“Tricia is about the most tenacious litigator I have had the pleasure of working with”, lauds Managing Attorney Colin Amos. “Her significant criminal defense background and litigation experience gives clients comfort when settlement discussions fail. She is what we would call a “bulldog” for her clients. Men especially like the fact she is a very strong advocate in custody and spousal support cases.” Her very effective philosophy of preparing every case as if it were going to trial leads to better outcomes in settlement for her clients.. “The overwhelming majority of my family law clients are men”, Tricia acknowledges. “My first job as an attorney was working for Legal Aid representing women in Divorce, Custody and Restraining Order cases, which greatly helped me in understanding the mentality of the typical opponent here at Goldberg Jones.”. In her nearly non-existent free time, Tricia enjoys Portland nightlife, music, swimming, microbrews, books, dogs and candy.

“Colin has excelled in his role as Managing Attorney of the Portland office”, says Managing Partner Rick Jones. “His tireless work ethic, commitment to customer service and infectious enthusiasm has been a major reason why Goldberg Jones is among the elite firms in the area.” Colin also has a keen eye for talented attorneys and has succeeded in assembling a team of attorneys who can effectively handle any family law matter presented. “Colin and his staff in Portland exemplify the purpose and goals of Goldberg Jones in representing husbands and fathers.”. Colin considers himself to be highly strategic in his approach to family law. He notes “there are very few events in life as important as a Divorce or custody matter.” “I believe that experience and compassion are essential traits for an attorney. However, it is aggressive, proactive advocacy that distinguishes us in our efforts to obtain the best results possible for our clients.”. Spending time with his wife and two children consumes all of Colin’s free time. He strongly supports their academic and athletic interests, coaching competitive soccer for both children. Colin exemplifies our firm’s client centered approach when he says “I believe there is nothing more important than having the opportunity to be involved in your children’s lives on a regular basis. This continued involvement is why I am so passionate in the practice of family law.”
