Stahancyk, Kent, Johnson & Hook

BRIAN KULHANJIAN: maybe not the easiest name to pronounce, but well worth learning how! Brian makes you feel like you're his only client. During our first conference, he picked up on small details immediately, getting to the heart of the matter Not just thorough, incredibly bright and easy to talk to, with a warm sense of humor, but (and this one's a huge plus when concerning the infammatory nature of divorce) ... emphathetic. Near the close of our first hour, after sincerely asking us how we were doing, Brian diplomatically suggested that if either of us needed any counseling help, he had references readily available. Like any metropolitan city, Portland offers many choices. Happily, luckily, we happened to find the very best.

Pros: Great parking, lovely reception area, always nice people behind the front desk.

I wholeheartedly recommend Teresa Foster. Unlike other attorneys I've worked with, she can take a very complex case and cut to the chase with some grounded, successful approaches. She listens extremely well; works very collaboratively with her clients and other professionals; maintains sound boundaries, when responding to other parties representing themselves pro-se; and sustains a consistent strategy to achieve some important goals. She has helped protect my child from some serious risks: I'd particularly recommend Teresa is your divorce case involves any situations which place your child at risk or involve unusual complications or challenges.

Laurel Hook (and the Stahancyk firm) proved to be one of the silver linings of my divorce. Laurel went above and beyond to explain the legal process, was an excellent advocate on my behalf and artfully walked me through every aspect of my divorce with excellent results. She is an outstanding attorney who demonstrated a real genuine concern for me and my children. Laurel, Jody Stahancyk and Laurie Krachtovil didn't stop providing first class support with the signing of the judgement - they went on to assist me in finding a new home, car and employment! From my first telephone to the firm I felt understanding, compassion and confidence that I'd found the attorney (attorneys) and staff with the legal knowledge, experience and ability to advocate on my behalf which would result in a positive outcome.

The lead attorney on my case was Grace Lee, however I ended up working primarily with Brian Kulhanjian. Grace was a delight to work with. Brian is who saw me through a long and nasty divorce. Brian was incredibly thorough and always responded promptly to my questions or phone calls. He made sure I was comfortable with the terms of the divorce and understood everything. My emotions were running high and he helped maintain a sense of order in a devestating time. I so appreciate Brian's professionalism and also sincere thought and care for my and my son's well-being. I highly recommend this attorney.

Pros: Easy parking, the office is warm and everyone is inviting

Cons: It is a little spendy, but well worth the money

As a Father of two young girls, custody was my primary concern in the settlement of my divorce. The first attorney I hired told me that, as a man, I had little chance to get custody and that I should negotiate with that in mind. I fired him. I was then referred to Grace Lee and to make a long story short I now have 50% custody with no child support or alimony payments. Grace got the results that I wanted and she did while maintaining a high ethical standard and a professional demeanor. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of an impending divorce then you need to call Grace before your spouse does.

Pros: Professional, Ethical, Knowlegable, Tenacious and Efficient

Cons: Downtown office makes Washington county court visits spendy

Teresa Foster served as my attorney through a recent divorce and I couldn't be happier with her or the results of the settlement. I not only felt very comfortable working with her but was extremely confident in how she handled all of the matters involved. In addition to her professional demeanor and actions in the courtroom I truly appreciated the personal approach she exhibited in guiding me through the process. Hopefully my future will not include another divorce but if it does I would not hesitate in making Teresa the first attorney I would call.

I have had a great experience with Teresa Foster as my attorney. She is a true professional with a good heart. She has an incredible way getting results when a situations calls for it. I admire her professional and personal opinion. She has been worth every penny. I suggest using her if you want to get things done. Stahancyk, Kent, Johnson, and Hook has done a good and complete job for me in all phases. I can't say enough about Teresa. She is someone you want on your side.

Philip Andrews has been upbeat, positive, and has shown a working knowledge of the law. He listens and shows by his actions--follow through. I have experienced integrity with him. This has been very important, since my experience has, in the past, with other attorneys been just the opposite.
