Experienced Advocates In Family And Criminal Law
At Morris Family Law, we combine powerful litigation experience with client-focused strategy – offering comprehensive legal protection for the moments that matter most.
Based in Portland, Oregon, we are a full-service litigation firm built for real-life legal challenges. We are widely recognized for our strength in family law – including divorce, custody, parenting time, and high-conflict family law matters — but our work extends beyond traditional family practice.
Legal issues often arise together: a divorce may include a FAPA or stalking order; a custody dispute may be impacted by criminal allegations; a guardianship may intersect with estate planning needs. At Morris Family Law, we don’t treat these as isolated problems. We offer coordinated legal representation across family law, criminal defense, protective order litigation, guardianships, and estate planning – ensuring every aspect of your case is addressed with clarity, strength, and care.

Protecting Families Across Portland And Oregon
We know that divorce and family disputes are some of the most emotionally and legally complex challenges you’ll ever face. That’s why we approach each case with meticulous preparation, courtroom readiness and unwavering commitment to your goals. We are known for our excellence in high-stakes litigation – in the courtroom, in mediation, and in contested hearings throughout Portland and Oregon.
Our team brings a depth of legal knowledge and strategic insight to every family law matter, including divorce, custody and parenting time disputes, modifications, stepparent and grandparent rights, co-parenting agreements and relationship contracts. We also represent both petitioners and respondents in Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) and stalking order cases, where safety and due process are equally at stake.
But fierce advocacy doesn’t mean unnecessary conflict. Our attorneys are equally skilled at resolving matters out of court – and often do so with great success. We work closely with our clients to understand not only the facts of their case, but the full picture of their lives: their children, their values, and their vision for the future. Our goal is never just to “win” – it’s to help our clients move forward with dignity, security and clarity.
We proudly represent clients in the LGBTQIA+ community and with diverse family structures, ensuring that everyone receives compassionate legal support.
Beyond family law, we offer estate planning and probate services that often intersect with family concerns, providing comprehensive care for our clients’ legal needs.
Serving clients in Portland and throughout Oregon, we take the time to understand each client’s unique circumstances and craft strategic legal solutions that safeguard their families and their future.
Defending Your Rights With Compassion And Determination
Facing criminal charges can be one of the most overwhelming and vulnerable moments in your life. At Morris Family Law, we understand the fear and uncertainty that come with being accused of a crime – and we’re here to guide you through it with clarity, respect, and strength.
We don’t just prepare cases – we build them from the ground up, with exacting attention to detail and an unshakable belief in due process. We challenge weak evidence, expose procedural missteps, and work relentlessly to secure the best possible outcome, whether that means dismissal, negotiation, or trial.
What sets us apart is not just how hard we fight – but how closely we listen. We take the time to understand the impact the case is having on your life, and we keep you informed every step of the way. You’ll never be left in the dark, and you’ll always know where your case stands.
In moments when the stakes are high, you deserve a legal team that’s as serious about your case as you are. We’re here – and we don’t back down.
