Mediator Matthew House, J.D.

Introduction: For people seeking divorce, I offer a friendly, quick, and inexpensive solutions. For less than one-fifth the cost of divorce attorneys, you get a mediator with a law degree who will work with both parties together to make decisions that complete the divorce and keep the family happy and financially stable. I specialize in working with families with school-age children, and I offer free meetings with kids and teens whose parents are divorcing. That way, kids' feedback is included in their parents' divorce decisions. To the best of my knowledge, I am the only mediator in Portland who does so. I invite you to put my 14 years of experience in family and divorce mediation to work for you and your family. I create a lighthearted environment that disarms tension. I focus on real issues, not getting bogged down in minutiae and unnecessary paperwork. I make sure my clients have a path to a stable financial future. If I can't, I don't take the case. I work with families who want to put their kids' interests first (but I also work with families who have adult kids or no kids). My favorite part of being a divorce mediator is working with the kids and teens of my clients -- which I always do at no charge. Also, I view clients as relationships, not just customers. One of my most rewarding experiences is when former clients or their children stop by during my open office hours just to say hello.
