Adam McKibben is an associate at Gearing, Rackner & McGrath, LLP and is licensed to practice law in the state of Oregon.. Adam received his Doctor of Jurisprudence Degree from the University of Oregon School of Law in 2016 and his Bachelor of Arts in History and in Art History from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. Prior to entering private practice, he worked as a judicial extern for the Lane County’s Presiding Judge, Karsten H. Rasmussen.. Adam’s interest in family law was sparked by his participation in the University of Oregon’s Domestic Violence Clinic, where he worked litigating Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) restraining orders as well as stalking protective orders. This was one of his first opportunities working with clients one on one. Adam enjoyed identifying legal issues for clients and helping them craft safety plans and strategies for moving forward in their lives.. Adam quickly learned that domestic violence as a category composes a small sliver of a much larger spectrum of family law issues that are largely interconnected. His interest in family law developed as he gained more exposure to custody, parenting time and support issues. He likes that family law allows him to work personally with clients to help them to resolve issues and improve their lives; and appreciates that it represents a unique confluence of different fields of law, including property, contracts and custody.. Adam is a member of the Multnomah County, Clackamas County and Washington County Bar Associations; the Oregon State Bar – Family Law Section; and the Oregon Academy of Family Law Practitioners.

Called "The Professor" within the halls of Goldberg Jones, Brad brings a strong analytical ability to each case that considers not only what a court should do legally but also what the court will likely do practically.  While these two things should be very similar, that is not always the case and it is important that a family law litigator recognize the difference.. “You have to be willing to change gears in any case,” says Brad. “Each case requires a different approach, and during a case, as the case changes, so should your approach. I try to create game plans with clients that address their needs. There are certainly cases where the best results will come by being aggressive early, but there are other cases where finesse is a better route - the key is in knowing the difference.”. Brad is experienced in all phases of litigation including Depositions, negotiation and Trial.. Brad is very active in his free time competing in dodgeball, kickball, softball and raising his two young children.
