We are clear with clients about the financial impact of divorce, and provide advice about how to minimize that impact.
We provide an initial overview of the entire process, but also give clients regular updates about what to expect next, how to prepare, and their options for proceeding. Our lawyers educate clients, so they are part of the team in decision-making and strategy.
We are very responsive to client's needs and questions. Each family is unique, and we customize our approach based on that family's circumstances. Our lawyers are compassionate and good listeners, so clients feel supported during a very emotionally taxing time.
We have clear billing rates, and no hidden fees. We bill for our time in six-minute increments; where most firms have a .2-.3 minimum, our firm uses a .1 minimum.
As a family, many milestones must be navigated during the course of a lifetime. Some of these will require sound and thoughtful legal advice.
At Jill Brittle Family Law Group, we have dedicated ourselves and our practice to providing the best advice and advocacy for our clients who are navigating divorce or other family law issues. With our broad experience, we will help protect your rights, both as a partner and a parent.
Clients often begin researching lawyers by using generic terms like “best Portland divorce attorney,” “best child custody attorneys in Oregon” or “best Oregon attorney.” The truth is, the best attorney for your circumstance is the one who supports you to accomplish your goals, communicates with you, and provides solid legal advice along the way. It is important to build a trusting relationship between client and attorney so that your needs can be met, and your goals can be accomplished. Our approach is to provide individualized attention to each case. One size does not fit all, and our experience allows us to apply case law to the specifics of your case and to track trends within the tri-county area.

While your divorce or other family law matter may be fraught with emotion, vulnerability, or even anger, we don’t believe that all divorces or family matters must be a battle. We take care to walk that fine line between a cooperative stance and implementing an aggressive, tactical strategy, often needing to switch gears to address changing circumstances.
While we always try to minimize conflict in any family law matter, we maintain a calculated approach to ensure that we are doing what is best for our clients and their family. This makes us adept at the family law frameworks of mediation, negotiation, and litigation. Our goal is to offer every client the best legal representation possible with consideration for their emotional safety and long-term financial welfare.
