About

I focus my practice on family law litigation, especially cases involving closely held businesses and high-net worth individuals, as well as complex custody cases.  As a prior Director of Education for the American Society of Pension Actuaries and a Series 7 licensed securities broker, I have considerable business and financial expertise that is unusual among family law practitioners.  My education includes post-graduate work at The Wharton School, focusing on employee benefits. I am a past Certified Employee Benefits Specialist through the ASPA, and a past licensed Life Insurance agent.  I have also successfully litigated some of the most challenging and emotionally charged family law cases in the state, including international move-away cases, allegations of child abuse and parental alienation.  I have appeared in Los Angeles and Atlanta, as well as throughout Oregon and southern Washington.  My husband and I have fostered several children through both DHS and OYA, and we have adopted two children.

Jaye Wickham Taylor is an exceptional lawyer for divorce and child custody needs who has earned my professional recommendation -- and personal gratitude -- through more than two years of extensive, successful work together. Jaye truly excels as a trial attorney in court, where her preparation, experience, wisdom and ability to blend the art and science of family law sets her apart from her local peers. Jaye understands the real world, which enables her to confidently make in-the-moment judgment calls in the courtroom that can be the difference between success or disappointment. And, she has connections and insights that are invaluable. Experience matters and it translates into skillfulness at trial. Certainly the positive outcome Jaye secured for our family was due in large part to her knowledge of the judges, attorneys, expert witnesses, mediators and others in local legal circles. Jaye has a no-nonsense approach and a direct communication style. Jaye's pragmatic, unafraid to tell it like it is; she'll say when she thinks you're being unreasonable. Jaye is very matter of fact and doesn’t sugarcoat things. She is serious, sometimes sarcastic, without being insensitive. Some might describe her brand of legal counsel as tough love, and so she may not be an ideal fit for every personality. You'll forge a relationship with your divorce attorney that requires exposing your emotions, vulnerabilities, financial details and many of the other most intimate aspects of your life, so you want to feel comfortable with them on a personal level. I do and we've worked well together by communicating clearly and candidly, maybe bluntly at times. Jaye provides a very personal level of service, and her work ethic is incredible. She supported me in taking an active role in asking questions, understanding my options and contributing to strategy. She's skilled at knowing when to encourage her clients to consider another point of view, yet also when to support their wishes to the best of her ability. Not every case calls for a trial attorney, but when it does you want the best. You want someone who understands your situation and is willing to invest the effort it takes to get the details right, and fully educate you when you're uninformed. Jaye helps clients see beyond the emotions of the moment. She'll help you anticipate factors you would not have considered otherwise. Jaye has been a critically important legal counselor, and a trusted adviser in every sense.

I met with Jaye when in need of guidance for legal reasons. Her approach from a legal standpoint was outstanding. Moreso her compassionate as well as professional approach to my problems were above and beyond what I expected. I was not just a client. Her selection of a great assistant was perfect as well. In short my experience was great and I will recommend Jaye to any who needs her help. Ken

When I first Met Jaye W. Taylor she was glowing with her knowledge and confidence as she was a lady I found to be very intelligent. Jaye W. Taylor is the attorney I want in my corner as her knowledge and abilities shine when it comes to the law and how things will happen! I feel I could never have picked an attorney better than Jaye W. Taylor and I am proud to be one of the many I know will recommend Jaye as she is a very fantastic lady!

I hired Jaye in 2011 to help me through a divorce. She gave me solid advice. Represented me with dignity and fairness. She even gave me grace when I didn't understand, being I'd never been through a divorce before. I would highly recommend her and her team! When I later had to modify my parenting plan, I hired her associate Taylor L. Murdoch. He was recommended to me by Jaye. As she suggested Taylor was a great representation of the firm! I am so thankful for the work they have done and the outcome was so much better than I ever could have expected!
