How Our Family Law Attorneys Guide You
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.
During the course of your process, you will have questions and want concise and timely answers.
Our Portland family law attorney is there to answer your questions and offer you the respect and guidance you deserve. As a small firm, we take a concierge approach to our clients and offer the personalized attention you need at a critical time in your life.
During your initial consultation, we meet with you personally to understand your needs and determine your best course of action.

We combine problem‑solving, negotiation, and litigation skills to pursue both amicable and contested resolutions, keeping clients informed throughout the legal process.

What should I expect during the divorce process?
During a divorce, our attorneys will help you understand Oregon family law, provide a clear overview of the process, and guide you through settlement negotiations or litigation when necessary. We focus on reducing financial and emotional stress and keeping you informed to make confident decisions.
Do I have to go to court for family law matters?
Not always. Many family law matters are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or the collaborative divorce process. Our accredited family law attorneys offer representation in both out‑of‑court agreements and contested court proceedings depending on your situation and goals.
What is collaborative divorce and is it right for me?
Collaborative divorce is a structured out‑of‑court process where both parties work with legal and financial professionals to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. It can be a less adversarial, more cooperative alternative to traditional litigation. We assist our clients throughout this process, helping them build a supportive professional team.
What factors affect child support in Oregon?
Child support calculations in Oregon consider both parents’ incomes, the number of children, custody arrangements, and special needs. Our Portland child support lawyer provides guidance on how support amounts are determined and advocates for fair outcomes based on your family’s financial profile.
Can I schedule a consultation before hiring a family law attorney?
Yes. Our Portland family law attorneys invite potential clients to schedule an initial consultation to discuss their family law matter, understand legal options, and determine the best path forward before committing to full representation.
