About Richard

Learn Richard’s areas of practice.

I have been practicing Family Law in Oregon for 30 years. My goal is to help clients fine a life after divorce and to protect the children during this very difficult time. I like to combine strength with compassion in every case. While I am a very effective litigator, my real goal is to fine a solution prior to going to trial.

Top notch representation.
I went through an extremely challenging divorce I initiated and Richard Funk represented me beyond all expectations. Results were achieved. He managed and handled my divorce from an ex-husband who even asked me to get the "pit bull" off of him. During meetings he was at my side constantly providing wise advise and the reassurance I needed in a professional and calm manner. In my situation, I needed the best and he truly is that. I highly recommend him.

Excellent job
Richard Funk did an excellent job and on the critical day of mediation he was attentive, articulate and got the job done. He was very professional and his experience was invaluable

Excellent lawyer and counsel
Mr. Funk had already looked up my divorce and did his research before I even set foot in office. He went to work when I scheduled my initial visit over the phone. It's never a good feeling to be sued by your ex for more money months after the divorce was finalized. Mr. Funk was able to reassure me how frivolous it was and that I had nothing to worry about. He got the matter resolved before we even went to court saving me thousands.

Amazing attorney
There is no doubt Richard is a talented attorney. He always responds to my questions quickly. He looks out for me and my kids bests interests. Even my kids like him! Richard is a strong negotiator and will do what he can to settle cases, but if you have to go to trial, you want him on your side. I strongly recommend Richard if you want a fantastic attorney. I am so happy he is on my side.

Richard Funk
Richard is a solid, talented, hard working lawyer who is very thorough and competent. He has been my lawyer for over 15 years. He is very personable, understanding, patient and compassionate person. Phone calls to Richard have always been returned promptly. He always keeps me fully informed. Answers to my questions or concerns are always articulated with clarity and completeness. Richard is a person with high moral character, integrity and confidentiality. He always gets the job done, and done in a courteous, professional manner.

His dedication to his profession, and to the greater good of the community are also very impressive. I trust Richard completely and am proud to associate with him!

Great Lawyer
Mr. Funk provides a common sense approach to family law. In addition to being well versed in the law, he also understands the intricacies of dealing with closely-held businesses, highly compensated individuals, and more complex financial issues.

Arrogant with little social skill shown in consultation
I only had a 1 hour consultation but at the end of that it was clear that Richard Funk was not the lawyer for me. He either was having a bad day or just seemed to lack people, listening, analytical and judgment skills. I assume he must have some of these to have been employed as a lawyer for so long but they were not evident during my consultation.

Response from Richard Funk September 20, 2016
I am truly sorry you feel that way. Not every lawyer is a good fit for every client. I represent client's I feel I can help to achieve their goals. I do not take clients just because they have the funds to pay me. Just because I did not agree with you and what you wanted to achieve, this does not mean that automatically my judgment and analytical recommendations were legally flawed. There are certain people I do not believe are a good fit and to avoid problems in the future, I decide to not represent them. If you are the person I think you are, I chose to not represent you for the good of both of us. My 30 years of experience tells me we would have ended up in the future just as we did at the end of your consultation.
