Elizabeth Christy Law Firm PLLC

Sticks was the worst experience of my life and I did not feel clean if I tell you the worse experience I would spend hours writing

She pays money to have google delete negative reviews. Don’t trust the rating…

They have several very unprofessional staff members. Paralegal Phillip Wenzel has acted very unprofessionally in the past.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Elizabeth and Austin. Austin and Elizabeth where responsive, compassionate, and definitely know their stuff when it comes to family law. I would highly recommend these two ladies for representation.

I was referred to Mindy Stannard from my previous lawyer who was retiring, and, although I was nervous about switching in the middle of a very complicated case, I could not be more impressed with Mindy’s professionalism, legal expertise, and compassion. She has a thorough understanding of Oregon family law and provided honest and realistic expectations. My case was particularly sensitive due to my ex’s behavior and safety concerns around my two small children, and Mindy consistently maintained professionalism and was respectfully assertive when necessary. I highly recommend Mindy to anyone needing family law services, particularly those dealing with a volatile ex-spouse.

Fantastic service, extremely professional and attentive. Associate Mindy Stannard, walked me through the details and process of filing for divorce, offered excellent guidance and provided prompt responses to any questions I had. Highly recommend the services provided by her and the team at Elizabeth Christy Law Firm in Portland.

Erin Morris is an incredible family law attorney and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Erin has a unique blend of thoughtfulness, intellect and grit. She deeply understands and listens to you as a client during what is one of the most difficult times in your life, all while maintaining a level and firm approach with the other side. She’s a savvy negotiator who understands the ins and outs of this process and will put her all into your case with your needs and goals at the forefront of her strategy.

When I saw the impending demise of my marriage I talked to two lawyers. I chose Austin because I saw passion for restoring justice in the difficulties of it. During three years of this process, Austin was human and fierce whenever the circumstances called for it, was quick to respond and always connected with me, the client. Austin was diligent by consistently providing the different scenarios for every choice made. Austin placed my child's welfare first. Austin walked on my shoes and took my place. In a world of cold law, Austin showed empathy in moments of stress and was straightforward and diligent when needed. Finally, Austin provided a fair outcome that protected us all in the ending of a marriage. I recommend Austin wholeheartedly.

I highly recommend Erin Morris; she made me feel so safe and taken care of during a difficult time. She is very knowledgeable, and I trust her immensely.

I have known Elizabeth Christy for many years as a colleague in the Vancouver Legal Community. She is without doubt one of the best family attorneys in this area and is the person to whom I refer my clients if they need family law advice or representation. She is knowledgable , caring, does a wonderful job for her clients and has a an excellent reputation in the Vancouver and Portland legal communities. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Erin K. Morris As soon as I met Erin in the first meeting, I felt instantly connected and knew she will do anything to protect me & kids and get me what is legally & rightfully mine. I had a different attorney from a different firm before Erin who just could not handle manipulation or give me results. But Erin understood & catch up the case all so quickly when I hired her and handled everything very smartly. She is a very warm person who actually really cares about you and the case and not just say things how some other attorneys do. She is highly experienced in all kinds of divorce cases. Erin is a super talented attorney that you surely need by your side whether to be an amicable divorce or a difficult one. For me, unfortunately, it was with a very difficult spouse and Erin's following traits and skills just made the process efficient, workable, less expensive, results-oriented for me. She really fought for me till the end with the same spirit and in a timely way. *Able to handle a manipulative spouse and hence a manipulating opposing counsel. *Able to push back opposing counsel who bring in unnecessary demands, issues which can make your legal bills go high. She kept everything in control. In my case opposing counsel billed my spouse a lot and had client control issues too. So whatever issue my spouse wanted to raise was just brought in to my attorney which were going to raise my bills but Erin controlled it from the start and got straight to the point. *Very tactful with the opposing counsel. She knew where to say what. And she knew how to handle some issues with politeness but sometimes being strict and firm and taking a stand, all to benefit me and make my life easy. *She really understood my case, what I want & was on her toes. *No unnecessary billing. *She will try to settle the case so as it does not go to trial and for you not to pay a huge trial fee. But if your spouse really wants to take the case to Trial then she will fight strongly for you. In my case how much we tried to avoid, we were there in front of the judge many times due to my spouse being adamant to go to the judge, and Erin fought well in court, mediation conference you name it. *Highly professional ways of either responding to emails, meeting you, or even returning your calls on weekends if urgent. *Follow up the matter even if you have forgotten about it. *She is the voice for you in the court, she is very professional, respectful in court but will say what is needed to fight for you & protect you. *Her emails are clear, concise & detailed if you need her legal advice. She made the legal language for me very easy as family law is not my professional background *She advised me differently to legally protect me if I was thinking something which will not be good for me. She got my back at each & every way of the divorce process. *She is so thorough in her work and legal advice and knows it all very well. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for all her services. And highly recommend her to anyone.

I've worked with Jennifer for two years now, and she has been direct, firm, and realistic about the legal issues I'm facing, at the same time as being compassionate and generous personally. She exhibits a wonderful balance of professionalism and personability, handles billing issues with grace, and is a genuinely likeable person, who I'm glad to have met despite the circumstances. So far, the outcomes of my case have been better than I hoped they would be, but even if they hadn't, I would have had no doubt at all that Jennifer had done a thorough job, nor would I have any doubts that she genuinely cares about my case. The whole experience has raised my trust in legal system in general, and given me a level of hope for my son and his situation that I did not have before. In addition to Jennifer, I had previously consulted with Mindy Stannard, and though it was a brief interaction, it was also very positive, and she exhibited a similarly high level of professionalism and personability, realism and compassion. The fact that both of these attorneys are at Elizabeth Christy speaks volumes to me about the character of the firm as a whole. Not only do I highly recommend them, but I have enough trust in them to say that if you have had a negative experience with them, you would be doing yourself a service to take serious stock of your own actions and perspective rather than finding fault with theirs.

Jen Peckham is the attorney you need on your side! She responded quickly to my issues regarding filing for emergency custody. Jen's experience, good judgement, and great communication eased many of my concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

I had a wonderful experience with Mindy and the staff at Elizabeth Christy Law Firm. Mindy was always available to help me and replied quickly. She kept me calm and helped me work through some very difficult situations during my divorce. The other staff members, particularly Victor and Patrick, were fast with replies and incredibly helpful when I needed help from them. I would recommend Mindy for anyone who wants to keep their divorce calm, equitable, and peaceable but thorough.

I highly recommend Jennifer Peckham. She is a great family law attorney. She is very knowledgeable and provided me with really valuable advice. I loved having her by my side during my divorce and contempt motion. I was really nervous going through the divorce process and she was very patient and compassionate with me. I don’t think I would have had the outcome and strength to go through this if it wasn’t for her. I am so grateful for having Jennifer Peckman by my side during one of the most difficult transitions of my life. If I ever need an attorney again she will be the one I hire. She is the best!!!!

When I most needed someone to have my back, Jennifer Peckham was a true blessing. She is a straight-shooter and her compassion is second to none. Jennifer did an amazing job of laying out all the options and helping me see both the short- and long-term benefits of each. She was genuinely concerned about my relationship with my children and she helped me stand up straighter and fight when all I felt was gutted. Although Jennifer is worth her weight in gold, she did not nickle and dime me to death. My gratitude is endless and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for competent advocate willing to fight hard with grace and dignity.

Mindy Stannard is beyond outstanding. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable but she is a true advocate for her clients and their best interests. I highly recommend her for any divorce and/or family law needs.
