Top best Family Lawyers in West Linn near me

Thanks for your inquiry into my page. I have been a family law attorney since 2006, spending the first nine years of my career in coastal North Carolina. In October of 2014, I married my husband (a native Portlander) and headed off with our family to the Pacific Northwest. I enjoy most weekends exploring all that Portland and the greater surrounding area has to offer. We reside in the Coumbia Gorge Scenic Area, so hikes and trips to a river or waterfall are a frequent occurrence.. I have dedicated the entirety of my career to helping clients and their families through what is arguably the most unenviable, emotionally and financially straining time of their lives. I pride myself in investing the time to get to know my clients, and in meeting their individual needs both inside and outside the courtroom. I am tough, efficient, and available when you need me.. I have experience in virtually every aspect of family law, from complex child custody and support issues, to property division and post-divorce/modification issues. I am excited to be a part of Eaton Family Law & Mediation, and thank you for taking the time to visit my page. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require additional information or assistance with a specific issue.
