We Specialize In
Divorce & Separation
You are facing the end of your marriage and have many questions. Initially your divorce may appear to be amicable and simple, yet somehow it becomes complex and contentious. With the help of our divorce attorneys Chamber Dorheim or Lillian S. Watson you can make complex decisions regarding your finances, support or custody issues.
Child Custody
Child custody issues have a lasting impact on the entire family involved. Child custody determinations are inherently emotive and difficult for parents and their children. We advocate for our clients in these situations when they cannot easily speak for themselves. Our attorneys Chamber Dorheim or Lillian S. Watson can help navigate this sensitive and impactful area.
Mediation – Divorce
Mediation allows divorcing couples to work through disputes with a neutral third party and try settling them together instead of leaving them up to a judge. If your divorce seems amicable, or if complex/sensitive issues like child custody are involved, it might be worth trying mediation. Schedule a consultation with Lillian S. Watson, who is a trained Gresham divorce and mediation attorney.
Wills, Trusts & Probate
Each of us needs to plan ahead to protect our loved ones after we die. By leaving a Will, you leave formal instructions that direct your family or friends on how you wish to divide your property. Whether you need help with setting up your will, or help with executing it in Probate, our attorney Nathan Begley can provide you with the assistance you need.
Bankruptcy Protection
Are creditors bothering you with their phone calls and letters? Your home, property, and income could be at risk. Just one incident or a financial mishap can leave you unable to pay your debts. Fortunately, you are not alone and there are legal options available. Our attorney Nathan Begley works with both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 personal bankruptcy cases.
