Firm Overview

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."


BE AWARE THAT CONFIDENTIALITY CANNOT BE ASSURED WHEN SENDING E-MAIL
VIA THE INTERNET. IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY OR CONFIDENTIALITY,
PLEASE CONTACT ME BY TELEPHONE OR U.S. MAIL."


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.
