Lillian handles a range of services, though supported me through my divorce proceedings and on follow-up legal matters. She is approachable and reliable, and works the legal process well. I would highly recommend her!!

Lillian and Stephanie were great to work with. They helped me navigate through the Chapter 13 process and were very understanding and accommodating.

Lillian and Stephanie were really just remarkable. Extremely flexible and professional and understanding. Made a difficult experience easy and stress free. Cannot recommend them enough.

Lillian Watson was my attorney for a chapter 13 bankruptcy which just closed. Her service was stellar. She not only knows the law, but explains it clearly to her client. She is unfailingly honest about the process and what to expect, and doesn't candy-coat it. She does this all with a compassion that I never expected, and I never doubted that she was in my court for the entire time. She responded promptly to any questions or concerns, and when a traumatic event happened during the 5 years, she helped guide me through the parts that were relevant to the bankruptcy. I will hire her again for any family law or estate planning needs in the future, and I strongly recommend her for anyone needing bankruptcy assistance.

I was served divorce papers after 10 years of separation. We both can not afford a lawyer and I was lost on what to expect on the court date. I retained Lillian on a hourly rate to help me prepare for my court date. She was very helpful on explaining what to expect and how I should represent myself. Thank you for your help.

Lillian was an angel in disguise, She helped my children and I when i felt like no one could help. I had a very messy and sad custody case and she was the rock we needed to get through it, very professional and also caring about the situation. She is amazing I would hire her again and when anyone asks what firm i went through I will always mention her. Thank you

I hired Lillian when my parenting plan needed an overhaul. She was able to get the job done, despite an incredibly uncooperative ex. She was patient and worked to get an agreement that was right for my daughter.

We came into her office without an appointment. She took time to see us anyway and was understanding, very helpful, responsive and kind in helping us. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, competent lawyer.

Best attorney in Portland surrounding areas. I hired Lillian in 2010 after a very complicated separation, I was with my Ex husband for 17yrs and had two boys with him, one whom had alot of medical issuses. All my money was tied up in treatment and prescriptions for my child. I was attempting to represent myself, while my ex had hired a high dollar attorney. I was forced at that point to hire an attorney. I was referred to Lillian by a co-worker who was going through her at that same time. The first time I meet Lillian, she sat with me and listened to my storry and looked through what I had, I had court in just a few days and was no where ready to face another lawyer. Lillian said to me " everything will be ok, we need to act fast" I explained that I had no money to give her and she took me on anyway, I made a promise I would give her something every month, and promised I would pay her as soon as I got settlement and more court came and where I could not. Finally 2 pluse years later she is paid in full. Where else could you turn to for help without a dime to your name, but rather a promise. Lillian is amazing, she is treated me like a daughter, she seen me through from mid mess to finsh! With the mess I had when I seen her I never thought in a million years it would turn out in my favor and it did! Her right hand Deanna is also wonderful, she coached me and mentored me through this all. I can't tell you how many times I would sit there and she would watch me cry and be there to pick me up. What team is all I have to say about this team!!!

If you need a practical and creative solution to a complicated legal problem (divorce) look no farther than Lillian Watson. She took the time to understand my situation (time and finances) and put together a solution that was effective and efficient avoiding expensive court proceedings while providing me with a favorable outcome. Legal brilliance, compassion and common sense are her trademarks. Gresham Family & Bankruptcy Law is a proven team of legal professionals worthy of one's consideration when in need of legal expertise. I recommend them without any reservation! Steve

Going through a divorce after 20 years of marriage is the most difficult trial I have gone through in my life and Lillian has helped me to make logical and not emotional decisions. She has been my logical side and every time that I walk in her office she and her assistant greet me with a smile...I trust that she has given me the best legal advice and things could not have turned out better without her. Thank you Lillian and Deanna

Lillian was hired to help guide me through the challenging legalities of post divorce issues with my ex. She has been my attorney for over a year. She listens very well to what I am saying, has an intuitive understanding of people and different personality types, and proceeds with tact and intelligence. She has excellent abilities in dealing with the "other side" attorneys, knowing when to legally respond and when not, while at the same time understanding that cost is an issue for me. With her extensive legal experience, she has been honest with me about whether something is a good idea or not and has been very reliable in guiding me how to proceed. In fact, not only did she suggest I file a contempt motion that we won, she also won me attorneys fees for a modification motion filed by my ex, and she suggested our parenting coordinator for our case who has been terriffic to work with. I definitely recommend Lillian to anyone needing an attorney.
