Family Law: Oregon

St. Andrew Legal Clinic (SALC; Portland and Hillsboro locations)

From their site: “No matter your family law needs and income level, SALC is here to serve our clients with compassion and professionalism.”

If someone falls into their highest income bracket, a lawyer is $200/hour and a paralegal is $100/hour. In a much lower income bracket, someone could pay $80/hour for a lawyer.

They offer full and limited representation (where you can save money by doing the parts you can and having them do only the parts you want them to do) for:

  • Adoptions
  • Child Custody
  • Child Support
  • Divorce
  • Domestic Violence Intervention
  • Guardianship
  • Restraining Orders
  • Spousal Support

An initial 30-minute consultation costs $50.

Experience Note: In October 2024, I began volunteering for its Night Clinic.

The Commons Law Center

They help with divorce, custody, and more, offering a sliding scale and limiting their work to those of “modest means.” Their “most affordable option” is pay-as-you-go legal coaching, with NO sign-up fee, retainer, or monthly fee.

They offer free legal guides with various links including a Discovery Notice.

I am an Oregon and Washington state lawyer who added law as a career to find an additional way to help people, particularly those marginalized. I value integrity, connection, compassion, kindness, adventure, courage, a willingness to make mistakes, and playfulness. I want to live, and to help others to live, a rich, full, and meaningful life. May you find my sharing of resources of use.
