Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

My practice focuses on family law  and  divorce.  I have  an LLM in taxation which is very useful when assessing the property and financial aspects of cases and when drafting settlement documents.  I also have a background in criminal law. I spent several years working as a public defender during which time I gained invaluable court room experience trying high profile criminal cases.  My criminal and estate planning background compliment and provide depth to my family law practice.  My experience, combined with my knowledge of family law, lends me a unique perspective when advising clients.. My criminal background is advantageous in many family law matters, particularly those where criminal allegations are pending, or domestic violence is alleged and protection orders are being sought.. My philosophy is to negotiate where possible, but not to waste my client’s time and money trying to reach agreement when none is forthcoming.  I am not anxious to litigate over every issue, but I am very qualified and competent in those instances where a court appearance or trial is necessary.

Firm: The Vern McCray Law Firm, PLLC

413 NE Everett St. , Camas , Washington 98607

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

Vern McCray’s rule of practice is “Treat others the way you would want to be treated.” We treat our clients like they are family to us & that is how we look after their interests. Our attorneys have good working relationships with virtually every firm in town, & with adjacent professionals. Mr. McCray's thorough approach to helping each client navigate what is often the most difficult time in a person’s life has earned him the reputation of being a fierce advocate to have on their side.. A Clark County native, Vern McCray started his legal career in 1989, under the mentorship of Clark County Superior Court Judge Edwin L. Poyfair. He prosecuted misdeamenors such as DUIs and Assault 4 cases as an Assistant Deputy Prosecutor for the City of Washougal at the same time he worked at Poyfair & English.. When Judge Poyfair took the bench in 1992, Mr. McCray began working for Boyd & Gaffney (now Boyd Gaffney Sowards & Treosti PLLC), where his 2nd great mentor, James Boyd, threw him into the deep end with a felony public defense contract for Clark County & Skamania County. It was through the defense contract where Mr. McCray gained his 3rd great mentor in criminal felonies, the Honorable Judge Robert Lewis. Judge Lewis & Mr. McCray each took approximately 125 felony cases each year between Clark County & Skamania, and split the Juvenile criminal contract and Dependency contract. Mr. McCray kept his felony public defense contract for over 10 years before going into private criminal defense.. Mr. McCray’s working relationships with opposing counsel have inspired resolution in the most convoluted circumstances. In the event trial is not the best course- Mr. McCray has a track record of obtaining dismissals, civil compromises, and reduced charges on criminal cases, and structuring settlements in family law cases, wrongful death lawsuits, and large estates.. In 2012, Mr. McCray branched away from Boyd, Gaffney, McCray, Sowards, & Treosti & took over the firm’s Camas location as his own practice. Today, Mr. McCray’s decision making is relied on by other judges, who call upon him to act as Pro-Tem Judge in their stead, as well as a Special Master of Evidence. For the past decade, Mr. McCray has limited his own practice to criminal defense and family law, two areas of the law he finds most rewarding.. When he is not in the office, Mr. McCray is either serving as a Pro-tem Judge in Skamania Superior Court, or farming on 100 acres of his Goldendale property with his wife, and their many, many animals.. Our firm serves Clark County: Camas, Washougal, Battleground, Brush Prairie, Ridgefield, Vancouver and Skamania County.. Should you find yourself going through the difficulty of a family law matter, or through the nightmare of a criminal prosecution, contact The Vern McCray Law Firm to schedule a free case consultation with Mr. McCray.
