Portland, OR family law attorney Jessica Flint talks about the most rewarding aspect of her practice and her service to the community. She finds the most rewarding aspect of her practice is providing value to her clients during what is often the most challenging period of their lives. She focuses on helping them achieve the best possible position as they transition to the next stage of life, knowing that her representation has a lasting, positive impact on their future success and overall well-being. This sense of making a tangible difference is what initially drew her to family law—to help people and provide a meaningful, direct impact.
