What Other Lawyers Say

---

"I have worked with Gil for many years and have always had the utmost respect for him.  Over the span of my career, Gil has always been my first call if I needed help with a complex legal issue.  I have worked with Gil as opposing counsel and as a mediator.  His many years of litigating divorce cases gives him particularly helpful insight into the issues that arise in mediation and allow him to offer creative solutions.  I highly recommend Gil as a mediator or reference judge."  

"I have worked with Gil for over 15 years, both in contested litigation matters as opposing counsel and through using his services as a reference judge and mediator. You simply cannot find a lawyer with a greater breadth of legal knowledge than Gil. He is extremely nuanced in his understanding of all issues of divorce law, but particularly property division, spousal support, and complex matters such as dividing businesses, trusts, tax impacts, and other topics. 

His history as a litigator in the courtroom allows him to use all facets of a divorce proceeding to get to the heart of any issue effectively and, in many cases, to create value by identifying ways to divide assets or structure settlements that maximize the benefit to both parties. I endorse Gil’s work as a reference judge and mediator in any dissolution of marriage matter." 

 "Gil Feibleman is one of the strongest and most organized mediators I have had the pleasure of working with.  Gil comes in prepared and ready to get the case settled.  His pragmatism is invaluable in emotionally charged situations and he is skilled at keeping the momentum forward moving even in complex matters.  He listens to the issues, but does not allow parties or attorneys to wallow.  If asked, Gil will offer his opinions on cases as well, which often helps clients in making these significant decisions about their finances and their kids.  I highly recommend Gil if you want to get your case resolved." 

Gil is an excellent choice as a mediator or as a reference judge. His knowledge of the law experience and professionalism go a long way to helping cases get resolved. Moreover, in his words he is “more of an 80s kind of judge”, which is a good thing in that he will let you know what he is thinking, where he stands, what needs to be done, without hiding the ball, which ultimately helps the parties resolve their case and better assess their positions. He is a good and fair practitioner with an expert’s view and understanding of the law. He is good with scheduling and making sure that cases move forward and issues get addressed without dealing with the time consuming formalities of court.”

"I have known Judge Feibleman for several decades in the capacity of opposing counsel, educator, reference judge and mediator.  He has always demonstrated professionalism, high ethical standards and detailed knowledge of the case and the law to be applied.  His practical knowledge from his decades ‘in the trenches’ has served him well as a Judge and as a Mediator.  As a reference judge he is skilled in moving the case along knowing that the party’s want resolution without conflict and hopefully without the expense of preparing for trial. As a mediator, he brings wisdom and practical solutions without twisting arms to help the parties come to resolution and without throwing the attorneys under the bus for educating their clients in unreasonable expectations.

He is always available, timely and responsive to the questions and concerns of the attorneys.  A very nice change from working Judges in the ‘system’.

"I had my first mediation with Gil recently and quickly learned that not only is he a brilliant lawyer, he is a highly effective mediator.  I have hired Gil before to consult with me on thorny legal issues.  Gil brought his legal expertise and skill to his role as a mediator.  Gil was highly prepared for the mediation and was familiar with the submissions and the pleadings.  I was extremely impressed with Gil's mediation style and with his ability to be present for the parties.  Gil's command of the law assisted the parties to quickly resolve the more technical legal issues.  By remaining empathetic and managing the parties' emotions, Gil then facilitated a resolution of some very challenging parenting time issues.  My client complimented Gil on his approach and left the mediation relieved and grateful.  I am very pleased to have Gil mediating cases in Oregon.  Our community is lucky to have Gil as a resource.’.

 "I have used Gil’s services as a reference judge on several cases where I needed a judge that is “certifiably knowledgeable” regarding divorce law, particularly in high asset cases where you do not want to deal with the court’s slow docket, the “luck of the draw” judge assigned the case, problematic opposing attorney, etc. Gil was always available to take a call from both lawyers to resolve a discovery or other interim issue without the necessity of filing all of the paperwork, motions, etc. that would have been required had the case stayed in the court’s system. He also made scheduling a top priority on his calendar. I highly recommend him". 

" I consider Gil to be one of the best divorce lawyers in Oregon. He is smart and practical. He has the rare ability to analyze complex issues and make them simple to understand. For many years Gil has mentored other lawyers through participation in the Family Law Listserv, where he shares his experience and advice with the rest of us. He has spoken at numerous law conferences over the years. Gil has made a significant contribution to the quality of the practice of Family Law that has impacted people for the better all across the state. If you want it done right, hire Gil Feibleman."

 "Mr. Feibleman is a premier family law and divorce attorney. "Par Excellance" for professionalism, competency, honesty and reliability, as well as courtesy to colleagues and clients. Mr. Feibleman sets the standard to which others strive to achieve."
