Jeff helped me get through my divorce and custody issues. He was very upfront with what to expect. Even when I was a little impatient and/or frustrated, Jeff reassured me things were getting done. I am pleased with my choice when I became a client of Jeff's. Thanks again for all your hard work.

I would like to say with sincere appreciation of the way Jeffrey Traylor handled my divorce chid custody case. My ex husband and I had been separated for a year, I was recieving no child support, my two teenagers live with me full time and we were truly struggling on my 1 income. I thought we could legally get the divorce done by going through mediation, because everyone told me it was cheaper than hiring an attorney, but I soon learned it was much better to be represented in this type of situation. And that's when I called the Oregon State Bar. Prior to me finding Jeff, the OSB referred me to a couple other attorneys who were either too expensive or didn't seem like they cared much about my situation. I met with Jeffrey. I was immediatley impressed and knew he could help me and he took payments and I didn't have to fork out thousands of dollars up front. Jeffrey is very smart about the work he does and he cares a lot about his cients and his business. I have recommended Jeffrey Traylor to my friends and family. I knew I made the right choice and I was very happy he took on my case and represented me in court in a short period of time. Jeffrey is very professional and personable and client oriented and you can tell he puts in 100% and is determined to earn your business through his hard work and dedication. I was very pleased by the outcome of my divorce case and it showed by his extra efforts. I am now dealing with a different kind of legal matter and I have retained Jeff again as my attorney. Thank you Jeffrey Traylor for your hard work and earning my business back. You truly are one of the best attorneys I know.

Mr. Traylor is a shining example of what a person would seek during a difficult time in their life for legal services. He is professional, uses good sense in his decision-making, and the most legally moral individual you will likely meet. Communication is bar none better than I could have expected. I can't say enough about how well he handled my case and what an utter pleasure it was to have someone like him working with me. All decisions made were presented to me, did not overstep his capacity as my attorney, and would look out for my best interest, always. His years of experience and ability to navigate through this process gave me confidence in my case. If you are looking for a very reputable, genuine, and all-around supportive individual, I would highly recommend Mr. Traylor.

I cannot speak highly enough or recommend strongly enough Jeffery Trailer as an attorney. I hired Jeff to address a very difficult and complexed custody situation. This process took nearly a year before it got in front of a judge, in a two-day trial. I would not wish this process on anyone, let alone doing it on your own. Jeff was an absolute professional from day one! He is empathetic and very understanding to the emotional stress people are burdened with during this time. He is very reassuring, transparent and helps educate you along as your legal progress unravels. Jeff was always upfront regarding possible out-comes in court and how your situation would relate to the legal proceedings. He does not waste your time or his time while representing you and your legal needs. His staff was very prompt to communicate and informative regarding deadlines and information required throughout my legal situation. (pre, during, and post-trial) Jeff’s ability in the court room during the actual trial, is truly amazing to witness. His ability to navigate procedural law with opposing counsel, witnesses, and the Judge was beyond astonishing! When you hire Jeff to represent you, sit back and let him do his job. You will not be disappointed. My specific case involved a custody review regarding the other parent wanting to leave the area. This was not something to be taken lightly and required a very astute understanding of the law and procedure required to render a decision that would benefit the child and his relationship to both parents. Jeff carried himself with dignity throughout the entire process, especially in his performance during trial. Jeff has a personality indicative to the perfection of his craft as a practicing family law attorney. He makes no promises other than to do his very best on your behalf and its relation to the law. This was made clear from my first consult. Hiring Jeff to represent me was the best decision I could have done. He is driven, personable, and result oriented and carries himself with a high level of professionalism.

I hired Jeff in the face of a nasty divorce and the unexpectedly combative approach of my ex-wife. I was taken by surprise by what turned out to be a well-orchestrated plan. It began with a restraining order served on me at the work place followed quickly by a series of revelations that she had manipulated utility accounts and other financial transactions in an attempt to demonstrate claims to a share of my home that I fully owned outright prior to our marriage. She made unreasonable demands for alimony despite only two years of marriage, no children, and that she had her own roughly equal earning history during the marriage. The service of the restraining order in front of my colleagues left me humiliated, heartbroken to realize instantly that our marriage was over, confused, scared, hurt and angry. Bottom line: I was freaking out and needed advice. Over a period of two days, I met three different lawyers – Jeff was the last. The first two wouldn’t and/or couldn’t offer me any practical advice, or a sense that they would be the person committed to being on my side and helping me navigate the path ahead. Jeff was real and I felt I could communicate with him easily. In the first meeting he helped me understand what was going on and offered advice on the best way to proceed. More importantly, he inspired confidence that he could and would navigate this nightmare with me. After I engaged him, he immediately assigned a series of practical tasks that would safeguard my financial interests that later proved extremely useful in bringing about a negotiated settlement. I only had to go to court once to contest the restraining order. I initially was emotionally distraught and thus disinclined to contest the RO because I had no intention of making further contact with my ex. Jeff, however, after some consideration and research, recommended that we contest the order. The day of the court case, I was a panicked when I saw the array of “witnesses” that my ex-wife had brought to trial. However, Jeff reassured me. What unfolded was watching an artist create a masterpiece. He knew what to do, how to do it and how to help keep me calm during the whole ordeal. I was like a duck on a pond; calm on top, going a mile a minute underneath. I was so devastated by the lies made under oath! After more than two hours into our three-hour allotted total time, I was increasingly frightened that I would lose. But Jeff kept me calm. When it was finally his turn to cross examine my ex-wife, ten minutes in Jeff discredited her testimony and showed that the legal requirements for issuing the RO had not been met. He then turned to the judged, moved for dismissal, the judge agreed, and then lectured the opposing attorney of her failure to prove her case. Bottom line: I was out of the courtroom with the restraining order dropped. Jeff’s cross examination was the masterpiece and I had won. The rest of the divorce process took what seemed like a long time. But compared to the experiences of others it really was only 14 months from start to finish with both parties signing a settlement without going to trial for the divorce. My advice: don’t expect a divorce to be a short endeavor, especially when your ex holds any kind of animosity. Jeff is smart, quick and little cocky but not overly so, and surly not disrespectful. For me, it was just the right combination of the qualities you would want for your divorce lawyer. The practice could improve its communications with clients given busy attorney schedules, I felt in limbo at times. This would help reassure clients when waiting on the other side, which can be very nerve-wracking. Emails, text message or check-ins every few weeks would help ease client anxiety. Jeff is fair priced and worth his money tenfold. Thank you so much Jeff! M

Mr. Traylor was very professional in his handling of my parenting time case. He was compassionate in what my children were going through. He listened objectively, provided top notch advice to settle this case within 6 months after dealing with it with 2 different attorney's for 2 years. I would highly recommend him. He advocates for what what is best for the children involved. Thank you Jeff.

I hired Mr. Traylor last year, around March 2018. I came in full prepared for my custody case (parenting time was the biggest issue), he was professional and empathetic to my situation. I, as a client, was over-bearing, control oriented, and probably not the easiest to convince everything would be fine. Even though court was pushed out for about a year and he had a few cards against him with the judge running the other side, he made sure everything that needed to be said was clear with conviction. He was an outstanding person to have in my corner and to help settle my family’s concerns (they are a tough bunch). I could not be happier with our outcome! As a mother, I would like to say thank you, you are a large part that we now sit in our wonderful new life, in South Carolina. The stress of unknowns is finally behind us. I really couldn’t put a price on what I would have paid for this feeling of relief and happiness that my child is safe and has wonderful opportunities ahead of her. I would recommend Mr. Taylor and will be using his services again if needed.

I engaged Mr. Traylor to resolve a matter with a long term partner. I was very pleased with Mr. Traylor's expertise and I appreciated him being realistic with me about my options. Many times in the legal arena, you can choose to pay more money to fight something but you are not guaranteed a positive outcome. He was upfront about everything and at no time did I feel like he was just out to take my money. I felt he truly cared about me and wanted the best outcome for my situation. And ultimately, we achieved the best outcome for me and I am now able to move forward with my life. Thankfully, everything was settled out of court which I also attribute to Mr. Traylor's expertise and knowledge of the law. I would definitely recommend him to others!

Jeff took over our case from another attorney in town and it seemed like it was guaranteed to go to court. He was able to re-start negotiations, act in a very professional manner, and ultimately solve the issues at hand. Another great aspect was that his rates and retainers were very competitive compared to other attorneys in the area and a bargain for the great service.

As a mother, I would like to say thank you, you are a large part that we now sit in our wonderful new life, in South Carolina. The stress of unknowns is finally behind us. I really couldn’t put a price on what I would have paid for this feeling of relief and happiness that my child is safe and has wonderful opportunities ahead of her. I would recommend Mr. Taylor and will be using his services again if needed.

I engaged Mr. Traylor to resolve a matter with a long term partner. I was very pleased with Mr. Traylor's expertise and I appreciated him being realistic with me about my options. Many times in the legal arena, you can choose to pay more money to fight something but you are not guaranteed a positive outcome. He was upfront about everything and at no time did I feel like he was just out to take my money. I felt he truly cared about me and wanted the best outcome for my situation. And ultimately, we achieved the best outcome for me and I am now able to move forward with my life. Thankfully, everything was settled out of court which I also attribute to Mr. Traylor's expertise and knowledge of the law. I would definitely recommend him to others!

Jeff took over our case from another attorney in town and it seemed like it was guaranteed to go to court. He was able to re-start negotiations, act in a very professional manner, and ultimately solve the issues at hand. Another great aspect was that his rates and retainers were very competitive compared to other attorneys in the area and a bargain for the great service.
