Divorce and/or child custody conflicts with your spouse or partner will be one of the more stressful experiences of your life. As your attorney, I will listen carefully to your concerns, and offer you practical and compassionate advise. I will work diligently to settle your case without subjecting you to needless litigation. However, if litigation becomes necessary, I will be your formidable courtroom advocate and ensure that you will not be bullied or taken advantage of by the other side. My philosophy is always to be honest and direct with my clients regarding the law and their options, and then finda way to achieve my clients' goals within the boundaries of the law. In addition to my regular legal work, I do volunteer work advocating for low-income children in divorce and custody matters, ensuring that their needs are paramount in any court-ordered custody and parenting plans. Early in my legal career, I worked as a prosecutor in Clark County, Washington. I have also worked as a volunteer mediator in Multnomah County Small Claims and Landlord/Tenant Courts.

Brett is dual licensed, handling family law matters in both Oregon and Washington.  "I approach each case with an eye toward settlement while at the same time preparing for trial" says Brett.  "This helps prevent surprises and supports a strong negotiating position."  When litigation is called for "I have the experience and knowledge to prepare, manage, and effectively present the case to the court, whether it involves complex or basic asset division, custody and parenting time, child or spousal support, domestic violence or any combination of these matters.". "Perhaps the most important qualities Mr. Bender provides to his clients are "experience, knowledge of the law and court procedures, and assertiveness tempered by common sense and an appropriate sense of humor" states Managing Attorney Colin Amos.  Brett explains further "I strive to use those qualities to ensure that my clients develop reasonable expectations regarding potential case outcomes and to encourage and facilitate fair and equitable negotiated settlements.". Brett is married and a step-father of two intelligent, active and fun teen-aged boys.  He stays fit by biking, skiing (active member of the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol) and playing and coaching basketball.  In addition to being a voracious reader, Brett plays the drums and is a recorded songwriter.
