Meyer & Wyse LLP

I have provided quality mediation services as part of my law practice for the past 25 years.  Most of my mediation work is family and divorce oriented, and I have now handled well over 1500 cases.  I have taught and written extensively about mediation and family law, and continue to bring new ideas to my practice.  I was the winner of the Oregon Mediation Association's annual Award for Excellence in 2000.  Beginning in 2006, Portland Monthly magazine has named me annually as one of the top 10 alternative dispute resolution lawyers practicing in Portland.  I was their only pick for Family Law Mediator in 2007 and 2008.  I have been selected as an Oregon Superlawyer" (top 5% of Oregon lawyers) by my peers in every year since 2006 as well.

My main goal in mediation is to create a safe environment in which my clients can discuss their differences in a rational and confidential manner. My hope is that we will find solutions which will be far superior to those achieved through litigation.  I believe disputants should be knowledgeable about their rights and responsibilities under Oregon law.  I provide legal information for my clients so that they understand the norms of Oregon law. 

To find out more about my approach to mediation, I suggest you browse the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) section of this website.  For even more detail, you can go to the Family Law Mediation Chapter I wrote, which is the standard article in Oregon which describes family mediation for attorneys. 

I am always happy to discuss mediation with prospective clients and other attorneys.  Please call or contact me to explore how I can help.
