About

I have made helping people through difficult circumstances my life's work. I have over 20 years experience helping families wrap up a loved ones final affairs, whether through probate, trust administration, a small estate, or accessing transfer-on-death assets.My awareness of complicated family situations helps me assist people in creating workable estate plans and in navigating the probate process. I also enjoy helping people obtain a fresh financial start through bankruptcy.I began my legal career prosecuting domestic assaults in the Clatsop County District Attorney's Office. Using my litigation experience, I opened and ran my own family law and bankruptcy practice in Astoria for 11 years. In 2010, I helped found a nonprofit organization that provides volunteer advocates for foster children. I served as the first executive director for Columbia County's Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program until 2013.From 2013 to present, I have practice law in the Portland metropolitan area, handling a variety of matters.

I hired Kathryn and her team to help me with going through probate for my Father's estate after he passed. From the first time we met for a consultation Kathryn and her team were very professional and friendly. They made me feel comfortable going through a difficult time and process. I would definitely recommend them.

I worked with Kathryn Bourn and Stephanie Evans on my Chapter 13 bankruptcy. They were both great to work with. They made stress free and seamless during the entire process. I highly recommend Kathryn.

Kathryn not only helped me "come out whole" from a divorce, but in the process also referred me to people who are helping me make my own way in the future and who all are as professional and nice as she is! I'm glad I found her and you will be too. And by the way, everyone I have met at Gresham Family & Bankruptcy Law are welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful and nice!

I would recommend Kathryn for divorce, child support and custody legal services to anyone needing them. Kathryn was a calm and rational focal point for me during a very turbulent time in my life. Her legal expertise, thoughtful nature and straight-forward approach saved me money, (and my sanity!) and allowed my child and I to move forward with our lives. Life isn't always perfect, but it was very reassuring knowing I had Kathryn in my corner to navigate me through the scary and sometimes emotionally difficult process of divorce and child custody.
