McLain Legal Services PC

"The McLain Legal Services team walked me through the very difficult process of divorce with professionalism and compassion. Andy and his team communicated regularly throughout the process and I felt confident they were taking care of matters with my best interest at heart."

"Are you tired of paying hundreds of dollars an hour only to do people's jobs for them? Are you sick of the general incompetence and mediocrity that is so prevalent now? Are you looking for an attorney who will want what's best for you rather than what will get them the most money? If so, you need Andy McLain and his firm. After hiring a big law firm downtown who filed the wrong paperwork and was charging thousands of dollars doing absolutely nothing of value, while I was losing weight and hair and feeling my anxiety go up by the day, we switched to Andy. Even though we hired him right he was about to go on vacation, after which his dad passed and he had a lot on his plate, he still managed to get the other party to settle within 2 months. TWO MONTHS. The previous lawyer did nothing in SIX. Will Andy tell you you can get everything you want? No. Will he take the situation of both parties in consideration? Yes. Does he know a lot of attorneys in town and will likely know how to work with the specific one your co-parent chose? Also yes. He was firm but respectful every step of the way, knows the law, and will do everything so that both parties are satisfied with the final solution. Divorce and custody will never be perfect if one parent decides to file papers rather than communicate. But they'll be as good as they can get with Andy's help. As an aside, with every visit to his stunning SW Portland office, every staff member seemed extremely happy to work for him. Highly recommended."

"It's hard for me to overstate my endorsement of Andy, Caitlin, and the other folks at McLain Legal. I can't say that I enjoyed the process; it was a long and arduous slog. It was expensive. But Andy and Caitlin and their staff took what became a very challenging and hard fought legal battle by the horns and wrestled win after win out of awful situations. They did this with their high degree of legal proficiency, with long-view strategy, by understanding my position and opinions, and importantly, by always placing my kids first in all respects. My life now bears little resemblance to what it looked like when I first called Andy five years ago. My kids are in great shape, they see both of their parents regularly, both parents are building new lives with new partners. Being reasonable is now the norm, but it wouldn't have been, had Andy and Caitlin and their team not been there to help establish a new normal. I give this business my strongest endorsement."

"I was referred to Andrew McLain by another of his colleagues. I ended up with a very competent and experienced attorney. Andy and his team really worked well together to help me with my case, and with very reasonable rates. I appreciated his advice and ultimately he helped me get the result I had hoped for. Would definitely recommend McLain Legal to anyone needing their services."

"I was extremely grateful to have Andy and his family law team on my side while dealing with a very messy, unpleasant divorce. He had my back and I felt safer knowing that he was looking out for me. He explained the legal process and was attentive to all of my many questions. He got me excellent results and I was able to get a fresh start and a new life. He is confident, smart, strategic and thoughtful in everything he does. I will always recommend Andy McLain to my friends and family if they need a family law attorney."
