She did an exceptional job handling my case. The moment I consulted with her, I knew my case was in great hands! I went through divorced and Mindy was recommended by a co-worker. She was very professional, consistent, and communicates effectively and efficiently. I didn't know anything about the divorce process and she walked me through it with so much knowledge and patience. She made me feel at ease each time we communicated and by the 3rd month, the judge signed the papers without any issues. I cannot thank her enough for lifting the stress off of me in dealing with the divorce. I am forever grateful.
Ms. Stannard had to jump into my long running family law case with very short notice, to replace my retiring attorney, and she became quickly versed in the case's history, various personalities and the needs of my child. Ms. Stannard communicated effectively with me, opposing counsel and the Court to achieve my desires at our Hearing. Ms. Stannard possesses an excellent mix of frankness, empathy and follow through in every interaction I had with her. I will continue to work with her on my case and highly recommend her to others.
This was my second time going through a case involving custody and parenting time. Mindy was able to provide me with a much better experience than my previous attorney, and was very communicative throughout the entire process. As others have mentioned, she is straight to the point and won't beat around the bush. She will tell you what's realistic and what to expect. If you are looking for an attorney that is going to get things done and keep you informed along the way, I would recommend Mindy.
In what would come to be the darkest days of my life, a true hero came into my world. That hero is my lawyer, Mindy Stannard. Ms. Stannard was referred to me by a dear friend. I sat my shaky self down to meet Mindy Stannard; wondering how on earth I was going to survive what would turn out to be a nightmarish divorce. I knew within minutes of meeting this calm, composed and brilliant Attorney that she was everything that I needed to get through this. Mindy Stannard will be my attorney forever, as far as I’m concerned. Her strategies, her creativity, and her tenacious drive to prevail- coupled with her deep concern that I was awarded the equitable settlement that my children and I needed and deserved, far exceeded all of my expectations as to what my outcome would look like. This was a complicated division of assets. Many moving parts. My ex husband had several attorneys working very hard to see to it that I received almost nothing from our 23 year marriage, our lovely home, our large farm, 22 acres of timber and the very successful business that he and I started together. Totally undaunted, Mindy Stannard fought tooth and nail for me. Mindy assembled a team of the most respected business appraisers, lawyers that specialize in business, farm and timber values, and so much more. Within mere weeks of hiring Ms. Stannard, she secured a generous monthly spousal support for me. I could breathe again! In the end, I was indeed awarded every penny that I deserved and had worked for, for half of my life. A fair 50/50 division of assets! Pretty amazing, considering that Oregon is NOT a comunity property state! She saved me. Kept me calm. Helped me find my center of balance again. Made it so I could move forward in my life, once again. I’m eternally grateful to this legal dynamo.
I hired Mindy for my custody and child support. She was with me from the beginning until the end (even for modification). She is there for your best interest but at the same time she doesn't beat around the bush. What do I mean? Well, She doesn't sugar coat anything meaning if your request doesn't make sense she will let you know and give her expert legal opinion. She is very respectful towards other attorneys but makes her point. She answers your questions and concerns as soon as possible. You will not be disappointed if you hire her. I am happy with the outcome of my case.
Mindy is an exceptional attorney always looking out for her clients' interest. For me it was a big relief that she was not overbearing and did not pressure me into any kind of a decision through a very difficult time in my life. She supported me the way I wanted to be supported - always gave careful consideration to my questions, advised me on pros and cons but let me decide the future course of action.
I came to Mindy Stannard with a complex case involving several states with differing laws regarding recognition of same-sex marriage before it became nationally recognized. Mindy provided excellent advice and representation with professionalism, compassion, and expert knowledge and care. She was attentive to deadlines and needs of the case, and kept me updated and on track with helpful reminders of when documents were needed without overwhelming me with unnecessary worry. I have utmost confidence in her abilities and could not be more pleased with the results of the case. I would recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice and representation in family law.
Mindy was incredibly supportive, informative and thorough throughout my entire custody process. I appreciated her ability to see several sides, give me a clear answer on possible outcomes and support my concerns in such a difficult time in my life. She is also very efficient and utilizes the time wisely in getting tasks done. Highly recommended.
Mindy was amazing to work with. She told me what I needed to hear even when it was not what I wanted my outcome to be and I am eternally greatful for that. It always feels odd saying you recommend a divorce attorney however when you know what you have to go through I would recommend Mindy to anyone without hesitation. She is professional and responsive and honest. No doubt the best.
I could not be more grateful for Mindy's advice and assistance in drafting, negotiating and filing my divorce settlement. There can be few more traumatic life events than a divorce, especially where children are involved... Mindy's deep subject knowledge and straightforward, practical assessment of the legal situation and the options available to me at each stage (together with the costs, benefits and risks associated with each) allowed me to step aside from the heartache and focus on what was truly important - creating the best possible arrangement for everyone's future well-being. I was particularly appreciative of Mindy's strong bias towards a negotiated settlement, at the same time knowing that she would be a superb advocate for me at trial, had that come to pass.
