After receiving his JD from the University of Oregon, Shawn Menashe went on to join his father in family law at Gevurtz Menashe Larson & Howe PC.

With a commitment to open communication, Shawn gives clients his full attention, every step of the way. His specialties are contempt, custody (third party), custody and parenting time, divorce, domestic partnerships, and postnuptial agreements.
Zach Fruchtengarten is someone who enjoys the challenge of complex property issues, researching and digging to make sure his clients get the best possible settlements. With a Masters in Business Administration, he is equally comfortable in matters of both law and business. There is more than just a financial side to Zach's family law work, though. He is also a compassionate advocate who counsels clients through the challenges of a divorce, no matter what the numbers say.

Multnomah County Courthouse, Room 208
Registration: $10.00
Judge Adrienne Nelson exudes confidence which was gained not so much by the position she achieved but by her good heart, her determination and some of the obstacles she endured to get there. She was appointed by Governor Kulongoski in 2006 to fill Judge Sidney Galton's vacant position on the Multnomah County Circuit Bench. Nelson's first job was with Standard Insurance Company, where she worked as a contract analyst and a compliance analyst. Two years later she went to work at the Metro Public Defenders Office. She worked there for two and one-half years and then joined the Bennett, Hartman, Morris & Kaplan law firm, where she practiced mostly family and labor law. She then accepted the position as Senior Attorney in Student Legal and Mediation Services at Portland State University. Since being appointed to the bench, most of her work has involved criminal trials, including felonies and misdemeanors. She will gradually begin sitting for criminal trials and then civil trials. Although some training was provided, she gets most of her help by reading various manuals and bench books.
