Need For an Attorney

Depending on the presence of children, length of the marriage, and the amount and nature of marital assets, divorce can be a complex process. It is an emotional time for those involved and usually requires guidance from a knowledgeable, experienced attorney. During this stressful and emotional time one spouse or the other sometimes will express a willingness to surrender anything just to get their case over and resolved. When a person tries to handle his or her own divorce without legal counsel, mistakes can be made which later cannot be corrected. Even if it appears that your divorce will be "uncontested", one of the best things you can do to protect your rights and assets during your divorce is to consult with an experienced divorce attorney. Often we provide advice to individuals who are handling their own divorce.

I have handled divorce and family law matters in Oregon for more than 30 years.

If you are contemplating divorce or separation, or if you need advice on child custody, child support or on one of the areas listed above, please call my office. We are here to help.
