What Is Family Law?
This area of law encompasses all legal issues directly connected to familial relationships. It is sometimes also called domestic relations law. It falls within the realm of civil law, not criminal law. So, while it can involve lawsuits, it does not involve criminal charges. However, domestic relations law and criminal law can sometimes interact with each other, such as in cases involving restraining orders or abuse allegations.

We offer comprehensive representation in a wide range of Oregon family law matters, including:
- Divorce and legal separation: Protecting your rights and long-term interests when a relationship ends

Help With Protective And Restraining Orders
Protective orders (also known as restraining orders) can be life-saving tools for people facing abuse, threats, or harassment. Common types in Oregon include:

- Stalking protective orders

- Elder abuse protective orders
