Dedicated Child Representation and Family Law in Sellwood
Faber Family Law is a specialized family law practice located in the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood of Portland. Founded in 2009 by attorney Sandra (Sandy) M. Faber, the firm is driven by a passion for protecting the most vulnerable members of the family unit: the children. Sandy Faber brings a unique background to her practice, having externed for the Honorable Susan Svetkey and clerked for the Juvenile Rights Project. This experience has shaped her focus on child representation and parenting coordination. Unlike general divorce attorneys, Sandy often steps into the role of attorney for the child, giving young people a voice in the legal proceedings that affect their lives. The firm’s mission is to help high-conflict families find a peaceful path forward, prioritizing the emotional well-being of children over aggressive litigation tactics.
