Posted by anonymous | March 02, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Professional Family Law Attorney

Jon is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and professional. If you need a divorce or family law attorney in Central Oregon, I highly recommend working with Jon. I was always informed throughout the entire process and properly advised with Jon's knowledge of the law. His experience in Central Oregon w...ith the judges and other firms was impressive. Jon took care of business and always had my best interest in mind.

Posted by George | March 01, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Highly recommended!

I hired Mr Duerst via a referral when my wife filled for divorce. John has been a comfort and a friend throughout a drawn out process. He is a great communicator and was extremely patient with my difficult and non-communicative spouse. The result was ultimately fair for both parties which was my goal.... I highly recommend John Duerst.

Posted by Elliott | March 01, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Competent and Comfortable

I contacted Jon based upon the recommendations of a friend to handle my uncontested divorce in May 2016. Please understand uncontested does not mean perfect harmony nor agreement in the details. Jon was very easy to work with, listened my concerns and desires, and handled all the legal details within... the filing/court related processes promptly and without error. Jon is not an "in-your-face" attorney in my experience, and that's exactly what I needed in my divorce after 23 years. Highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
