Firm History
Our History. Our Values.
History
Love of The Law
The founding attorneys of Pacific Divorce & Family Law Firm went to law school to learn to help people. With backgrounds in engineering and politics, they are natural problems solvers who admire the law's ability to effectuate real change for actual, human individuals - not just corporations and big business.
Service for Individuals
Out of law school, our founding lawyers were drawn to the service for actual people, tenaciously arguing in court for the rights of individuals. With early practice areas focusing on criminal defense, litigation for individuals and small business owners, divorce and family law, and family law, our attorneys learned quickly the importance of listening to the client and extensive trial preparation. Most lawyers rarely (or sometimes never) step foot in a courtroom. Not so with the attorneys at Pacific Family Law Firm. All of our practice areas have required extensive battle testing in trial. With experience arguing on behalf of clients before countless judges, juries, and even Oregon Appellate and Supreme Court justice panels, we take pride in ability to assist our clients at all levels of the justice system.
Experienced Attorneys, New Firm
The founding attorneys at Pacific Family Law Firm have known and respected each other as colleagues since their earliest days in practice. Having worked jointly or even opposite each other in past cases, they maintained a friendship and respect for each other's demeanor, mutual respect for the law, honesty, and legal skills. In the final months of 2019, they decided over a business lunch that they would enjoy the adventure of joining forces to help injured clients with a joint vision: building success through consistently great service.
Great Service as A Cornerstone
To that end, the attorneys masterminded and founded Pacific Family Law Firm. Some divorce and family law firms are known as "mills," investing their time and resources in advertising firms so that they can bring in a high number of cases to settle as quickly as possible. While this model might lead to more vacation and less client discussions, it does not bring in the best results for the client. While our attorneys certainly value free time, the vision is to grow our firm by only hiring people with similar commitment to clients. We believe that consistently excellent service leads to happy clients, and happy clients lead to business growth. It's not a novel idea, it's just increasingly rare in today's cynical world of social media and aggrandizing self-promotion. There's a reason why "under promise overdeliver" is still a core tenant of business schools around the nation.
You Hired Lawyers, Talk to Lawyers
We believe it's reasonable for clients to expect to talk with the professionals they hired. While Pacific Family Law Firm will certainly use staff, paralegals, and various assistants to streamline the workup of your case, the core work and client discussions will be with the actual trial lawyer assigned to your case. We believe that the best way for us to learn the nuances of your case and personality - and become passionate about it - is to talk to you, the client. You can expect to work directly with us most of the time, not an assistant.
