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 cannot recommend Brandon Riffel highly enough. We recently went to trial for a custody matter. His representation was nothing short of exceptional. Before the trial, he walked me through exactly what to expect, made sure I understood the legal procedures and every option available to me. In the court he was calculated and calm.
He went in with a plan and was able to adjust quickly when it was needed. There were so many times through the process up until then that I felt completely overwhelmed by all of it. Brandon Riffel has a way of making you feel calm and confident. He is a true professional of the highest caliber. The dedication he showed to my case was beyond anything I expected. He worked incredibly hard to ensure the best outcome. If your reading this and you aren't sure who you should move forward with i strongly recommend considering Brandon Riffel
In a day and age where men are still routinely treated differently than women in family law, I was able to get a 50/50 parenting plan, and my ex-wife is paying me spousal support and child support which I never expected to get. Brandon Riffel, my attorney with Goldberg Jones, was professional yet personal and he really helped me understand the proceedings and how to navigate my first, and only, divorce.
In a situation such as a divorce, fraught with anxiety and high emotions, Brandon kept me grounded when things flared up and gave me the exact guidance I needed to get what I deserved. I can't recommend this firm or Brandon personally enough. 5 stars is just a base number since they deserve 10. Thank you.

Words cannot express how incredible Brandon Riffel was during my divorce. He was there the entire way to walk me through every step of the process and help come up with a plan of action every time we hit roadblocks.

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.
