About the Practice
As a small, agile family law firm serving the Portland, Oregon metro area, we offer clients the best of both worlds: the personalized attention of a boutique practice and the broad support network typically found at larger firms. Through strong relationships with colleagues across the legal community, we’re able to provide comprehensive services—including divorce, child custody, and estate planning—tailored to each client’s needs.
Our experience spans both military and civilian courts, giving us a well-rounded, strategic perspective that benefits clients navigating complex family law issues. Whether you’re dealing with divorce, custody disputes, or trust and estate matters, we bring insight and efficiency to every case.
At Wilson Family Law, we’re guided by a core commitment: protecting the well-being of children and empowering parents with the legal tools and counsel they need to secure a stable future. And while we focus on delivering exceptional family law services, we also know when to refer you to trusted professionals outside our scope—ensuring you receive the right support, every step of the way.
Areas of Practice
Prenuptials
Protecting assets before entering into marriage is one of the most effective ways families can create peace of mind and prevent future conflict. At Wilson Family Law, we help clients establish prenuptial agreements that promote transparency, security, and long-term stability. We believe that taking a proactive approach is always better than facing unexpected surprises down the road—especially when it comes to financial matters and family well-being.
Wills and Estate Planning
You’ve worked hard to build your wealth, and it’s important to ensure your assets are protected and distributed according to your wishes. Whether you’re creating a will, setting up a trust, planning for your family’s future, or supporting charitable causes, we provide trusted estate planning services throughout the Portland, Oregon metro area. We help you create clear, legally sound documents that reflect your intentions and provide lasting peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Marriage Dissolution
Unfortunately, not all marriages endure over time. At Wilson Family Law, we provide experienced and compassionate legal support for divorce and the dissolution of marriage, helping clients across Oregon navigate related matters such as property division, child custody, and spousal support with clarity and care.
