Lisa Kenn, Attorney

Family law issues impact us at the heart of where we live – our relationships with our loved ones. Nobody ever plans for their family to break down, or break up. If it does, you may be at your most vulnerable. It is essential that you choose a lawyer with whom you feel comfortable, and who you trust.

My practice is exclusively focused on domestic relations, and I have extensive experience with all aspects of family law. There is no “one size fits all” solution for every family, and I will work carefully with you to help you reach solutions that will work best for you and your family. I guide and educate my clients about Oregon law, and offer legal advice based upon the application of that law to your case. I will not waste your time or money by suggesting a course of action that is not realistic, nor promise you an outcome that I do not believe is possible or practicable.

Experience & Education

I was awarded a Juris Doctor degree from Lewis & Clark Law School in 2014, and I have been licensed to practice law in Oregon since 2015. I have exclusively practiced family law since obtaining my license. Prior to launching my firm in 2018, I was an attorney at Kramer & Associates. While enrolled in Lewis and Clark Law School, I worked as a Special Deputy Prosecutor at Clark County (Washington) Prosecutor’s Office. I have been a Certified Oregon Mediator since 2004. I hold a B.A. in Political Theory from the University of Massachusetts/Amherst, from where I graduated magna cum laude, and a M.A. in Political Science from the University of California/ Berkeley.

Prior to becoming licensed as an attorney, I spent 20 years working in the non-profit sector in New York City and Portland, Oregon. I supervised at-risk volunteer youths performing community service, worked at an organization providing mental health services to low-income and indigent clients, and spent 11 years at Mercy Corps, where I was Managing Editor of Mercy Corps’ annual report.

In 2018, I was awarded the Michael E. Haglund Pro Bono Award by the Multnomah County Bar Association. You can read that article here. I was featured in an article about solo practitioners that appeared in the May 2020 Oregon State Bar Bulletin. You can read that article here.
