Marshal brings more than thirty‑five years of experience guiding clients through divorce, custody, and the complex challenges of family law. He pairs deep legal knowledge with energetic advocacy, sound judgment, and a creative, solutions‑oriented approach. Clients consistently describe him as a genuine, straightforward advocate who connects easily with people from all walks of life and works effectively with attorneys, mediators, and judges alike. Marshal strongly believes that the best outcomes are often achieved outside the courtroom, reserving trial for situations where it is truly necessary.
For most of his career—more than three decades—Marshal has proudly called Gevurtz Menashe home. He values the opportunity to collaborate with a highly skilled and experienced team and is deeply committed to ensuring that every client benefits from the collective strength, insight, and support of the firm.
Outside the office, Marshal is “born to run” as a lifelong Bruce Springsteen fan. His greatest joy comes from time with his three adult children and young grandchildren, as well as the blended family he shares with his wife and adult stepdaughters. Together, they enjoy an active life centered on community volunteer work, sports, theater, and all the things that make Oregon such a special place to live. Marshal is also frequently invited to speak about his experience as a living kidney donor—an experience he finds both humbling and deeply meaningful.
