About

Divorce and/or child custody conflicts with your spouse or partner will be one of the more stressful experiences of your life. As your attorney, I will listen carefully to your concerns, and offer you practical and compassionate advise. I will work diligently to settle your case without subjecting you to needless litigation. However, if litigation becomes necessary, I will be your formidable courtroom advocate and ensure that you will not be bullied or taken advantage of by the other side. My philosophy is always to be honest and direct with my clients regarding the law and their options, and then finda way to achieve my clients' goals within the boundaries of the law. In addition to my regular legal work, I do volunteer work advocating for low-income children in divorce and custody matters, ensuring that their needs are paramount in any court-ordered custody and parenting plans. Early in my legal career, I worked as a prosecutor in Clark County, Washington. I have also worked as a volunteer mediator in Multnomah County Small Claims and Landlord/Tenant Courts.

I am so very fortunate to have found Lisa. She is just the real deal!! Knowledgeable, competent, funny and direct, she guided me through the most difficult situation I have ever experienced. Simply put Lisa is the best. I am eternally grateful to her and would contact her in a heartbeat if I ever find myself needing family law again, I have already given her name to a co-worker.

Lisa is a very caring lawyer she was there for me whenever I needed her. Lisa seem to know what to say when I was so depressed. She fought for me and never gave up. I could call her or text and she would answer me right away.

Lisa is very knowledge and caring. She has helped me with a delicate family situation more than she’ll ever know. I don’t t live in Oregon and she lead me to understand hiring an attorney was not in my best interest...twice. Although she gave me enough information to assist with a situation that turned out to be the best for us.

Nobody wants or plans to have to deal with the courts, but sometimes things happen in life and it becomes necessary to take legal action. I personally had a hard trying to represent myself in court and froze completely - I wish I would have had hired Lisa from the very start. Lisa is a genuine person, an amazing attorney and is truly the most honest attorney I have encountered. If you are looking for an attorney to actually HELP you and not just take your money, someone who will provide you with the support you need and be honest with you no matter what the circumstances may be (realistically), then Lisa is the one.

Breakups are complicated especially if there are children and property involved. You really don’t understand the emotional turmoil you will experience when you are threatened to have your children ripped from your life regardless of how good of a father you are to your children or a good partner to their mother. Lisa handled the custody negotiation for my son and the appeal to the eviction of my former partner. When I decided to hire Lisa I was in a serious legal disadvantage. Lisa always gave me a realistic view on how to approach my case. She was able to negotiate the removal of my former partner from my house and establish parenting schedule with my son. Lisa is able to see through the B.S. and focus on what was most important. Lisa saved my son’s home. I am very happy with her advice and her results in my case because she took into consideration what was in the best interest for my son, my long term goals for my financial wellbeing and my son’s sense of security. I should have hired Lisa before attempting representing myself in court. Call Lisa if you want an attorney to “give it to you straight”. Family court is complex and emotionally draining. Let Lisa handle it for you.

I don't have alot of experience with family law attorneys but Lisa has helped me tremendously, not only giving me the confidence to persue legal visitation with my daughter, but also helped guide me in decision making on how to go about doing so. She has guided me in every step of the way, making me feel very comfortable with every decision I have made. If I had to do it again I wouldn't have chosen any other attorney

I found Lisa Kenn, by looking up on line for a lawyer, knowing I was taking a chance. I found Lisa honest, down to earth, and willing to research the things she did not know, and most of all admit she did not have the answer, but would find it if at all possible.

Lisa helped me and my family through a very difficult and stressful divorce. Not only did she guide me through the legal process, but she also offered a level of emotional support and reassurance that was above and beyond the job description. Her communication style is direct and no-nonsense, which I really appreciated in working with her during a time that was otherwise extremely confusing and chaotic. She helped me understand the legal process and gain a broader perspective of the situation, and also showed a great deal of empathy for everyone involved.
