I came to Stephen after consultations with several other attorneys who just couldn't seem to wrap their brain around my case. Stephen helped me secure a settlement with all the stipulations I wanted, including full custody of my children, without the expense of taking our case before the judge. I have come back to him each time an issue has come up with my ex-wife, and I have always felt glad to have him on my side. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stephen to anyone undergoing a divorce, child support, or custody matter. He is excellent.

I live in Seattle and needed a trusted attorney in the State of Oregon. Mr. Bedor represented me on two difficult occasions and we won on both counts. Mr. Bedor showed high character and integrity. I would recommend him highly.

My experience with Stephen Bedor & his staff was very positive, kind and constructive considering the potential negativity of a divorce/custody proceeding. Stephen helped me seek solutions that protect the custody and well-being of my infant child, and his counsel afforded me the gift of having my life return to normal. Stephen guided me in finding common ground wherever appropriate, but was always on my side and prepared to aggressively litigate when necessary. Stephen acted as an advocate, guide and protector, during one of the most difficult times of my life.
If you need a hero, if you really need someone that will stand by you and do the absolute right thing, then, you need Stephen Bedor.

Stephen took over my child custody case after over a year with another Attorney. The Opposing Counsel had managed to have the case set back numerous times. Not only did Attorney Bedor take us to trial, but he gained more for me in the case than the previous Attorney I had retained and given me cause to believe I could win. He handled the case wonderfully, giving me reassurance when needed. I cannot express my gratitude enough for Stephen.
His staff was wonderful and kept the lines of communication open. They took every opportunity to make this case easier on me and my son. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone.

I initially came to Mr. Bedor with the expectation of finding a competent and qualified person to aggressively pursue my concerns regarding my divorce, including custody of my two children. Like anybody, I had hoped to find that combination of a Perry Mason and a Ben Matlock. My case had many difficulties and I was concerned that most attorneys would either view my situation as too difficult or give me false expectations in an effort to secure a retainer.
During my initial consultation Mr. Bedor listened to my concerns and asked direct questions as to what I expected. He explained my options clearly and his experience was immediately evident as he instantly drafted the required documentation and personally filed it the same day. My understanding about divorce was that it could be a lengthy and very costly process. Mr. Bedor provided options that allowed me to reduce my expenses without sacrificing my position. Mr. Bedor’s knowledge and familiarity of the process allowed him to expedite my case and thereby further reduce my expenses and stress during a most difficult point in my life. I felt that every person within his office was truly concerned with my situation and motivated to do everything possible to help. It was not uncommon to receive a call in the evening from Mr. Bedor as he was working on different aspects of my case. I truly felt that he took every opportunity to be as prepared as possible for my case.
Mr. Bedor took the time to explain each step of the process and to prepare me as to what I should expect next. While the points of law can be very confusing and frustrating, I was comfortable that Mr. Bedor was equipped to react in my best interest at all times. During trial his skill and professionalism continuously proved invaluable as he repeatedly made opposing counsel appear unprepared and out of place. I was able to feel confident that I had the best representation available. Mr. Bedor was able to follow through on each of my initial concerns and secure a judgment that provided the outcome that I had sought.
I would recommend Mr. Bedor without reservation for anyone who is facing a situation that can potentially change the rest of your life and the lives of your children.
He will competently and aggressively pursue your best interest at all times.

When I came to Stephen Bedor, I felt truly lost, having decided that divorce was the correct course of action for me, and for the sake of my 2 children. I had heard numerous horror stories of divorce and the seemingly unbearable situations that result for most modern day fathers. Stephen helped me gain peace of mind as he led me through a discussion of alternate outcomes that could ensue specific to my situation. I was able to develop an invaluable reference point in establishing what my life might become as a result of divorce.
Throughout the entire process the opposing litigator seemed intent on twisting facts and using tricks to compromise my rights as a parent. Stephen applied considerable expertise in maintaining focus during inter lawyer communication and court proceedings on the facts and my parental rights which helped to consolidate the final outcome which I considered to be very positive. It made me confident that I could continue to affect my parental role and a reasonable lifestyle for my children and me.
Nearing the end of my case Stephen cleverly addressed the subject of litigation fees to the judge at the very last moment which forced opposing counsel to reveal their hidden intentions. This could have cost me a lot of money if it weren't addressed properly and I praise him for looking out for my best interests to the very last word in what was a long and stressful court proceeding.
