I have worked as a criminal defense lawyer since passing the Oregon State Bar in 2011. The majority of my cases are privately retained, however, I have also worked as a court-appointed attorney in Multnomah County. After working as an associate at a private law firm I opened my own practice, where I serve clients in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties. My criminal defense practice has included defending a huge variety of felony and misdemenor cases, although I have developed a real specialty in DUI defense and have a reputation in town as a tough DUI defense attorney.. I have represented individuals charged with harrassment, assault, forgery, felony possession of a controlled substance, criminal mischief and reckless driving. I have succesfully brought motions to supress evidence that resulted in the dismissal of criminal charges.. My office is in downtown Portland and we handle both civil and criminal matters. On the civil side, my practice consists of divorce, family law and child custody. I have worked as a family law attorney since becoming a lawyer and have extensive experience in all three counties. I am a trial-tested and agressive lawyer in court when you need it, but I can also negotiate an equitable settlement at a low cost to you.. I've lived in Oregon for 8 years and love being an Oregonian. I moved here in 2008 and received my law degree from Lewis and Clark. Instead of returning to Illinois, my wife and I got married and we decided to stay in Oregon. For fun, we take our dog hiking near hood river or for a run on the beach at the Oregon Coast.

Firm: Fedoroff Law LLC

2420 NE Sandy Blvd , Portland , Oregon 97232

Practice Areas: Family

What I truly love about practicing family law is that you, your life, your reality, and your emotions are front and center.  I specialize in respectful, out of court resolutions because the transition of divorce or separation is a time to sort out the things that really matter in your life and for your future, rather than simply focusing on the short-term requirements of a legal divorce. I am passionate about helping you do this.. I offer several services: collaborative law, divorce mediation, and a variety of options to help with uncontested or DIY divorces.. Collaborative Law. Collaborative divorce is an out-of-court, non-adversarial resolution method. Here, you and your spouse work through a specific, interest-based decision making process together in a series of private, safe, joint meetings. Each of you receives guidance and advice from your own attorney, who is specially trained in this process. You may also choose to incorporate other professionals in the process to support you and your family through the transition (e.g., a child specialist, divorce coach, or financial professional). This approach allows you to retain a high-degree of privacy and control over the timeline of your separation, since it is designed to keep you entirely out of the court system until it's time to file your final, agreed-upon judgment. It also allows for creative and well-informed problem-solving.. Divorce Mediation. Divorce mediation is an informal negotiation between you and your spouse, facilitated by a neutral third party specially trained in helping couples respectfully discuss the issues to be decided. You and your spouse retain all decision making authority. The mediator can offer suggestions, but can not "tell you what you should do" or settle disagreements. Because the mediator is neutral and does not represent you or your spouse, the mediator can not give either of you legal advice. Divorce mediation can happen at any time during the divorce process and can be used in a variety of ways to help you resolve some or all of the issues to be decided.. DIY Divorce / Limied or Unbundled Services. Many people are wary of the cost and emotional harm associated with traditional litigation. Others simply wish to avoid retaining attorneys for financial or other reasons. While it makes sense for almost everyone to have some guidance from an attorney while completing a divorce, there are a number of ways to do this with limited involvement of legal professionals.. Uncontested Divorce - When both you and your spouse wish to divorce (or one of you does and the other at least accepts it and is willing to sign divorce papers), one of you can hire an attorney on a limited basis to help you complete the process, and prepare and file the documents with the court.. Kitchen Table Settlement - If you and your spouse are willing and able to work out the details on your own ("around the kitchen table"), you can hire an attorney on a limited basis to review your agreement, make sure you haven't overlooked anything, and if you wish, prepare and file the necessary documents with the court.. Divorce Consulting - This can encompass a variety of things. If you are representing yourself when your spouse has an attorney, you can hire an attorney on a limited basis to consult with you about your options or issues, to review documents prepared by your spouses attorney, or to review documents you have prepared. You can also consult with an attorney to help you prepare for mediation, prepare for difficult conversations with your spouse, learn about specific legal issues, or help you prepare for a hearing.

I became an attorney to help people.  I love getting to know my clients and helping them find solutions to the problems they face.  Every case is different.  I make it a point of getting to know my clients as I find it helps me argue their cases; a personal connection helps me tailor my advocacy to fit the unique facts presented.  A personal connection also helps me identify potential challenges that may lie ahead.  As a general practioner I take pride in offering a balanced and informed perspective to my clients that helps them achieve the best outcome possible in their case.. I am a graduate of Reed College and Lewis & Clark Law School.  I was a Lead Articles Editor for the Lewis & Clark Law Review.  I am admitted to practice before the Oregon State and Federal district courts.  I am also an avid, all-season bicycle commuter..
