Chelsea Armstrong came highly recommended related to a matter of my wife being owed an unpaid judgment. In an effort to evade payment, the person that owed the judgement resorted to legally harassing us instead. Chelsea stepped in immediately, was proactive, communicated extremely well, was rock solid on follow-through, was highly accurate in her work and legal assessment, took up the matter in a hearing that she initiated, and was very effective in shutting down the nonsense. I could not have asked for more. I highly recommend Chelsea and will no doubt be seeking her good help again.

Chelsea is compassionate and empathetic to parents in custody battles. She looks at the individual circumstances of each divorce and knows when it is appropriate to ask for more or less than the default parenting plan. She has a calm demeanor that is so necessary during a stressful divorce. She really listens to her client’s concerns. She is highly experienced and smart. I would choose Chelsea 100 times over to represent me and my child. She cares about children.

Chelsea Armstrong was my attorney for close to three years and in that time she helped me immensely. I went through a very nasty divorce that was fueled by a bitter ex. Along the entire process which eventually led to the Oregon Court of Appeals, Chelsea was great. She was very informative of our odds of winning at every stage. She was able to educate me on the case and give me great advice. At each junction I was the one making the ultimate decision with the help of her legal expertise.
Quite often in a bitter divorce case it feels so traumatic and devastating to your life, in that aspect Chelsea was outstanding as well. I would talk to her and every time would feel better, and if I just followed her directions and did as she said I would be fine in the end. My ex had an attorney that just tried to do everything the old school way which inflates the cost. Chelsea really tried to keep the costs down as much as possible by thinking outside the box. I truly believe that you are so much more than just a case number to her. In such a negative climate which divorce can be, Chelsea was the only bright spot and I would give her the highest recommendation possible. I also forgot to mention that we won at every level, and that she always out maneuvered the three attorneys that the ex used. I was so fortunate to have found Chelsea!

Chelsea represented my son during a protracted custody battle. She was responsive to his needs and helped resolve some difficult issues. I would highly recommend her to others who need such representation.

I retained Chelsea after my ex husband sued me for custody of my children. Chelsea was very professional when handling my case, and was very forthcoming and honest with me on her opinion of the outcome as well as the laws that effected my case. Whether she realized it or not, this was very reassuring and gave me confidence as we ended up going to trial (And WON!) I would highly recommend her and if the need arises I will seek her as my legal counsel again.

After speaking with a few attorneys to take on my divorce case, I chose Chelsea because I felt she did not just tell me what I wanted to hear (others did) and I trusted that she was setting realistic expectations concerning the outcome of my divorce. I was not disappointed. She handled the entire process professionally and continually made efforts to work with the other party's attorney to come up with a quick, fair settlement. Unfortunately, the other party's attorney had a more contentious approach and seemingly delayed the end of the divorce as long as possible to the benefit of his client. Through this process, Chelsea did an amazing job of answering my questions, keeping me informed, and calming my anxiety.
In my case, the expectations that Chelsea set in the first meetings with her were very close to the actual outcome. It would have been nice to have worked with counsel on the opposing side that was as experienced and knowledgeable as her, that was setting the same realistic expectations with his client so that a collaborative, quick settlement could be reached. When it became apparent that was not the case, Chelsea did not hesitate to "play hardball" and made efforts to expedite the process where she could. Settlement in my divorce was reached after a settlement conference where I believe the judge was able to effectively reset my ex-wife's expectations of an outcome.
Ultimately, I am very satisfied with the legal services I received from Chelsea. I rated her "Good" in the "Responsive" category instead of "Excellent" only because there were a couple of times while Chelsea was on vacation where it was a little difficult to get questions answered in the same amount of time that I was accustomed to with her. At the time, that was a little stressful for me. Looking back, it is more likely that I was being impatient in those instances and that she would have responded sooner if it was an urgent matter. Either way, I highly recommend her services if you need them. Good luck!

Very pleased with the service I received in three different cases and current case. Never missed lead and always knew what to expect going into a case. Highly recommend Chelsea and her firm to anyone needing the very best representation.
