About
I have been an attorney providing strong and compassionate representation to my clients for over 25 years. I am licensed in Oregon, Washington, Utah and Hawaii, so chances are that if you need an attorney out west, I can help. My primary practice areas are Divorce/Family Law, Criminal Defense, DUII and Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Although I am a former Deputy DA, most of my experience has been in private practice. I served on the Oregon Child Support Guidelines Review Committee in 2011-2012, chaired the Oregon State Bar Family Law Section 2013 Annual Conference, continue to serve on the Oregon State Bar Family Law Section Executive Committee, and have served on the Oregon State Bar Client Security Fund. I am married with three children, am an active member in my parish, and am a licensed private pilot.

I met Chris Eggert through a referral from my EAP, while I was still reeling from the shock that divorce had been introduced into my life. He answered his own telephone and asked about my wellbeing first before proceeding onto business. He told me up-front that there would be more expensive lawyers who couldn't guarantee a different outcome, but that he would bring value in addition to his expertise. He said he would be candid in his interpretations of the issues and the anticipated legal response to each argument, even when those were difficult for me to hear. He told me he would organize all of the information I sent him and only spend time/money reviewing documents to the extent that they became pertinent. He kept his word on those components across-the-board. He encouraged me to remain reasonable without giving into irrational demands or making emotional reactions that might have sabotaged my own case. I know I benefited from Chris Eggert’s representation, but more importantly, so did my children in the settlement that we reached with my coparent.
I have been in a parental/custody dispute with my son's Dad. Things started to escalate quite a bit and I called around to several attorneys. I found Chris and instantly felt like I had someone who would be competent, caring and timely. That's exactly what happened. I've had attorneys before, for various reasons. I've experienced poor communication, drawn out cases, and arrogant attitudes. Not Chris. He stayed on top of everything and was all about a quick resolution, whereas the other parties' attorneys just wanted billable hours. I honestly believe that if I had not hired Chris, I would be battling this case for years to come. Instead, we are only a few months in and today, we officially ended this battle with the results being in my favor. If I find myself here again, Chris is the first call I'm making!
I retained Chris to represent my friend in a DUI case after the court-appointed attorney refused to try to negotiate a plea deal. Chris was able to negotiate a much lesser sentence and my friend was able to keep his job while serving his time under work release. During this time, his ex-wife filed an emergency custody order against him and even though my friend couldn't get an attorney on such short notice, Chris stepped in to help out. We're all very appreciative of his efforts.
My divorce was complicated, going back to 2005 and involving attorneys in 3 states. I've been working with Mr. Eggert for five years now and can say with 100% certainty that if you are able to enlist him to advise and represent you, and you follow his advice, then your life (and your kids) is going to improve. Chris approaches things differently than i would - always for the better! He understands the dynamics of family law like a layman cannot, so I learned to simply follow his every bit of advice. First class individual!! Thank you Chris.
My daughter was going through a traumatic split up with the father of her children. I contacted Chris' office blindly, not living in the state my daughter does, nor knowing anyone who practices in her state. We were looking for full custody and the ability for them to relocate to my daughter's home state, which we understood going in that the likelihood of them relocating was very slim. Although it was a long and drawn out process, as we all know child custody matters can be, I am so pleased to say we finally received a resolution that was the best possible outcome possible. I will forever be grateful to Chris and his paralegal for not giving up and continuing to fight for us. My grandchildren and daughter now will have opportunities that never would have been afforded to them had they stayed where they were. I highly recommend them.
A parent’s worst nightmare is for their child to be in harm’s way in any manner, shape or form. Being in the minority of child custody cases as a father fighting for full custody of my daughter, I came to Mr. Eggert amongst many other attorneys with my case. Determined yet unnerved for the safety of my daughter I was adamant about finding a lawyer I could ingrain my full confidence into. From my numerous inquiries, Mr. Eggert stood out among all having what many attorneys lack, charisma and compassion underlined with compelling assurance for my conviction. Shortly after working with Mr. Eggert I was granted emergency custody of my daughter and returned her home to safety. In the months thereafter Mr. Eggert worked attentively and diligently to finalize the case in my position, paying close attention to every detail and responding with quick action. I would recommend this attorney with the utmost degree to anyone with any case especially that of Family Law.
During my time of severe stress and pressure he kept stability and clear thinking in presenting my options for legal avenues. The outcome was as I had hoped!
Mr. Eggert was a tremendous blessing to me in this awkward, and somewhat difficult time in my life. He made the process of my chapter 7 filing as painless as possible. He was very knowledgeable and helped me to understand everything that I needed to. He stayed on top of everything, dealt with my creditors for me, and was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had throughout the process. He and his staff made me feel very comfortable the whole time.
My experience working with Christopher Eggert was a great one. It was a difficult time in my life, going through a divorce. He made the experience much more tolerable. He was very easy to communicate with, get in contact with & understand. He provided me with good practical advice & has my best interests in mind. I would definately hire him for other matters that would require an attorney.
Did really nothing told me to hire a $3k custody evaluator on top of a rolling bill. Received nothing and barely will get to see my kids. Made sure I could pay my bill yet never made sure anything talked about was dealt with. Other 1 star review nailed it on the head. Probably should've looked here first. Oh well at least my ex and he got paid. Meanwhile I get nothing other than debt and screwed.
