Brandon Riffel
Divorce & Family Law Attorney
A dedicated and compassionate Portland divorce attorney, Brandon Riffel, is an unwavering advocate and powerful ally for husbands and fathers facing divorce, custody, and other family law issues. His dedication to his clients reassures them and instills confidence in his abilities.
Brandon’s reputation for integrity and empathy makes him a sought-after supporter of families in difficult times. He combines his extensive legal expertise, a wealth of knowledge that ensures his clients feel secure and in good hands, with a personalized approach to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Before transitioning to family law full-time, Brandon served as a district attorney for multiple counties in Oregon, prosecuting crimes ranging from misdemeanors to major offenses. His first-hand experience with divorce is a significant part of what draws him to the field.
“I am driven to family law because having gone through a divorce recently, I realized how stressful it can be for the client,” he says. “I want to do everything I can to reduce that stress on my clients.”
Brandon received bachelor's degrees in economics and political science from the University of Kansas. He followed this achievement by earning his MA in the same field from Syracuse University. From there, he remained on campus and embarked on his legal journey, earning his Juris Doctor from the Syracuse University School of Law.
An avid sports enthusiast, when he’s not actively consuming any live sporting event he can find on TV, Brandon and his mother are on a quest to visit every major league baseball park. At present, they’re roughly halfway there.
I highly recommend attorney Brandon Riffel of Goldberg Jones-Divorce for Men. I was not happy with my previous attorney’s progression during the first 9 months of my child custody case. I decided to contact Goldberg Jones-Divorce for Men and setup a consultation with Colin Amos. Colin Amos pointed out the mistakes that my attorney and I had made that got me the outcome I received at the time and explained the next steps that I needed to take immediately before it got worse. Colin Amos spoke very highly of Brandon Riffel and assigned him to my case.
I went from being allowed one 3 hour supervised visit a week with my 3 kids, at my expense, to getting joint custody with a majority of the parenting time. I understand that all cases are different, but Brandon Riffel made all this happen in a 3 ½ month span. My coworkers, family and friends could not believe the complete 180 my child custody case went right after retaining Brandon Riffel. I am very grateful that Brandon Riffel was assigned to my case.
Brandon Riffel represented me in a very complicated family law case involving a stalking order. Brandon was thoughtful, knowledgeable about the law and considerate of my time. He was efficient with his professional services. Brandon explained the laws pertaining to my case in a way that I was able to fully understand and when I had reservations about the approach that was being taken, Brandon explained why we should follow his direction.
This turned out to be great advice and probably was what won our case! Brandon was timely and appropriate with all of his attorney-client communications. He followed up on emails and phone calls promptly. When it came time for the hearing, Brandon managed the whole event and was smart, professional and competent. Nobody wants to be involved in these distressing cases, but if you find yourself in need of an excellent family law attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend Brandon. I was grateful to have Brandon Riffel in my corner during this very difficult time.
