Scott Leibenguth has practiced as a divorce lawyer based in Portland, Oregon for over 16 years. He will find the best approach for your situation; be it litigation, negotiation, mediation or another “outside the box” solution.
You need our insight! We have handled divorce cases involving multimillion-dollar assets. Many times we are able to uncover well-hidden assets as well. Many other law firms would turn those types of cases away. Not us. We are at your side regardless of the amount or complexity of your assets.
As a divorce mediation attorney Mr. Leibenguth emphasizes family law mediation, the representation of children, parenting coordination and divorce cases which include property rights, businesses, alimony, child and spousal support, child custody, parenting disputes and childrens’ rights. He has been trained and practices in the “collaborative law” process and issues related to estates, wills, trusts, and probate law.
He is a member of the ABA, MBA, OMA, ACR, AFCC, the Multnomah County Family Law Advisory Committee and the Oregon Academy of Family Law Practitioners. Mr. Leibenguth has appeared Pro Hac Vice in the State of Washington on the issue of grandparent’s custody rights.
He has been a speaker on the subjects of family law mediation, parenting coordination and representation of children and a speaker at the Oregon State Bar Annual Family Law Conference and for the National Business Institute.
He has served on the OSB executive committee, the MBA Judicial Screening Committee and the MBA Continuing Legal Education Committee. He is a Paul Harris Fellow and a former Director of the Gresham Rotary Club and Fairlawn Ethics Committee.
“I have dedicated my career to helping families escape from the despair and hardship family conflict inflicts on parents and their children. I can help.” -Scott Leibenguth.
There is an art to negotiating divorce settlements prior to litigation. With Scott Leibenguth as your divorce attorney, you can count on him to be your experienced and strategic negotiator, focused on your best interests. Settlements come from dealing with the important issues that need resolution in a fair, open and respectful manner. People who harbor angry or distrustful feelings toward the other person can stop negotiations in their tracks. In those situations, you need the insight and experience we bring in “high conflict” negotiation techniques to keep your case moving in a positive direction
We are truly committed to finding the least expensive way to resolve family differences. We wish to help you find the best solution for your family and encourage you to pursue mediation to save costs.
Mediation is faster and can, therefore, be the best option for you to get a cheap divorce. In addition to being faster, you may only pay one mediator’s fee rather than having each spouse hire their own divorce lawyer at $350 per hour. Even if one or both spouses want to hire their own divorce attorney, they can use that attorney more cost effectively following the divorce mediation process. It is very common for couples to save thousands of dollars through divorce mediation.
The Leibenguth Law family law office is located in down-town Portland Oregon.
