Attorneys in Lake Oswego, OR

April - Nathan Garcia is your guy - but you HAVE to be willing to pay something for it. He takes payments and is very competent.

I really doubt that story about John being hungover or a drunk. I have interacted with him professionally hundreds of times and have not seen anything like that. Launching a personal attack like that is not cool. I am not sure that John even does custody cases, or at least he didn't used to. Attorneys around here that do family law are in no particular order: Carly Kruse, Nathan Garcia, Jim Gardner, Paul Pierson, Jeremiah "Buzz" Scannell, Kim Olin, Bruce Nishioka, Chris Keusink, and maybe Pat Foley. None of these individuals will be a "Pro Bono Custody Lawyer." There are some organizations that receive funding to help low income individuals. Maybe try Oregon Law Center (Coos Bay): (541) 269-1226. The Oregon Bar's Modest Means Program is another to try:(503) 684-3763, but there may be no Curry lawyers on the list and these attorneys require money up front. http://www.osbar.org/_docs/public/diy/modestmeansapp.pdf

John Spicer -5412477003

Eric Bryant is a good guy.

Check this page out, just click on your county. There's a legal aid office in coos bay and there's a state program for low income families that's helps pay partial fees. http://www.oregonchildsupport.gov/resources/pages/legal.aspx

It would also be helpful if you could find a therapist, if you are able to, that specifically deals with PTSD. I recently did that (for a different issue) and my outlook on life and day to day coping skills are so much better than they were before. Good luck to you, and continue asking for help when you need it.

I had an absolutely fantastic family lawyer 12 years ago named Nell Oram. I didn't get a divorce, so I can't speak to that, but she handled my custody suit with my son's abusive father. Family law covers divorce as well. She was a godsend. I was a wreak, as I imagine you are feeling right now. She was so supportive & helpful to me & my son. I just checked & she's still at the same law firm - http://www.tigardfamilylaw.com/ Hang in there! You can do this!! I made it out & so can you.

Hello! Do you want to get a lawyer, but do not know which law firm is better to choose to solve your legal problem? I know a good one who has excellent experience in solving problems of the law with family issues, divorces, personal injuries. I think Jae Lee Law [https://www.jaeleelaw.com](https://www.jaeleelaw.com) offers pretty good lawyer services, and even at low prices, so I decided to share information about this company.

I'm a local lawyer, though I don't practice in this area. Consider contacting the [Victim Rights Law Center](https://www.victimrights.org/), based here in Portland, which specifically works to assist folks in situations like yours, and provides training to lawyers on how to represent survivors of domestic violence. They have hotline to speak with an attorney. In many jurisdictions (I'm not actually sure about OR), when a spouse is in prison for crimes with a domestic element (or in some states, any felony), divorce is pretty close to automatic, you just have to draft it in a specific way showing that's the reason (vs. more common, "no fault" divorces). FWIW, I don't recommend /legaladvice, although many other lawyers disagree with me. We have strong ethical guidance from the first day of school explaining why you shouldn't give advice casually, without full facts, and without a representation agreement- the folks in that sub tend to a) have taken that to heart, and give long-winded answers that translate to "you should talk to a local attorney," or b) ignore it, which makes me question their judgment. Also, I'm kind of giving away a secret here, but the Bar Association referral lists are just lists of lawyers who have signed up and specified what regions and practice areas they are interested in. There's nothing inherently wrong with that (I'm on a few), but you should still interview the lawyer they suggest to make sure it's a good fit.

St. Andrew Legal Clinic, especially if you're not in a position to be able to afford a huge retainer.

The Oregon State Bar has a lawyer referral service available at [https://www.osbar.org/public/ris/](https://www.osbar.org/public/ris/), which can also be accessed by calling 503-684-3763 or toll-free in Oregon at 800-452-7636, 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday.

You can call the Oregon State Bar - it has a lawyer referral service where you can say you are looking for a family law atty w experience in DV, or you can also use the modest means program thru the state bar for the same request.

Jacqueline Swanson at Swanson and Graves is great.

I am a big fan of Jennie Clark. Her practice has grown over the years, and she's not a divorce attorney, but if you need a restraining order, etc., ASAP, I couldn't recommend her more. :) [https://www.jennieclark.com/](https://www.jennieclark.com/)

I used Mark Barzda from Gevurtz Menache in downtown Portland conveniently near the Max line). I point everyone I can to him. He immediately recognized my ex for what he was and never doubted me.

You could also try posting this to /r/legaladvice - you won't get solicitations from individual lawyers (against that sub's policy), but you'll likely get references to organizations that can help you in your specific situation and can help you find the right kind of attorney. Good luck to you - I won't pretend to understand what you must be going through, but I sincerely hope you have much better times ahead.

St. Andrews Legal Clinic

Absolutely talk to St. Andrews Legal Clinic. They helped me in my original custody dispute and were great.

The Oregon State Bar has a Modest Means Program that has attorneys who offer reduced rates. The application is here: [https://www.osbar.org/\_docs/public/diy/modestmeansapp.pdf](https://www.osbar.org/_docs/public/diy/modestmeansapp.pdf) However, I've been working in support positions in family law for 20 years and I can tell you that any case where there is a custody dispute is by definition NOT going to be an "easy case." I'm not saying that to discourage you, but only to temper your expectations that you'll be able to just show someone your "evidence" and this will all go away quickly. Good luck to you.

This local non-profit provides sliding scale family law services: https://thecommonslawcenter.org/

Lewis & Clark law school has free or low cost legal aid.

I don’t but I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Thank you for your service.

Lawyer and Good in the same sentence? That may be like using Obama and Patriot in the same sentence...Good luck with that dear sir!

I had Robert Boyer in GP, he did a good job, I did have to pay my shrink to write his comments for the court, that was $90 and well worth it

Heather Holt...She gets a percentage when you win out of the back pay they give you frrom when you file till you start getting it regularly.
