James A. Palmer’s, Attorney and Law, Extensive Background

Since 1975, Mr. Palmer has been serving the public by representing them in court and resolving legal matters. Before this family-centered attorney became what he is today, he first studied at the University of Oregon, in Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, History, and other subjects of the social sciences, to develop a broad background for service to clients.

Mr. Palmer then, over years of practice, gained experience and a preference for family law as a practice area. Part of what strengthened Mr. Palmer’s experience and skill in family law was his involvement in juvenile defense cases early in his career. Mr. Palmer developed a passion for legal family matters that pertain to parent-child ties, and has advocated for clients at all levels of the Oregon courts, including the Supreme Court of Oregon.

If there is one piece of advice he can give to the general public, it would be to address their legal concerns with a lawyer, because he knows how daunting it is to go to court without an attorney to represent them. It is increasingly common to talk with people who have gone to court believing they would “just tell their story, and it would come out fine.” However, that is a naive and dangerous misunderstanding of our system, and can easily result in very poor outcomes. Talk to a lawyer first, and have a direct talk about why legal help is necessary.
