Stahancyk, Kent & Hook P.C.

Can't imagine using anyone else....and can't thank him enough. I worked through a very difficult 2-year divorce, which resulted in trial. The managed, responsible, respectable, strategic and caring approach Joel, his team and broader firm demonstrated throughout the process, was absolutely incredible. I have never felt so confident or safe in what was a very difficult situation. He was fair, honest and upstanding during every step, and held me to these same standards. Joel's approach was methodical, steady and determined, and the outcome reflected that. I can't thank him enough. I have extremely high regard for Joel as a professional, as well as being a great person and pillar in the community. Much thanks to Joel, his partners and great team for helping me move forward in the best possible way. Wish there was a ten-star option...he is that good.

I was referred to Joel and retained him the moment I met him. As a younger father that was served custody papers out of the blue, you could say I was very nervous. After one visit with Joel and his assistant Jessica I knew I had the best shot to settle things faster and less painfully. They were incredibly professional from the moment we started working together. At anytime I was able to contact one of them for any questions I had or advice one how to handle an interaction with my Ex. They value doing things with the least amount of conflict possible but also handle it in a direct manner. I am 25 years old with a 18 month old and have 50% parenting time, joint legal custody and no child support. There are very few attorneys that could help you accomplish this. Be completely transparent with Joel and Jessica and they will do everything in there power to help. I met with 5 or so attorneys before these guys and they were the most professional and motivated to keep the peace between both parties. I value that a lot since the only one who suffers from the conflict is your child. I would refer them to anyone I know. They treat you like family and care about your child’s quality of life, present and future.

For my divorce, I worked with Attorney Brent Wilkins. My friends and family recommended this firm as the best in Bend. They were correct. At the start, I was extremely worried about my future and the impact this would have on my family. This was a complicated divorce financially, with stock option valuations and retirement assets. Brent carefully listened to my worries, was very clear about the legal aspects involved, and brought in additional expertise (including Attorney Kent) when he believed it would be helpful. He responded to my calls and emails quickly, even when he had court dates and was in trial. He is very intelligent and does not miss details when looking through discovery. I had handed him a large financial mess to wade through... and he made sense of it. His suggestions, as we moved forward, took into account many aspects of future needs I had not anticipated. He was also kind and supportive throughout the process and understands the legal climate in Bend well. It has been six months since my divorce was finalized and I am incredibly grateful to have had Brent as my attorney.
