Janie Mogensen

Firm: Janie Mogensen Attorney at Law
132 East Broadway, Suite 233 , Eugene , Oregon 97401
Practice Areas: Family
I was a military wife for 18 years, travelling to many places throughout the United States and Europe.  It was a fascinating experience and taught me about different cultures and people.  I use that experience in my law practice.  I try to focus on more than just a person's legal issues.  I feel it is important to help a client stay calm and focused during a time in their lives when so much may seem to be out of control.. I began my education while stationed at RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom.  I finished my bachelors of science degree, graduating cum laude, at Auburn University, Montgomery, in Montgomery, Alabama.  I finished my education in 2014, getting my law degree at the University of Oregon.  I passed the bar in 2014 and have been practicing continuously since that time.. My goal as an attorney is to do what I can to help my clients reach their goals.  If those goals are not realistic, I will tell my clients and help them readjust to something more obtainable.  I feel it is important to be upfront with clients, even if that means telling them the brutal realities of their situation.

I understand through firsthand experience that issues related to marriage, family and other relationships can be among the most stressful and confusing you will ever encounter in your life but I am skilled at educating and guiding you through whatever process you are encountering whether negotiating and litigating the most complex contested financial and custody cases or drafting and finalizing uncontested divorces. My family law practice encompasses not only divorce but also domestic partnerships, separation agreements, spousal support, child support, custody, parenting time (visitation) and domestic violence (FAPA).. In addition to my marital and family law practice, I also focus on representing individuals in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies as well as individuals who have been arrested for, or convicted of, DUI including diversion entry and probation violations.. In my over 20 years of practice, I have cultivated and maintained a trustworthy and reliable reputation among both my colleagues with whom, and the judges before whom, I regularly practice. I have direct and consistent interaction with all of my clients and have developed and maintained a solid reputation for being accessible and prompt in communicating with my clients whether by phone, e-mail or in person.

Henry LeSueur

Firm: The LeSueur Law Firm
811 SW Naito Pkwy Suite 420 , Portland , Oregon 97204
Practice Areas: Family
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.
