“Tricia is about the most tenacious litigator I have had the pleasure of working with”, lauds Managing Attorney Colin Amos. “Her significant criminal defense background and litigation experience gives clients comfort when settlement discussions fail. She is what we would call a “bulldog” for her clients. Men especially like the fact she is a very strong advocate in custody and spousal support cases.” Her very effective philosophy of preparing every case as if it were going to trial leads to better outcomes in settlement for her clients.. “The overwhelming majority of my family law clients are men”, Tricia acknowledges. “My first job as an attorney was working for Legal Aid representing women in Divorce, Custody and Restraining Order cases, which greatly helped me in understanding the mentality of the typical opponent here at Goldberg Jones.”. In her nearly non-existent free time, Tricia enjoys Portland nightlife, music, swimming, microbrews, books, dogs and candy.
