In my observation, Mark Cottle’s approach as an attorney in high-conflict situations was concerning. I would expect a legal professional to encourage resolution and de-escalate tension. Instead, his tactics appeared to escalate conflict unnecessarily, making an already challenging situation even moredifficult to navigate. While I was not Mr. Cottle’s direct client, my observations are based on his role in a case I was directly involved in. The impact of an attorney’s approach extends beyond their client, particularly in high-conflict family matters where their decisions can significantly influence the process and outcomes for everyone involved. For those navigating complex legal challenges, I would encourage seeking someone who prioritizes constructive outcomes and fair advocacy. Unfortunately, I did not see these qualities reflected in his work. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Mr. Cottle has faced disciplinary actions in Oregon, including: 2013 Suspension: Temporarily losing his license to practice law. 2015 Suspension Stayed with Probation: His license was at risk, but the suspension was held while his conduct was monitored.

Mark did a great job helping me take care of my divorce. Very matter of fact and doesn't waste your money on idle chit chat.

We hired Mark Cottle to help us with our child custody case. He reassured us and sounded like he was going to fight for us and get things taken care. We retained him and could not reach him for weeks. Then after weeks of not being able to contact him- his assistant contacted us saying Mark was sick with Covid. We understood but he didn’t push our court hearings back because of that so instead just didn’t show up to our court hearings as our representative for our case. Because of that we lost by failure to show and lost 30,000$. He used my exact email to email the other sides attorney, didn’t change one word so I might as well have been representing myself. He did absolutely nothing for us at all and was so hard to get in contact with. We had to settlement because he wasn’t fighting for us in anyway or giving any legal advice or helping our situation at all. I do not recommend him at all. Theirs way better family law attorneys who actually care and will fight for you like they’re being payed to do.

My family was very impressed with their professionalism, expertise and compassion during a difficult time. I would highly recommend this firm for all family estate matters.

We came to Oregon Family Law with some questions and concerns about some documents drawn up for us by at a different law firm. Our experience with Attorney Lee Gilgan was top notch. He was clearly very knowledgeable but didn't talk to us in legal jargon. He patiently explained the things we needed to know to help us make the best decisions. Super happy with our experience with Oregon Family Law!

Any time day or night these guys are available. I value Mark’s tenacity and drive, and have no doubt the other staff here are as great. Highly recommend.

This attourney's advocacy for family reflects archaic family values that are not in the child's best interest. Notice most of his 5 star reviews are 10 years old... archaic, outdated family values that our society has progressed beyond.

Kayla at Oregon Family Law was amazing. She handled my family law case. She takes her cases very seriously and cares. The parenting plan she drew up was a work of art. Look no further, guys, she's your lawyer. Thanks for everything, Oregon Family Law!

Mr. Cottle and his team at Oregon Family Law have provided me with over 10 years of professional and superior service. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the initial consultation to the resolution of my case, every aspect of their service has been exceptional. Mr. Cottle demonstrated expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, providing clear and concise explanations of the legal complexities involved. His communication was prompt, transparent, and reassuring. Not only did Mr. Cottle deliver outstanding results, but he as well as the entire Oregon Family Law office treated me with respect and supported me throughout the entire process. I am incredibly grateful for their excellent service and continue to use them today.

I had the pleasure of working with Lee Gilgan from Oregon Family Law on a complex business law matter, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the initial consultation to the resolution of the case, Lee demonstrated an exceptional understanding of business law intricacies and provided clear, strategic guidance every step of the way. Their professionalism, a customer centered approach, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best outcome for their clients truly set them apart. I highly recommend Lee Gilgan to anyone in need of expert legal representation for their business.

Repeatedly didn’t remember who I was, and then when I offered to throw money at him to just help me get this over with, he reiterated that he takes SO many calls each day that I’d be better off on my own. This isn’t an attorney worth your time, especially if you’re in any sort of crisis.

Highly recommend being represented by Kayla Paulsen!
