divorce attorney portlandAn effective, passionate attorney, John Alarcon is a strong advocate for his clients and an invaluable resource for the husbands and fathers of the Portland area in divorce, custody, and other family law matters.

Discussing what draws him to family law, John says, “It has such a human element we all can relate to, and having gone through a divorce myself, I feel a close, special kinship with domestic relations.”

John knows firsthand the pitfalls men face going through the process of a divorce or child custody case. He seeks to help them through what is so often a difficult, trying time and to reach the best possible resolution.

A practiced, compassionate professional, John strives to be candid and upfront with those he represents while putting their needs at the center of his approach to a case.

John spent five years as a Judicial Clerk for the Multnomah County Circuit Court. This gives him a unique, behind-the-scenes insight into a judge’s mindset, which is instrumental in preparing his clients for court and for developing a litigation strategy.

Talking about John, managing attorney, Colin Amos, says, “John is a sharp, personable attorney with excellent communication skills. Clients meet him and know right away that they’re in great hands.”

An Oregon native, John received his BS in political science from Oregon State University in Corvallis. Following that accomplishment, he earned his Juris Doctor from the Marquette University Law School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

When he’s not fighting for the rights of his clients, John enjoys hiking and exploring the great outdoors, spending time with his family and their pets, and recording music at home. He also volunteers his legal expertise with a local non-profit.
