A Skilled, Strategic, And Compassionate Legal Team Serving Portland And Beyond

When life presents you with challenging legal issues, reach out to a team committed to empowering you and protecting your future. We are Morris Family Law, and we are located in Portland, Oregon. We provide empathetic, detail-oriented and meticulous legal services throughout the area. We believe in strong advocacy and work tirelessly to understand and meet the unique needs of our clients. Our compassionate attorneys are ready to pursue your goals.

Dedicated Legal Advocacy for Families, Individuals And Futures In Oregon

At Morris Family Law, we serve clients across the Portland and greater Oregon area with clarity, compassion, and a deep commitment to excellence. We offer a full spectrum of legal services focused on the issues that matter most — your family, your freedom and your future.

Our firm is rooted in a client-centered approach. Whether you’re navigating a divorce, establishing a parenting plan, or seeking protection through a FAPA or stalking order, our family law team delivers strategic and empathetic guidance tailored to your goals.

When criminal charges threaten your future, we provide serious, skilled defense — from misdemeanors to complex felonies — with tireless advocacy and a clear plan forward. You’ll have a team that knows the law, knows the courtroom, and knows how to protect your rights.

We also help individuals and families plan ahead through customized estate planning services, offering peace of mind and practical tools to protect what matters most.

At every stage, our attorneys bring sharp legal skill, detailed preparation, and a strong sense of purpose — to resolve conflict, reduce uncertainty, and help you move forward with confidence.

Rooted In Excellence. Driven By Purpose. Built For What Matters Most.

We know that legal issues rarely fit neatly into one category. A divorce may require updates to your estate plan. A criminal charge might impact your custody rights. Protective orders, parenting plans and financial security often intersect in ways that demand more than isolated legal advice — they require a coordinated legal strategy.

Our unique combination of practice areas allows us to provide precisely that. With deep experience in family law, criminal defense and estate planning, our team works collaboratively to address the full scope of your legal concerns. We look at how each issue affects the others — and we design solutions that protect your rights, your family and your future as a whole.

No matter how complex or interwoven your situation may be, we have the insight and experience to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

A Truly Local Team

We don’t just practice law in Portland — we live here, raise our families here, and are deeply connected to the communities we serve. Our Oregon roots shape everything we do, from the way we communicate with clients to the way we fight for their future.

We see the people who come to us not only as case numbers but as neighbors navigating difficult chapters in their lives. That’s why we’re committed to providing responsive, personalized legal support with the empathy, clarity and determination our clients deserve.

When you work with us, you’re not just hiring a law firm — you’re gaining a trusted partner who knows this community, understands your challenges, and is ready to advocate for what matters most to you.

Our Mission And Values

Our mission is to provide exceptional legal representation grounded in empathy, equity and integrity. We are unwavering in our commitment to protecting the rights and well-being of children and families — in every form they take.

Child-Centered Advocacy

We know that when it comes to your children, nothing is more important. We’re not just lawyers — many of us are parents, too. We understand firsthand the profound responsibility of safeguarding your child’s well-being during divorce, custody and parenting time disputes.

That’s why we prioritize child welfare in every family law matter we handle. We advocate fiercely for solutions that protect your child’s safety, stability and emotional security — and we do so with the sensitivity and strategic focus that these high-stakes cases demand. Whether in litigation or settlement, our goal is always to support a future where your child can thrive.

Dedicated Support For LGBTQIA+ Families

We proudly serve LGBTQIA+ clients and their families with the respect, care and legal excellence they deserve. We understand that LGBTQIA+ clients often face unique legal and social challenges — from navigating complex parenting rights to overcoming systemic bias in family court.

Our team is committed to creating a supportive, inclusive legal environment where every client feels seen, heard, and empowered. We bring both the legal knowledge and lived awareness necessary to protect your family, your rights and your future — with clarity, strength and compassion.

Community And Political Engagement

Our work doesn’t end in the courtroom. We’re actively engaged in community and policy initiatives that promote justice, equity, and the well-being of children and families across Oregon. From legal reform to local partnerships, we’re committed to building a better future — one case, one voice and one community at a time.

Compassionate Representation. Exceptional Advocacy.

Our attorneys combine compassion with deep legal skill to ensure every client feels seen, heard and powerfully supported. We take the time to understand your goals, explain your options, and advocate with precision — whether at the negotiating table or in the courtroom.

What Our Clients Say

Erin’s expertise with family law is exactly what I needed in order to navigate a difficult and contentious custody battle and divorce. She has extensive knowledge of how the system works, required paperwork to achieve the desired end, how the different municipal court systems operate, local judges and lawyers in the field, and the dos and don’ts of separation and preparation for mediation/trial.
