The Absolute Very BEST

I have been struggling a few days to find the words that fully express the gratitude I feel for my absolutely incredible attorney Ken. When I went to see him just days after coming to the very painful decision to get a divorce, he never put a foot wrong. I was so emotional and fearful of my future,... but from the very start, Ken was SO smart, SO professional and so kind. I was able to go forward through this extremely emotional process, knowing I truly had someone smart as hell who had my back, and was not going to let me falter in any way. That's a big deal when you're in a state of paranoia and not sure who you can trust and where to turn. Ken guided me flawlessly through the process, helped me come to an agreement with my ex-husband which was highly acceptable to both, was ALWAYS available for my calls or emails, and honestly is just the best attorney I've ever dealt with. It's been a hard few months, but was the best and luckiest day for me was when a friend recommended Ken. I'm paying it forward now with this review. You will find no better attorney anywhere and in any state. My situation was complicated, but you wouldn't have known that with the positive forward motion and expediency that took us down the very kindest and easiest path to the end. I am, and will always be, eternally grateful.

Highly Recommended

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!

Very personable and understanding of my issue.

Ken was very knowledgeable about my situation and gave me great advise. If I need his services to help me with the dissolution proceedings I will definitely hire him.

Kenneth C. Goodin

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.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I highly endorse this attorney. Ken is the kind of guy who you are always happy to run into outside of the courtroom because he is friendly and approachable. But, as an adversary, he is a real tough cookie. In any case, Ken is most likely the attorney who worked the hardest and the results he gets for his clients tend to show it. Ken is also a leader among lawyers, donating his time to various areas of professional improvement. From time to time, I have called on Ken for advice on how to handle difficult family law matters and he has always been willing to lend me a helping hand. I highly recommend Ken for any family law matter and I think he is especially talented at handling difficult and complicated cases."
