LeeAnn gave us perspective on the requirements and a simple list of steps to complete. She consulted with us on our concerns and clarified any confusion we had. The value of this service is monumental when facing such a major life decision. If you are like us and reading a list of instructions off a website or document doesn't satisfy the nuances of your personal situation, I would highly recommend consulting with LeeAnn. She will tell you if it becomes apparent that you require the help of an attorney. Fortunately we did not, though without LeeAnn we may have needed to pay one a significantly higher fee for the same assistance. Bearing in mind that LeeAnn charges flat fees for her services and has no financial interest in a drawn out battle. LeeAnn helped us get our documents right the first time so that our filing was received and divorce finalized within a week of the initial filing. Durations and requirements may vary by county, we were fortunate to file in Clackamas. Thank you, LeeAnn!!

After more than three years, I can confidently say that choosing John Alcrohn as my attorney was one of the best decisions I made.

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.

Prior to retaining the services of Holtey Law, my wife and I had been involved in a painful,…read moretwo-year long custodial struggle, with a lawyer who was...less than helpful. Eventually, we were forced to change strategies, and attorneys. We had sought a second opinion on our case from Nathan Holtey, who came recommended to us, and that one hour conversation was enough to convince us that he and his team were up to the task. When the aforementioned change of representation occurred, Nathan was personally unavailable for our case, but recommended the absolutely stellar, professional and personable Allison Kamilos. Allison immediately picked up the slack, leaping in to the middle of the previous attorney's clusterf**k, managing to turn everything around and help us navigate the final steps of our custody battle, despite an absurdly tight schedule before the final deadline. Allison communicated clearly, openly and honestly, listening to our concerns, offering feedback and advice (something our previous attorney failed to do), and making one of the most stressful and frustrating times in our lives navigable, bearable, and affordable. I cannot recommend the services of Holtey Law, and Allison in particular, any higher. If ever the situation arises again, where we are in need of an attorney (and I pray that day never comes), I will look nowhere else for legal representation. Case closed.
