Adam Brittle

Owner / Founder

About Adam

A dam grew up in Portland, Oregon. After high school, he first moved to Corvallis in 1993 and was an electrical engineering student at Oregon State University. After three years, he transferred to the University of Colorado at Boulder to complete his engineering degree.

After Adam's undergraduate work was complete, he worked as an electrical engineer for six years, primarily with Intel Corporation in Hillsboro, Oregon. In 2002, he started law school as an evening student at Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College while continuing to work full time at Intel. During that time, he attended law school classes after work in the evenings.

In 2004, Adam left Intel and made the switch from engineering to law official. He accepted a clerking job at the well-respected Portland firm of Swanson, Thomas, and Coon (now Thomas, Coon, Newton & Frost). There Adam worked with many exceptional attorneys, primarily in the areas of workers’ compensation and personal injury law. Along with an interest in social justice through personal injury law, he also developed a passion for criminal law and criminal defense.

In 2006, before graduating law school, Adam accepted a position as a certified law student at the public defender’s office of Multnomah Defenders in Portland. He was certified to appear in court on behalf of clients for misdemeanor trials, arraignments, motion hearings, and DUII diversions. After graduating from law school in 2006, he joined his father and wife to create West Valley Law Group PC in Corvallis, Oregon. There, his practice focused exclusively on criminal defense and civil litigation, including personal injury.

After two years of successful practice in Corvallis, Adam and his wife relocated to Portland to continue the practice of law after Tim Brittle retired. For the next nine years as managing partner, Adam grew Brittle & Brittle P.C. to become one of Portland's most recognizable family law firms. The firm had as many as five attorneys working, focusing only on family law. There, Adam developed a niche area of expertise in both stalking and restraining order cases, successfully arguing and winning a matter before the Oregon Supreme Court in 2014.

Now well into his career, Adam is returning to the practice area that he started in, personal injury. Adam enjoys the work of assisting injured people because accidents cross all demographics and social strata. People who are victims of injury very often are blameless in the accident and were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Assisting these people with getting back on their feet financially after an injury is a help he enjoys providing.

Out of the office, Adam is very involved with his two elementary-school-aged daughters. His hobbies include biking, running, computers, and recently, triathlons. People who know Adam will also describe him as passionate about politics and social justice.

How can we help? Getting you your best possible outcome is our top priority.

The emotional toll of stress related to any family law issue, including divorce, can be exhausting without litigation. Let us take care of the law. You take care of you.
With Pacific Family Law Firm, you can expect a lot.

1. Talk to Attorneys

In most firms it is the staff that handles the bulk of your case. You end up dealing with paralegals, assistants, or clerks instead of the attorney you signed up with. At Pacific Family Law Firm, assistants may handle paperwork and occasional informational calls, but most of the time you will be working with your actual trial attorney.

2. Streamlined Representation

Our office and divorce attorneys have built the firm from the ground up with efficiency in mind. Paperless, custom-built data centers for instant access to all file information, and flexible communication by phone, email, and even secure instant messaging. We want you to be able to participate as part of the team in your case.

3. Honest Assessment of Case

Far too many divorce and family law "mills" are simply out to settle your case as fast as possible so they can move on the next one. Pacific Family Law Firm was founded by lawyers who are used to the courtroom and don't run from it. If getting you the right result means taking the matter to a trial, we will do it. If you are ready for a trial, we won't back down either.
