Portland, OR family law attorney Megan Gilmore talks about the most rewarding aspect of her practice and why she became a lawyer. She finds the most rewarding aspect of practicing family law in guiding people through one of the most difficult transitions of their lives. Dissolving a relationship or breaking up a family is never easy, but she values the opportunity to help clients reach the light at the end of the tunnel and obtain the best possible resolution for themselves and their families.

Her interest in family law stems from both her professional and personal strengths. She enjoys multitasking, and the dynamic nature of family law means that every day presents a new challenge. After exploring general legal practice, she chose to focus on family law because it allowed her to concentrate on issues that directly affect children.

She is particularly committed to crafting parenting plans that serve the best interests of children. For her, the practice is about ensuring that children are adequately supported, safe, and able to maintain stability and happiness following the dissolution of a relationship or marriage.
