As a family law attorney, I strive to make the often harrowing experiences associated with family law as effortless as possible for my clients, and for their families. I recognize the emotional drain and complexities involved with family related matters. I am committed to assisting my clients through this difficult time, not only as an advisor and an advocate, but also as a cheerleader, a soothing voice, and even a friend. To be able to help my clients through this difficult period, to show them that their lives are not over, that their children will continue to thrive, particularly with their continued love and support, these are the things that drive me in my family law practice.. As an immigration attorney, I find immense satisfaction in helping good people to navigate through what can often appear to be an extremely frustrating and time consuming process. Through advice, education and guidance, it is my privilege to help to empower individuals and families as they confront, and often find success within, a system which I strive to make a bit less daunting.

111 SW Columbia St. , Portland , Oregon 97201

📍 In ZIP 97201

Practice Areas: Family

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.

"This helps prevent surprises and supports a strong negotiating position." When litigation is called for "I have the experience and knowledge to prepare, manage, and effectively present the case to the court, whether it involves complex or basic asset division, custody and parenting time, child or spousal support, domestic violence or any combination of these matters.". "Perhaps the most important qualities Mr. Bender provides to his clients are "experience, knowledge of the law and court procedures, and assertiveness tempered by common sense and an appropriate sense of humor" states Managing Attorney Colin Amos. Brett explains further "I strive to use those qualities to ensure that my clients develop reasonable expectations regarding potential case outcomes and to encourage and facilitate fair and equitable negotiated settlements.". Brett is married and a step-father of two intelligent, active and fun teen-aged boys. He stays fit by biking, skiing (active member of the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol) and playing and coaching basketball. In addition to being a voracious reader, Brett plays the drums and is a recorded songwriter.
