With Belinda's skilful mediation, we navigated a very stressful time in our family in trying to…read morefind a way to negotiate sharing a property. I highly recommend her as a mediator. She went over and above what we would have expected, and proved herself capable of handling some very challenging situations in our journey together. Through her guidance and facilitation skills we learned about ourselves, and were able to see our situation more clearly, and come to a hard choice together. Though we are still living into this journey, and the decision we came to is hard to live with - we might each have hoped for a different outcome - I do feel we arrived at what was true in that moment. And so we move forward. Everything changing all the time. What I appreciate about Belinda's offering was how we discovered a few new ways of "holding our seat" while being confronted with uncomfortable truths.

My experience with Heidi and her staff were exemplary in my opinion.

Jill's great. In a word to describe her as an attorney: INTEGRITY…read more My wife and I scheduled a consultation with her to discuss changing an existing parenting plan for my wife and my "step" kids. In the past my wife's been represented by a well known high priced Portland lawyer who in my opinion, took advantage of my wife and her family by running up years worth of legal services because they could as emotions ran high as they often do in divorce. Sadly the legal services bill didn't match the results and ended up being a lot of wasted money (and emotions). So in seeking new representation it was important to me that we found with someone I trusted who wasn't going to do this again. We needed someone we could trust. Like a needle in a haystack, we found J-I-Double hockey stick. After she spend 45 minutes tentatively listening to the details of our circumstance, she offered sound both legal and personal advice giving us clear, concise direction and feedback. But what leads me to write this review is because at the point in the conversation where other lawyers would have sought a retainer (that I was perfectly willing to pay), Jill's focus wasn't on that and instead of collecting a $5k retainer and doing it for us (IDK what her real retainer is for the record) and offered the guidance on what we needed to do and how she suggested going about it. Instead of taking a retainer she just said to come back for consultation as needed and we'll pay on that basis. This is why I use the word INTEGRITY to describe Jill as an attorney. This is why you should pay no attention to Yelp reviewer Dirk A. who by the way sounds like an A....... anyway, Jill's great and you can put your faith and trust in her.

Although Jennifer is worth her weight in gold, she did not nickle and dime me to death.

The mediation appointment was scheduled for 10am on January 2, 2025. The email i was sent for the…read moremediation appointment stated that a link would be sent. So I waited....and waited...then waited some more. Everyone knows that January 1st is a holiday. A Zoom link, should have been delivered December 31, 2024 or at the very latest, the morning of, 15 minutes before the appointment. Instead, I send an email last night requesting the link, no reply. This morning, frantically i might add, I call 5 or 6 times, leave messages, sent one or two emails, not including the one I sent last night requesting the Zoom link. I was not delivered a link until 10:41am! That's no way to begin a tense discussion with the parties involved. It really set a negative tone for the mediation. I was agitated through out, it was a colossal waste of time! Rhetorically I wonder... "Could I have received a professional, productive, and a positive experience had this been a mediation that was paid for by the parties involved, as opposed to a free service?" Free is not free when it costs peace of mind. P.S. The reviews on this page read more like advertisements than personal experience based on service or lack thereof.

Because of Sean's preparation and courtroom experience, we were able to increase my time with my children by 110%. If you want results from a family law attorney... I highly recommend you retain Sean Stephens.

Sean Stephens stood out as extraordinary from the beginning, a corrective and welcome change from…read moreother divorce lawyers I had engaged. I began with several of the most highly regarded divorce lawyers in the city before deciding on Sean and his team. Throughout the divorce process, I felt calm and confident in him. He was astute in understanding the complexities of my case; clear and direct in communication; and, planful, creative, and assertive in strategy. I am thoroughly pleased with the results; he saved me time, pain, and money. His passion and effectiveness in helping people is a truly winning combination. Details follow. I needed a lawyer with incisive mind and moxie determination to cut through the charm and vindictive resolve of my former husband to "make [me] suffer and pay for this divorce...it will be very, very difficult for you." To find Sean Stephens, I went on an unfortunate expensive and time-wasting odyssey. I hope this review helps you save your energy and efforts for the exhausting divorce journey. After years of ambivalence and paralyzing fear in a marriage, I decided to find a lawyer who would not cower or cave to my husband's demands. I started working with JS, a lawyer known for fierce dog-fighting in the courtroom. I felt dread after each meeting, feeling a need to prepare for a battle that would shred any possibility of preserving an amicable parenting relationship for our son. After a few thousand dollars, I left, soured on the process; and, I waited two years before trying again. I met, along with my ex, JO, a compassionate collaborative divorce lawyer, who after hearing of my husband's hidden moves advised me to abort the collaborative process and prepare to protect myself from damage. I then began working with AM, a lawyer with bluster and hubris that might have met my husband on his level, but was nothing I wanted anything to do with, again. I began working with LR, a gentle understanding lawyer who was kind, but seemed a bit in a fog; I lost confidence that she would remember the details or take a firm stance. After over $10k, and considerable time and effort spent trying to find the right combination of traits in a lawyer, I came upon Sean Stephens. Since the first day working with Sean, I never doubted or feared. He understood my ultimate goals were to get money and support I deserved, and to preserve a working relationship with my former husband and father of my son. As I worked with Sean, he managed the complexities and intensities of my case deftly, with aplomb. I observed that with his own office and team, he is respectful, kind, fair, and supportive. His office is a good, balanced, and happy space, doing great work. During the tense mediation day, he let me rest in the yoga room within their office. I loved the representation of women and men, many from underrepresented groups, outperforming other teams I have seen in the various offices. He is an impassioned lawyer effective in helping others, who thoroughly practices the fairness and kindness for which he fights for others. My former husband indeed attempted to burn and destroy, but Sean deftly created a shield, with various strategies, including shuttle-mediation, that ultimately preserved my ability to amicably work with my ex to be parents at our best for our son. My son, family and I could not be more grateful. Dear reader, your circumstances may not seem or be as extreme, complex, or contentious, but Sean Stephens would be there for you, as for me, just in case. I will be nominating him for the SuperLawyer award, as a client/informal nomination, because he is truly extraordinary.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience from start to finish. Kenji and his small but mighty team were beyond caring, attentive, and professional in every way. Every email was copied to the whole team so nothing ever got missed. I was guided through all the document gathering, and they took the necessary time through emails and phone calls to grasp and understand the nature of my business and financial losses so they could do the best job to recover everything. They did not miss a thing!! They handled every aspect of my case with full transparency and gained my complete trust. They were there every step of the way through my hours-long deposition and even longer mediation. Kenji made sure we had plenty of time to talk and prepare beforehand so there were no surprises and I felt completely comfortable in the space. The end result was a settlement that was well over what I anticipated when I first reached out to Kenji. I 100% recommend!!
