Gresham Family & Bankruptcy Law

Horrible law shop. They are the Ross Dress for Less of law firms. Customers should be quite cautious, as this place wants to be paid in advance for hours not yet worked, and once paid simply are not available for questions. Our original attorney here quit (smart move), and we went with Begley instead. He never takes calls and doesn't bother returning messages. Shame on this place taking money from disabled senior citizen veterans, and then not providing services agreed upon. Will file complaint with Oregon Bar association..

Not good feeling after consult Kathryn wanted more money on 2 consult. Seemed money oriented not for my decisions. I get it you want your attorney to have your back. But she seemed into wanting me to pay. Went to McKinley and Irvin in Portland much better service less$ and felt secure

Thank you Natalie and Lillian for your professionalism and thoroughness. I'm so grateful for your legal help and advice. I can't recommend this law group enough. They are just the best.

My brother and I needed to get a Power of Attorney drawn up in order to take care of my father's affairs because he was going into an assisted living facility. We came into Lillian's office without an appointment and she was kind enough to see us and listen to our needs. Knowing our situation, she got the process of interviewing our Dad and completing the document completed very quickly.
Lillian was truly a blessing to us when we needed one. We heartily recommend her to anyone needing a dedicated and caring attorney.

Thank you, Lillian!

My husband and I sought Lillians legal assistance when dealing with a situation. She was nothing short of being encouraging, respectful and asking the right questions that we would not of thought about. She was quick, on the ball and gave everything she had for our case. I woukd refer, and do refer this office to those of my friends and family that need legal advice and help.

If you want an attorney that has weak negotiation skills and rolls over in court, then this is your perfect attorney. She lost even the most simple parts of my case and could never be accused of being a zealous advocate for her client. Ms. Watson shows great strength in your in-office consultation with her, but once she is under pressure or in court everything folds and so does your chance of winning even the small points of negotiation. Furthermore, the excessive billing practices she uses are extreme and I feel I was billed for services that were not rendered. Had I to do my divorce over again I would most certainly have kept shopping for a better attorney.

I am sorry to say Gresham Family and Bankruptcy law did not work for me. When I first read the reviews, they seemed pretty good. I went in and they said they could help me file bankruptcy after my ex wife hung me out to dry. The first lady I met with told me to wait almost a year to file bankruptcy, so I did. Then I get a letter that she quit, and the owner Mrs. Watson was going to take over. I went in to talk with her and she didn't even know how to work the computer to run my bankruptcy formula. I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. After she claimed to have run all my paperwork, the most she insisted she could do is file a chapter 13 on me. I new it couldn't be true, but she said she checked over and over again.
Luckily, I had a friend who is a lawyer and he gave me another lawyer's number. The new lawyer at a different office said I passed with flying colors. I had waited an entire year and had to pay many fees because of Lillian Watson. On top of it, she charged me $700 to run off copies of my paperwork. There are plenty of bankruptcy attorneys out there who will go out of their way to help you. I suggest shopping around first. I lost a lot of money that I did not have at the time because of this office, let alone they wanted to set me up in a chptr 13 for the next four years.
