Jeff Matthews is a veteran family lawyer who has practiced family law in Oregon for over 30 years. He has distinguished himself as one of Portland’s most respected divorce and family law attorneys with his leadership, professionalism, and interdisciplinary approach to family law. Jeff is a longtime Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and the immediate past president of the AAML Oregon chapter.. After several years away, Jeff has returned to Gevurtz Menashe where he continues his practice on financially complex divorce cases that include the valuation and protection of estates with high net worth, business interests, and other property distribution issues. He is also skilled with high conflict custody litigation. Prior to rejoining Gevurtz Menashe, Jeff was a Partner at McKinley Irvin, as well as a shareholder at Yates Matthews Family Law.. As a family law attorney, Jeff views his role with his clients as twofold. First, he serves as a guide through a huge life transition, seeing them through to the next chapter of their lives as whole as possible. Second, he is his client’s zealous advocate, committed to protecting what they value most.. “My approach with clients is to provide them with the best outcome we can achieve in their particular situation,” says Jeff. “I listen and learn what their goals are, so I can provide informed and concrete advice on their situation that leads to a positive resolution.”. Jeff chose to focus his practice on family law because he is “drawn to people and their life stories. I’m fulfilled by helping clients and their families, where every case is different and presents unique challenges to tackle.”. He has earned a reputation in the legal community as a successful advocate by focusing first on cooperative communication with the opposing party and their counsel. Jeff knows that this approach often results in a quicker and less costly legal process. When necessary, however, he is no stranger to the courtroom, having represented clients in over 100 trials and hearings over the years of his practice.. Jeff is committed to the community and has served with a number of non-profit organizations that aid those in need. In 1997 Jeff founded Oregon Lawyers Against Hunger which over the years has now raised over $1 million for Oregon Food Bank.
