The right choice in Salem.

Mr. Armstrong is an exceptional family law attorney. His assistance throughout our emotional family ordeal made the experience much more tolerable, as well as understandable. He and his staff were consistently professional and efficient throughout this case. I would recommend Mr. Armstrong to anyo...ne looking for an assertive, knowledgeable & level-headed domestic relations attorney in the Willamette Valley area.

Experienced Help, to guide me through the worst time of my life

I found Mr. Armstrong through a web search. He was the only lawyer in the Salem area who did Divorce and Elder Abuse cases. I had been to two lawyers previously; one for general advice and the other (a referral by the first) to represent me. The relationship did not work out well with the second l...awyer. A small office with one secretary/assistant was not able to keep me informed of case progress. The lawyer was inexperienced, often unavailable and had a very limited vocabulary of help to offer; he knew how to fill in the blanks on some one else's form. Mr. Armstrong has a staff at GHR, that not only kept me informed, but promptly gave me copies of all documents presented to the court or the opposing firm. That support team also meant that costs were reduced by using staff that specialized in specific "layers" of work (i.e. court filings, research, documentation). Mr. Armstrong established a relationship of trust from our first meeting. His experience in other areas of law (former Police Officer, part-time Judge) give him a perspective of How Law Works. He was also sensitive to my needs due to disability, my personal and religious beliefs and saw to it that I was HEARD by the opposing lawyer AND the Judge. I believe that I was represented as well as could be done by anyone. And, I cannot overemphasize the importance of the GHR team in all of this. Telling me what to expect from the Court and keeping me informed gave me a measure of peace with what was happening. And now, after a few months, I realize even more so, how important that is. In his final Official letter to me, Mr. Armstrong provided a very helpful list of things that must be done, following the judgment; things I never would have thought of and that have saved me much time and money. I have a little more legal work to be done and will be asking Mr. Armstrong to do the work. There is a sense of Integrity with everyone I spoke to at GHR; again, a Team.

Best Attorney Award goes to....Sean Armstrong!

After being married for 15 years with 5 beautiful children, my husband decided that a life with us was not what he thought it would be. After meeting Sean for the first time, I knew he was the attorney to represent me through my divorce. I admired Sean's dedication and patience especially during tim...es when I was getting discouraged. Not only did he make me feel informed and updated on each and every step of the process, he also took the time to check in on how I was doing. I was always greeted with respect when I called, visited, or emailed Sean and his staff. If there was a situation that I needed immediate attention or feedback to, there was never a delay-day or night, I always felt Sean was just a quick email or call away. My divorce was a long and enduring journey of contrast between heartbreak and elation, anguish and hopefulness, tribulation and peace. Without Sean, I'm not sure how I would have made it through. Not only did I find the best attorney possible, I also found a friend. I'll forever be grateful. Thank you, Sean.

"Sean works hard for his client while always being reasonable, something that is too often lacking in the approach of other attorneys. He is knowledgeable, absolutely competent in lawyerly skills but his most effective trait in negotiations is his always pleasant personality. He uses this attribute to the client's advantage in every case. He is an excellent attorney."
