I'm sorry but all these 5 star computer generated reviews absolutely do not reflect the truth when it comes to being a real life client. You will be chewed up and spit out before you realize that they simply made your life worse off. This firm or flock is the epitome of "Slime"

It is so stressful to need legal help and to know where to start. They get it! I feel so taken care of and at ease with Gearing Rackner and McGrath Group. They are incredibly responsive and professional. I always appreciate their advice and work as their attentiveness is spot on! They got work done so quickly. I am so fortunate and grateful they are my team when I am in need. The outcome of my cases have been what I was striving for. Thanks so much!!

I would definitely recommend this legal firm . Andrew Newsom Is the best ever attorney that i worked with. He has skills on negotiations and always think out of the box and he come with option that would work best to my intrest. And the most part i liked is he is so honest if things doesn't work out he would tell you upfront to prevent you from spend lots of money because he knew I've went through alot and spent lots of money on my trial case . I appreciate the amazing legal work Andy did on my behalf. Thanks again Andy and big thanks to your team as well.

I was referred to Sarah Denner at Gearing, Rackner & McGrath LLP when it became clear that my path to divorce was not going to be straight forward. Sarah is amazing! She handled every turn of my case with expertise and creative solutions to get the best outcome for me and my kids. Her compassion and patience helped me process complicated matters without getting overwhelmed. The rest of the staff at Gearing, Rackner & McGrath were all super supportive and professional as well. I felt taken care of and prioritized. I highly recommend Sarah Denner and her team and feel lucky to have been referred myself

I have nothing but praise for Kehoe Law. Myah was my savior during my divorce almost two years ago. My ex-husband and I went through mediation for our divorce, so Myah did not formally represent me but I consulted her before every mediation session and with out Myah, there's no way I would have been able to navigate all the intricacies of the divorce and settlement proceedings. She was kind, patient, thorough and easy to talk to. She was always there to answer any question and explain things to me in a way that I could understand. I was and still am so thankful that I had her in my corner for support or any doubt I had. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thank you, Myah!

I worked with Myah since December 2018 until my divorce was finalized 7/26/2019. My case was a very high conflict divorce that went to trial (less than 5% in Oregon go to trial). Myah and her entire team were fabulous to work with throughout the entire process. Morgan, Front Desk, was always so kind and knew me by name as I was in contact often. Since the divorce was finalized I have paid for additional consultations in March and June 2020. Again spectacular service from Morgan and Myah. Top Notch service!!!!!

I typically utilize attorneys to do a deep dive into detail to find areas that are detrimental to my situation. This firm did nothing but charge me a lot of money with no attention to detail and no suggestions to better my standing. They placated to my ex and the other attorneys and made no suggestions or changes on my behalf. It was 100% one-sided. I came out of my divorce with nothing and the other party with everything. Nothing positive came from this. I could have done nothing and come out better. It still haunts me today. Their lack of oversight and concern on my behalf during the process was and is staggering. Go elsewhere for solid representation.

I highly recommend Cassandra Snelling as an attorney. Her specialty is family law and she was excellent in her representation of me throughout my divorce process. Not only was she a great attorney, advocating for my needs and educating me on my rights, she was kind and compassionate. One of the things I most appreciated about Cassandra was her excellent communication, her quick response time, and her ability to explain the process and answer questions in a manner that was understandable to me as a lay person, but without condescension. Her professional knowledge and representation were of the highest quality from start to finish.

Been with this law firm for years. I was represented by Joel, he was amazing!!! Professional, and in control. But in 2020 he retired. I went back the firm knowing they had great lawyers. I was given Cassandra, we talked and she seemed ok. I let her represent me, it was a small court proceeding. She was a nightmare. When talking to her on the phone she would not answer my question, so I would have to ask her in another way. This was time consuming and costly. I'm still shocked on how bad she represented my character. I look bad in the courts eye because of how she represented me. She seemed not to care much. At the end she was smiling and felt she did a good job. Still shocked about that. This is just my experience with Cassandra. After working with her. I truly miss Joel, if you have a good attorney KEEP THEM & PRAY THEY DONT RETIRE :-). I know this law firm has great lawyers. I just got the bad apple.

I just mediated a divorce case and referred my client to Jim for legal advice. So I will say publicly what I told her privately. I have no higher regard for any lawyer or mediator in the Portland community than Jim O'Connor. It is not his considerable legal intelligence that distinguishes him, for there are lots of smart lawyers in this community. It is rather that he has the ability to see the big picture -- what a client and his or her family needs as a whole -- way beyond a merely legal perspective. It is also his huge kindness and compassion, coupled with strong judgment and integrity. He possesses superb interpersonal skills that enable him to work with all sorts of personalities to create agreements. He has my complete confidence and earns my highest endorsement.

Having gone through a nasty custody battle, I can say with surety that two things are true: 1) Had I followed Patty's advice, which was given calmly, clear, cogent, and salient, I would have achieved the results I wanted. 2) I have a deep respect for Patty, for the way she works, for the transparency she shows, and for the way she was (and is) always on my side - but not afraid to tell me when I'm wrong. Patty is intelligent, wonderful, honest, and diligent. I not only respect her, but I like her. She has good values, I could trust her, and I could run thoughts and ideas by her and count on her honest opinion. Working with someone like her made the process I went through infinitely easier. She knows what she's doing.

I am an attorney who represents attorneys so I am more familiar than most with assessing the quality of legal services. Peter and his team are first rate. He is a highly skilled attorney who is efficient, effective and outsmarts his opponents. He is empathetic and professional. He saved me many thousands of dollars, not only in the amount I ended up paying my ex-spouse, but also attorney fees. I highly recommend Peter. He is extremely well-respected by his peers due to his intelligence, experience, creativity and integrity. Retain him ASAP before your future ex does.

He attempts to keep your costs down, and will advise you how to do so. This is refreshing when in an emotionally draining process of divorce.

I went to Peter because I really needed advice and a professional to simply manage the stresses of my divorce. I did a consultation with him and everything seemed in order. He seemed like a decent fellow that was knowledgeable and forthright. This image didn't last long... Being involved in a messy divorce full of high stress due to false allegations, Peter simply walked away at the VERY beginning because the heat got too hot for him. He now of course wants his money ($400) for the consultation even though he bailed on me which forced me to have to find another attorney and pay another consultation fee. Oh well, I chalked this up as a small cost in getting the right lawyer. He basically helped me determine that he wasn't who I needed... a proficient lawyer that can handle stresses of a divorce with ease. I ended up finding Shelly Perkins and she has turned my whole case around. She didn't even use the angles that Peter wanted to which would have easily cost me >10k more. Ironic right? I'm tired of thinking about this whole mess and glad it is behind me, but there you have it incase you are wondering if this guy can help you out.

This isn't a review for Lee Tyler himself, as I have never worked with him directly. This is based on the receptionist I spoke to yesterday. One would expect that when you call a professional business, you would be greeted with the name of the business you are calling and the name of who you are speaking with. Neither of these things were given to me, and the woman I spoke to actually seemed like she was annoyed I even called in the first place. She answered the phone with only a "Hello", and I had to ask if I called the office of Lee Tyler Law. Something which I shouldn't have had to do. Getting that type of tone and lack of professionalism from her end really makes you second guess whether this is a business you would want to give your hard earned money to, especially when dealing with the sensitive nature of a custody issue. Granted I cannot say anything negative, or positive of Lee himself as I never met him; his receptionist turned me away from even wanting to meet him based on the lack of professionalism and courtesy a potential client deserves. Maybe she was having a bad day, I don't know.

I've been so grateful to have Dan Margolin and Erin Holbrook Johnson as my legal counsel. They were incredibly helpful with modifications to my divorce judgment a few years after it was finalized, including spousal and child support, gaining access to my past professional work and other items due to changing circumstances. Throughout the entire process they listened to my concerns, answered questions and let me know legally what was and was not relevant to my case. Most important to me and what sets them apart, I felt they cared about my challenging circumstances and advocated for me month after month while also being mindful of costs vs. benefits. They along with their team were professional and compassionate from start to finish, and are the best of the best.

I hired Sean Stephens of Stephens & Margolin at the recommendation of a friend, and in turn would highly recommend Sean to anyone in need of an excellent family law attorney. My divorce involved guardianship issues as well as somewhat complex asset issues involving an operating company, a holding company and several pieces of real estate. Sean is very experienced, was able to understand all the different pieces, and was excellent at communicating all of the pieces to the court in simple understandable language. Sean also has an excellent team in his own office, as well as excellent court respected experts. Sean was reasonable in settlement negotiations however my divorce went to trial. Sean was excellent in trial. Both his prepared written arguments as well as his arguments in court were very clear and concise. Sean is an excellent trial attorney, and was successful in achieving a very favorable result in court. I would highly recommend Sean to anyone in need of an excellent family law attorney.

Jack Dekovich was rigorous and attentive with my child custody/relocation case. There were so many moving factors and he addressed each situation with tact even when the other parties attorney attempted tactic after tactic to prolong and make the case as difficult as possible. He helped me to win 2/3 of the terms I went for and was patient and understanding every step of the way. I'm grateful I choose him as my attorney to represent me through this process. He took what would normally be a long and painful process and helped me navigate it with more ease and understanding, even with finishing up the final terms during the beginning of the Covid-19 lock down.

My initial attorney from another practice made me feel as if she was working for my ex husband and after several off comments, I came to see Jack Dekovich. What a complete 180! Right away Jack demonstrated that he knew family law comprehensively and that he would use that expertise to fight for me, tactfully but aggressively if needed. I am very familiar with my ex husband’s attorney, having worked closely with her for several years on my ex husband’s behalf. She has years of experience and is one of the best, yet Jack was not intimidated and was able to go toe-to-toe in every aspect of our case. He got me the best outcome and I will continue to use his services in the future, with confidence that I have the right attorney by my side!
