Welcome to Peace-Making!
Whether you are in need of legal representation or consultation, mediation with someone who understands the community legal standard of fairness, or if you just want to experience more connection in your relationships, Peace-Making is the place for you.
At Peace-Making, we want what’s best for you and your children. Sometimes this means filing for divorce, sometimes this means mediation process, and sometimes it can mean transforming your relationship. We offer three services to meet your specific needs: Family Law, Transformative Mediation, and the Peace-Making Course.
The founder of Peace-Making, Steven Allen Smith, has been practicing family law in Portland since 1974. He is an avid student of Marshall Rosenberg’s “Non-Violent Communication” (NVC), a technique that has been used by world leaders to negotiate the most difficult peace treaties.
