matter with a long term partner. I was very pleased with Mr. Traylor's expertise and I appreciated him being realistic with me about my options. Many times in the legal arena, you can choose to pay more money to fight something but you are not guaranteed a positive ...outcome. He was upfront about everything and at no time did I feel like he was just out to take my money. I felt he truly cared about me and wanted the best outcome for my situation. And ultimately, we achieved the best outcome for me and I am now able to move forward with my life. Thankfully, everything was settled out of court which I also attribute to Mr. Traylor's expertise and knowledge of the law. I would definitely recommend him to others!

Posted by Divorced Woman | February 21, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

Fastest Divorce Settlement

I was referred to Mr. Traylor nearly 2 years ago to complete my divorce. We met mid-week to discuss the details of my separation. He listened intently, answered my questions, and reassured me that an understandably stressful situation (to say the least) could be handled quickly and with consideration... for all parties involved. The next week we met again to review and sign the divorce paperwork. He then personally took my paperwork to the courthouse and within 7 days my divorce papers were signed by the judge and everything was finalized. This has to have been the fastest divorce known to man and I attribute my success entirely to the work of Mr. Traylor. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate his hard work in making this process go smoothly for me. He was not only professional, but really cares for his clients and wants to see them succeed. I highly recommend Mr. Traylor to anyone in need of a great lawyer!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
