About

I have practiced family law in the Portland area (Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties) for over 28 years.  Raised in Portland, I graduated from Marshall High School, Warner Pacific University and Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College.  My first 27 years of practice were in SE Portland, and in 2021 I moved my practice to Wood Village to provide my clients with an improved client-focused experience.  I enjoy working with clients from both Portland and the surrounding communities, like Clackamas, Oregon City, Happy Valley, Milwaukie, Gladstone, Canby, Gresham, Wood Village, Troutdale, Damascus, and Sandy.   I realize that facing a family law case is intimidating, and sometimes downright frightening, especially if you have not been in that situation before.  You will serve your interests best by seeking appropriate legal counsel and information as early on in any family law situation as you can. Some of the most difficult cases I've encountered are those where a client comes to me after important hearings or deadlines have passed, and it is too late to completely salvage their case for them.  A lot of people don't know that you do not necessarily have to retain or commit to an attorney in order to meet with them and obtain legal advice and their professional opinion on your situation.  A very rewarding portion of my practice is meeting with family law litigants for one or a few times, to assist them with DIY filings, so that they have some important information and knowledge needed to make it through their case without having an attorney retained for the case.  I think it serves every potential client well to provide them with honest and up-front information about their case, and have often heard back from clients that the information they received early in a case changed the course of their lives for the better. That is the best "Thank You" I could hope to receive !

Lisa is professional in every way. Her self assurance, as well as her knowledge of the law, make her a dynamic attorney. Through her communication skills with clients and litigants she is able to instill confidence under difficult circumstances.

Lisa helped guide me through the divorce process. She was very courteous and understanding. With her help I was able to get through a very difficult time a lot easier. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs help with divorce proceedings.

I highly recommend Lisa for any family law case! She is committed, knowledgeable, thorough, professional and she cares! I appreciated her quality expertise and advice. Lisa’s office team was a pleasure to work with too.

I met with quite a few lawyers before I found Lisa, and I knew right away that she was the one that I trusted enough to work with during custody proceedings. She knows the law and the system so well, and she's so intelligent it's scary, but more than that, I knew right away that she was willing to go the extra mile for my kids if she needed to. She supported me and was such a huge help, and I know I couldn't have done it without her. I recommend her to anyone looking for a divorce/custody attorney. During one of the scariest periods of my life, she was solid and dependable and worked her butt off. Thanks, Lisa.

Lisa Naglins was a beacon of hope to my family over the most unnecessarily drawn out divorce and custody case imaginable. Her assuring and calm demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My family and I are eternally grateful for her services and would recommend Lisa without reservation.

I had a very difficult divorce and custody battle. I hired 2 "high dollar" divorce attorneys with fancy offices and several legal aids in tow to fight for my parenting rights and settle things. The first attorney actually stuttered while speaking to the judge in court and wasted thousands of dollars. The second attorney bragged that he was a judge in a different county but spent almost two years and $80,000 to settle my case with very little parenting time for me. During every visit to his office he had multiple interruptions and answered several longwinded phone calls while charging me $300/hr. My ex-wife decided to take my child and move to a location that was 2000 miles away. That is when I was fortunate enough to meet Lisa! She not only stopped my ex from moving to Ohio, she got me custody of my daughter and child support from my ex-wife. Lisa has her act together in court! She does everything to keep conflict to a minimum but fights hard when it is necessary! She will not waste your money and she is organized and so professional in front of a judge! Lisa is simply the best in town!

By far Lisa is the best Family Law Attorney in the northwest for i had interviewed 3 others before choosing Lisa to handle my case . Lisa is very confident which shows she knows exactly what she is doing. She knows the law and is calm in her approach always encouraging i to do the same . She knows her business well and never cowers to her competitor . She will fight for you , no matter how long the other team drags out . If she can handle my outrageous divorce she can handle any ! . Do not look any further , Call Lisa shes a great PERSON !

First off, Lisa is very humble, intelligent and a top notch negotiator. She is extremely cognitive of her clients needs and feelings based on experience both personal and professional. I would recommend Lisa and her team to anyone going through such an emotional time in their life. She has a win-win approach and attitude and is simply the BEST!! She knows how to bring high-priced attorney's to their knees.

I was lucky. I found Lisa by chance, at a time when my world had suddenly turned upside-down, and it looked like I needed a lawyer. Turns out, I really did. My divorce was a nightmarish roller-coaster ride which ended in a court trial. That’s not the way we would have had it. Lisa worked with my ex-spouse’s FIRST lawyer in mediation, endeavoring to dissolve our marriage and arrange custody of our daughter, as amicably and quickly as possible. For reasons I may never understand, my ex backed out of what could have been FOR HER, a very reasonable settlement. She hired a far more aggressive lawyer than her first, and off we went down a long and painful road. Lisa was my advocate through it all. She was always receptive to my input and desires, and I was always informed. For reasons other than a protracted divorce, I now know much more about lawyers than I did when I hired Lisa. The number one complaint clients have against lawyers, is not being informed about what’s happening. I’m still reluctant to say that anybody “won” in trial, since it was all so needless; but with Lisa, I did prevail. If you want an aggressive lawyer to be ruthless out of spite, Lisa might not be the right fit. If you need to protect yourself from an aggressive lawyer hired to be ruthless, Lisa is up for the challenge.
