Joanna Posey Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Portland

Joanna Posey Bio
I support individuals and families through complex family transitions, with a commitment to achieving the best possible results with minimal emotional and financial strain. My practice includes Collaborative Divorce, mediation, independent adoption, and select contested litigation. My approach prioritizes building lasting agreements tailored to meet each family's unique circumstances while equipping clients with the tools they need to resolve future disputes on their own, without court involvement.. My ability to examine an issue from every side has helped me develop a balanced approach to family law cases. I help clients identify and prioritize their goals, staying grounded in what matters to them. Equal emphasis on client education and advocacy ensures my clients are well-informed and able to confidently make decisions about their cases.. I began my legal career as a paralegal at a law firm in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee before moving to Portland for law school where I externed as a clerk for the Honorable Robert E. Jones for the United States District Court, District of Oregon. Since moving to Portland, I have worked at firms with a wide range of practice areas, from business advising and strategy to elder law and intellectual property law. I hold a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from the University of Memphis and a juris doctor from the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College.. In my free time, you may find me starting yet another DIY project, enjoying Portland's fantastic food, checking out a band, binging sitcoms, or getting lost in a puzzle.
