"Myah is very aware that clients are coming to see her at perhaps the most emotionally taxing period in their lives. She strives to make sure that her client is informed about all of the options, both legal and personal. For Myah, the goal is helping the client move forward with their life." - Chris Bergstrom

Myah Osher is the practice's founding member and managing attorney. Although born and raised in California, she is a true Oregonian at heart. After graduating from college at the University of California at Santa Cruz, Ms. Osher moved up to Oregon and began law school at Willamette University in Salem. Ms. Osher now lives in the Portland area and cannot imagine living anywhere else.
Prior to and during law school, Ms. Osher worked for various law practices. Throughout this work, she was afforded many opportunities to draft pleadings, including an appellate brief. During her last year of law school, Ms. Osher also worked for Willamette University's Clinical Law Program, in which she tried real cases and argued successfully at the Court of Appeals for the State of Oregon. Following law school, Ms. Osher worked at Multnomah County Courthouse for a year and a half. During the first year, she was a Family Law Facilitator and Clerk. This position allowed Ms. Osher to help pro se litigants prepare and file their own pleadings and advised them on court procedures. Her last six months working at the courthouse, she was promoted to the title of Judicial Clerk and worked in the courtroom with all ten of the family law judges in Multnomah County.
After working with many clients who could not afford the high cost of litigation, Ms. Osher developed a strong commitment to providing affordable legal services to people in their time of need. While working at the courthouse, she was limited in the advice and help should could provide, which was the inspiration for her opening her own practice.
The firm offers expanded services such as collaborative law, document review and pro se assistance, in addition to full representation.
