Divorce
We offer a range of family law services to clients in and around Hillsboro. Our experienced attorneys provide legal guidance in all facets of family law and divorce in Oregon, including...
Child Support
A dissolution of marriage, or a divorce as it’s more commonly referred to, is a means to end a marriage legally. During the divorce process, you will have to work with your partner to divide your property (assets and debts) and, if applicable, determine a plan for your children. For couples with children, you will need to determine who gets custody of the children and the visitation schedule for parents referred to as a parenting plan. Additionally, one parent may assume the financial responsibility for child support, health insurance, and medical bills for children.
Child Custody and Visitation
At Harris Velázquez Gibbens, we understand that when you are dealing with a divorce, separation, or child custody case, nothing is more important. If you are involved in a family law matter in Washington County, Oregon, give our office a call for a free initial consultation about your case.
Premarital Agreement
It’s not unusual for a couple to agree that the best next step for their family is to dissolve the marriage. In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on all of the related issues during the divorce process. A prenuptial agreement, or a premarital agreement, can help resolve how the couple will divide their property, assets, and debts. Even in an uncontested divorce, an attorney is beneficial to review and advise you on your agreements, any essential terms to include and to reduce your agreement into a final written document, known as a General Judgment of Dissolution.
Spousal Support
Spousal support (sometimes referred to as alimony) is a standard part of many Hillsboro divorce settlement agreements or final judgments. Spousal support must be requested in the pleadings to be awarded by the court. Spousal support is generally available to spouses who have more limited income or earning ability, due to a party being focused on supporting their spouse’s career or being out of the job market to stay home taking care of children. Women and men have equal rights when it comes to seeking financial stability after divorce.
Legal Separation
In Oregon, spousal support is awarded when, following legal separation or divorce, the court concludes that one spouse is unable to independently maintain the standard of living established during the marriage. How much is awarded (and for how long) will depend on factors related to each party’s need and ability to pay, which often makes it one of the most contentious issues during a divorce.
Child Abuse

Criminal Defense
When domestic violence calls are received, law enforcement officers perform on-the-spot evaluations, which sometimes result in improper arrests. In some cases, emotions that run high during domestic situations can make a loud argument seem like a serious crime. In other instances, police may have erred on the side of caution. In either event, you want to work with a Hillsboro criminal defense lawyer who knows how to get the best results in cases involving allegations of domestic violence.
DUI/DWI
When the injury is due to another party’s negligence or malice, such as a drunk driving accident, slip and fall on a wet floor, or physical attack, a Hillsboro traumatic brain injury lawyer can help you hold them accountable for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Wrongful Death
If you are not sure who is at fault for the accident, our wrongful death lawyers can launch an investigation and help you take steps to hold all liable parties responsible for your losses.
Traffic Violations
The Driver: The bus driver is liable if they committed a negligent act that caused the collision. Examples include speeding, driving while distracted, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Sex Crimes
Measure 11 is a referendum that was passed in 1994 as a way for Oregon to get “tough on crime.” It set mandatory minimum sentences for certain crimes in Oregon, including rape in the first degree, murder, assault in the first or second degree, robbery in the first or second degree, and other violent crimes. If you are convicted of a Measure 11 crime, you will likely be sentenced to a lengthy prison time with no credit for good time or programs.
Robbery
White Collar Crimes
Theft
Misdemeanors
Assault (felony): This offense applies when you deliberately or recklessly cause physical injury to another person using a deadly or dangerous weapon. You can also be charged with felony assault if you commit a misdemeanor assault in front of minor children or against someone you have been convicted of assaulting in the past.
Embezzlement
We had our monthly board meeting last night and there was a unanimous request for us to send you a thank you for the help with the ***** embezzlement we suffered. Your advice and guidance were spot on throughout the entire case. Your help was essential to the successful outcome.
Drug Crimes
Our law firm includes highly skilled Hillsboro criminal defense attorneys. Together, we have experience handling all types of charges, from DUII to domestic violence to property crimes to drug charges to violent felony crimes. For each case, we’ll work hard to secure your legal rights – and to fight for your freedom.
Assault
Murder
If you are convicted of a crime in Oregon, you may be sentenced to a term of incarceration. The specific sentence depends on what the charge is (felony versus misdemeanor) and the underlying facts of your case. For example, if you are charged with murder, you will typically be sentenced to a much longer prison term compared to a person who is accused of a crime against property.
Shoplifting
A criminal record can represent a lifetime of lost opportunities. You can be denied the job you worked so hard to qualify for because of that shoplifting conviction during leaner times. The school of your dreams could turn you down because of a single mistake that has never been repeated since. Is there anything you can do to rectify the situation?
Restraining Order
A restraining order that can force you out of your home and leave you unable to see your children

Personal Injury
If‌ ‌you‌ ‌slipped‌ ‌and‌ ‌fell‌ ‌due‌ ‌to‌ ‌dangerous‌ ‌conditions on someone else’s property, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible, as the owner may be liable if your injuries were caused by‌ ‌negligence. ‌At‌ Harris Velázquez Gibbens,‌ ‌we‌ ‌can‌: ‌
Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
The first thing you need to understand is that it’s probably not you. Most applications for Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Social Security Insurance (SSI) benefits are denied the first time, regardless of merit. You can – and should- try again. In fact, those who appeal their denial have a stronger chance of being approved, especially if they use a Social Security Disability Appeal attorney.
Dog Bites
Dog bites and dog attacks can cause blood loss, serious infection, deep puncture wounds, lacerations, scars, nerve damage, bone fractures, paralysis, and even death. Owners of vicious dogs can be held financially responsible for any injuries caused by their dogs. Victims of dog bites caused by negligent dog owners have the right to seek compensation for medical bills, expenses, trauma, disfigurement, disability, pain, and loss of quality of life. Dog bite losses exceed $1 billion per year, with over $300 million paid by homeowners insurance.
Slip and Fall Injury
Unfortunately,‌ ‌many property owners do not take the necessary precautions‌ ‌to‌ ‌prevent‌ ‌accidents. Every year, thousands of people suffer painful and long-lasting slip and fall injuries due to...
