Our Featured Cases

The law doesn't stand still and neither do we. As lawyers, we don't just practice the law, but have had an active role in creating and shaping the principles of family law in Oregon for over the past 40 years. Because of our deep roots in Oregon's legal community, our lawyers have proposed new laws to the Oregon Legislature, and regularly appear and testify regarding different laws proposed to be enacted. In addition, we have handled many of the most important Oregon Court of Appeals and Supreme Court family law cases in Oregon. Below is a sampling of cases handled by Gevurtz Menashe lawyers and a brief summary of the impact each case has had on the state of the law.
