I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Joseph Beck for his immediate, effective legal…read moreassistance that resulted in swift resolution. I hired Mr. Beck to navigate the process of a very serious legal issue that came up very suddenly. I was given his name from a top attorney in criminal law in the Portland area. I appreciated the free consultation with Mr. Beck before my decision to hire him. It was clear that his expertise in explaining the legal process, the team approach at Harris Velazquez Gibbons, and providing a strategy greatly reduced my anxiety. It then allowed me to focus my energies to help with the strategy. I highly recommend Mr. Beck for his exemplary professionalism, expertise, and efficiency as an attorney.

First, when I called to get a quote for cost for help with my case the receptionist talked down to…read moreme and had an attitude. Pretty sure people that are calling in for an attorney are already feeling overwhelmed and desperate for help and to then have attitude is absolutely unacceptable. The last straw for me with this firm was being told I'd hear from one of the attorneys shortly and they just never called me at all. I would recommend giving your finances to any other firm besides this one. I expect way better for people that are taking so much of my money.

This law firm is complete and absolute trash. I went through them to represent me in a felony case…read moreand they gave me Anna Lasher for representation. She sought out a plea bargain for me that back dated my credit for time served so I would get the credit for the year I had already been incarcerated. Come to find out that my plea agreement wasn't lawful or legal. So then after finding out that Oregon department of corrections wouldn't honor my plea agreement me and my family called and called to ask Anna Lasher to simply go to bat for me and get me the credit for time served that she, the prosecuting attorney, and judge all signed off on she blew me and my family off and wouldn't return our calls. Going through these people was a costly decision and the worst decision I've ever made because it cost me an entire year of my life that I will never get back. If you're considering hiring these people or Anna Lasher herself, just save your money because you'll end up needing it while you're in prison anyway. You would have a better chance at winning your case by representing yourself or even hiring someone from your nearest homeless encampment to represent you in court. Absolutely and completely incompetent at their jobs.

I had a great experience working with Dan and his Legal Assistant, Shelby, throughout my divorce…read more Dan was always calm, level-headed, and professional, even when dealing with difficult situations throughout the process. He knows the legal system extremely well and was always focused on protecting my best interests while giving me clear, practical advice. Shelby was fantastic--responsive, helpful, and always made sure things were taken care of. I really appreciated having both Dan and Shelby in my corner throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and steady divorce attorney and legal team.

Exceptional Representation - Saved Me from Financial Exploitation…read more After a nearly 14-year marriage and a difficult 1.5-year separation attempting to resolve matters amicably and without lawyers, I found myself facing unexpected litigation when my ex- hired an attorney, unilaterally filed for dissolution of the marriage with the court, and sought unrealistic spousal and child support amounts from me. Engaging and retaining Christopher Fanning at Schantz & Fanning was the best decision I could have made. Chris and his team paid extraordinary attention to detail during the financial analysis. He identified undisclosed family trust income on my ex-wife's side, which completely shifted the leverage in our case. Instead of proceeding with a costly trial, he negotiated a settlement agreement that involved no spousal or child support, arranging for a fair division of our marital assets. This allowed me to remain living within my children's school district, providing crucial stability for my family during a major and disruptive transition. Throughout this entire process, Chris's legal expertise and strategic advice kept me grounded emotionally and protected my financial future. I am forever grateful for Chris and his team's representation.

Christopher Fanning was knowledgeable, engaged and supportive. I put my full trust in my attorney throughout the difficult and emotional divorce process. Christopher always kept me informed and grounded. Kiara and Trina were also very professional and supportive during my experience with the law firm. I am very pleased with the end result.

Priscilla Seaborg has been my family law lawyer for several years. Despite a highly contentious…read morecase, she steadfastly maneuvered every turn in the road, never taking her eye off of the ultimate goal: to do what was best for the kids. She worked relentlessly to proactively address issues as they arose - and with her depth of experience, knew when and how to put issues to bed before they ever had the chance to arise. Simply put: when the world around you feels like it is crashing, Priscilla is a rock. At a time of high tension, with personal emotion running high, she is level-headed, smart and shares her opinion unabashedly and yet with great compassion. She operates with integrity, listens with sincerity, and knew the ins and outs of my case -- far better than any opposing counsel -- all of which helped her be a true advocate. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking family law guidance and legal strategy.

If you're looking for an attorney that relies on you to manage the strategy of your own case, then…read morePriscilla is your gal. While she may come off as concerned and engaged, she ultimately leaves you with paltry action, poor accountability and a hefty bill. Nice enough that she may be, she's not committed to her practice or patrons and leaves you with the feeling she'd rather be doing something else. On the plus side she, or rather her assistant, will file the paperwork for you. Something that you don't need to pay 30/hr for.

Ken McNeil is a first class advocate for men needing advice on divorce proceedings or…read morerepresentation in court. My wife and I recently worked through a legal separation proceeding using solely her lawyer (Abby Family Law) to file the documents and present our final pleading and division of the property agreement to the Washington County District Court. Ken listened to me from the first call about how we wanted to try this unorthodox approach to a mutual settlement without incurring duplicate legal costs and performed wonderfully from beginning to end. Having Ken available as I needed for: advice, reality checks, information about the proceedings and to review the documents, gave me good piece of mind and helped keep our mutual legal costs to a minimum. Ken helped me to keep my worry and stress level low so I could concentrate on the critical aspects of my negotiations and final agreement. I would recommend him to anyone in search of legal services as a lawyer that listens and will do their legal and ethical best to help you stay on the right path towards your desired resolution.

Diane also did my estate work, which needed to be changed as a result of the divorce. Erin carefully explained my options in retaining her services for the divorce, and my legal rights, but what I appreciated the most was the fact that, after doing so, she respected that this was "my divorce" as she put it, and the decisions were up to me all along the way. She answered all my questions in person and sent by email, and got the work done in a timely fashion. Amy, the Legal Assistant in this office, also was able to answer many questions over the phone, or refer them to Erin. Diane also answered any question I had about the estate work very promptly, was completely accurate in including everything I asked for in my Will, and went out of her way, as did Amy, to get all of my documents signed and notarized in a safe way during the Coronavirus shutdown.

You will be in good hands with them. D.C.
