Kenneth C Goodin

When I first retained Ken, he reviewed my case and told me it would be very easy. He assured me that helping me obtain more parenting time with my children would be a priority. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. After months with no progress, I repeatedly asked for updates, but my calls and ...emails were rarely returned. When I asked when he would file for increased parenting time, he told me that it was not important and that I should focus only on the divorce, even stating that the children were not important. After paying over $20,000 and seeing little to no action taken on my case, he informed me that he would no longer represent me and that I needed to find another attorney because opposing counsel was “too difficult” to work with. He gave me just three weeks to secure new representation before he would withdraw. Based on my experience, he showed very little interest in advocating for me or my children. I felt like a source of billing rather than a client. This was an extremely disappointing and stressful experience, and I would not recommend him.

I never write reviews online but had to make an exception in this case as Ken's assistance in handling my divorce was phenomenal. If you're reading this review maybe you're in the same boat as I was- completely foreign to the dissolution process, unsure of Oregon case law pertaining to divorce, and w...anting nothing more than sweet, sweet freedom from the shackles of a miserable spouse who is doing their best to suck every last drop of happiness and every last cent of net worth out of you. If getting married was one of the worst decisions I've made in the last decade (it was) then becoming a client of Ken's was one of the best. I'm the type of person that likes to game every conceivable scenario and Ken's insight into the legal system and what was possible and effective in terms of angles to approach and negotiation strategies was indispensable. I wanted nothing more than to finish the divorce proceedings quickly and with as little expense as possible and Ken made that a reality. Ken was extremely polite, responsive, well-spoken, and meticulous through every step of the process. Let's face it- good legal counsel is expensive and here just like anywhere you are going to get what you pay for. Despite his patient and meticulous nature I believe that the time he spent on my case was calculated very reasonably given the amount of information I had provided to him regarding my circumstances. I would not hesitate to contact Ken if his services are needed again in the future. Thanks Ken!

Attorney Kenneth Goodin proved to be an excellent lawyer in handling my marriage dissolution/divorce action. He was very knowledgeable about this process and his extensive experience provided helpful guidance and advice. Moreover, he was very patient and took the time to fully explain the legal imp...lications of the decisions that I was required to make and to develop a fair and equitable plan. He was very quick to respond to my questions and keep me up-to-date with the progress being made. If there was anything positive about this painful life experience, it was having Ken help me through it. I greatly appreciated his calm, wise counsel and his thorough preparation for the final steps in bringing this case to a satisfactory closure.

Ken was an absolute blessing to my family and myself! I'll always be grateful to Ken for keeping me level headed through my child custody case, time after time I would walk away from Kens office with a better feeling than when I entered. I know that it's not easy for a Father to gain custody of ...his children, but with Ken's help, preperation, and sticking within the law.......we prevailed! Ken was the second attorney that I had contacted in Bend, (the first gave me no chance at all at getting my children back home), Ken listened to the circumstances of the children being held out of State, and went to battle for a Father who was torn at every seam! Ken was always prepared, had me arm him with the facts of my case, and set about the case beautifully! Not knowing anything about the legal world, I was amazed at every level at the work done by Ken and his wonderful team! especially once the trial started, and all the hard work had come to the surface. The legal process is not easy! it was very tiresome, long, and stressful, but in the end.........right is right! and I'm very grateful to have had someone like Ken, to present the facts in a manner in which the Judge could very clearly make his judgement,..... through the facts in front of him!

I hired Ken Goodin in Sept, 2011, to help me with a child custody/Divorce case. Ken was amazing to me, showing tremendous patience! as I was in a whirlwind due to my sudden circumstance. Ken was calming, directed me on what I had to do, where I had to be, and gave me all around great advice. Ken us...ed the facts for my case, presented a fantastic argument, and won the custody portion of the case for this Father! It was very interesting watching the legal process go on, and Ken explained things to me so that I was not in the dark! I have great admiration for the legal process, and will always be grateful to Ken and his staff for the work that they performed for me and my family.
