Leskin Law's One Day Divorce Mediation - Portland, OR

Innovative Divorce Mediation in Sullivan's Gulch

Leskin Law's One Day Divorce Mediation is a specialized legal practice located in the Sullivan's Gulch neighborhood of Northeast Portland. Founded by attorney and mediator Steven Leskin, the firm has revolutionized the dissolution process with its signature One Day Divorce program. This innovative approach is designed for couples who wish to resolve their marriage issues efficiently, affordably, and without the hostility of a traditional courtroom battle. Steven Leskin, a seasoned attorney with over 20 years of experience, developed this model to provide a clear, flat-fee alternative to the unpredictable costs of litigation. The firm's philosophy is rooted in the belief that even in separation, couples can reach a fair agreement with dignity and respect.

The One Day Process

The firm's entire practice revolves around a streamlined mediation process that settles cases in record time.

• One Day Mediation: A structured, binding mediation session where parties resolve all issues-custody, support, and asset division-in a single day.
• Pre-Decree Mediation: Assisting couples who have not yet filed for divorce to reach a settlement agreement that can be filed with the court as an uncontested judgment.
• Binding Arbitration: If parties cannot agree on a specific issue during mediation, Steven Leskin acts as an arbitrator to make a final, binding decision, ensuring the process doesn't stall.
• Document Preparation: The firm handles all the necessary paperwork, from the initial petition to the final General Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage.

Transparent and Affordable

One of the primary advantages of Leskin Law is its fixed-fee pricing structure. Clients know exactly how much their divorce will cost upfront, eliminating the fear of billable hours and spiraling legal fees. This transparency allows couples to preserve their financial resources for their post-divorce lives. Steven Leskin acts as a neutral facilitator, guiding the conversation to ensure both parties feel heard and that the final agreement complies with Oregon law. The process is entirely confidential and typically takes place in the firm's comfortable offices, avoiding the public nature of court proceedings.

"We turn a process that usually takes months or years into a single day of focused problem-solving."

The firm's approach is ideal for couples who have a general idea of how they want to separate but need professional guidance to work out the details. By combining mediation and arbitration, Leskin Law guarantees a resolution, allowing clients to close this chapter of their lives and move forward quickly.
