Randall E. Poff, Attorney at Law

Serving clients with legal matters in Oregon since 1978, covering all aspects of family law and bankruptcy, including:

• Divorce in Oregon
• Child Custody & Support in Oregon
• Ch.7 "Liquidation" Bankruptcy
• Ch.13 "Reorganization" Bankruptcy
• Creditors' Rights in Bankruptcy

Mr. Poff has handled all types of family cases for more than 26 years, with a particular focus on divorce (dissolution of marriage), property division, children and parenting, support, alimony, modifications, issues between unmarried partners, paternity and juvenile matters.

"Why pay higher fees for a big, impersonal law firm to cover its huge overhead and large staff? When you retain me, I will always serve you personally and as efficiently as possible. Although no lawyer can promise a particular result or give a "guarantee," I commit to listen and evaluate your objectives and give you my honest assessment of your circumstances. I will always provide a reasonable fee estimate, and a written fee agreement, articulating expectations for both lawyer and client. If this is what you are looking for, call me or send a brief e-mail for more information."

In my spare time, I am involved in the community. I am proud to be the Scoutmaster of Troop 100, a "boy-run" scout unit of Cascade Pacific Council. I am also active in youth soccer, both coaching and as a referee. The only professional game in town is the Trailblazers. I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon (yes, all the rain keeps things green here!). I am married and have three sons. I received my B.S. in Economics from Portland State University and my J.D. from Lewis & Clark College - Northwestern School of Law. I was admitted to the Bar in Oregon in 1978 and the U.S. Supreme Court in 1981. The one constant in family law cases is that each family and individual situation is different. Some cases may require Kramer vs. Kramer or War of the Roses adversarial techniques, while others may obtain comparable results through negotiation or mediation.

• My primary goal is to help my clients get through a difficult time in their lives with the least amount of wasted time, emotional pain and unnecessary expense.
• I would be happy to consult with you (or your local attorney) about your particular Oregon legal needs.
• I allow a free one-half hour consultation (by phone or appointment in the office). Please be concise, but be prepared to report the important details of your legal situation. I will try my best to provide an estimate of your legal fees based upon the issues you present.
• Call me directly at (503) 241-3141 or send e-mail to Pofflawyer@att.net.
• Important Note: The security and confidentiality of e-mail are still suspect; if you chose to use e-mail, be aware that many others may have access to your message. Sensitive legal matters are best discussed by telephone or "snail mail" (cellular phones and portable phones have similar eavesdropper potential).

If you establish a professional relationship with an attorney, you need to be careful to use a private method for communication with your attorney. Bulletin Boards and Chat areas are NOT private. Also, E-Mail may not be a sufficiently private method for communication with your attorney.

Warning: If your communication with an attorney is not private, the attorney-client privilege to protect disclosure of confidential communication is lost.

The information contained on this Web-page is intended neither as legal advice, nor to create an attorney-client relationship. The law is very complicated and you should always consult with your own attorney before taking any significant action. Mr. Poff does provide a free initial consultation regarding matters in Oregon, and often advises clients or their attorneys outside Oregon. They can reach him at 503-241-3141.
