Bankruptcy & Estate Planning Attorney in Portland, Oregon

Christopher J. Kane
Attorney at Law
My blue-collar roots ingrained in me the value of hard work. My first job was berry picking at the age of 14. Since then, I've kept my nose to the grindstone to get to where I am today. If you've fallen on tough times, turn to an attorney who has been in your shoes. I filed for bankruptcy in 1998, so I truly understand what you're going through. There were times when I wasn't sure how I would pay my rent or get through the next day. I'm here to show you that you're not alone and that you can get back on your feet. Let's work together to fight back against foreclosure, stop garnishment, or plan for the future of your estate.

From the moment you step into my office to the resolution of your case, I prioritize your comfort. If you have questions, ask away. If you have concerns, let me provide reassurance.

Focused on You
Creating an estate plan requires that your attorney gain a comprehensive understanding of you—your life, your goals, your vision for tomorrow. Giving you the chance to tell your story is imperative to helping you make the right choices for the distribution of your assets. Tell me about your loved ones, the path you took to get to where you are, and your concerns for the future. I'll take all of this into account as I help you create a tailor-made plan that meets your unique needs and aims to fulfill your wishes.

Chris Kane handled my bankruptcy with super efficient professionalism; I never had a question he couldn’t answer and competently guided me through the process, which otherwise could have been very nerve-racking. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone thinking of filing.
David C., Portland
I come from a background where folks always pay their debts, so I was doubtful about filing for Bankruptcy before working with Chris Kane. Now having completed the process, I realize it was the best decision I could have made. Chris and his staff were professional, thorough, and thoughtful. I highly recommend Chris Kane.

Chris is down-to-earth and personable and easy to work with. One does not feel intimidated – when one is in a stressful place in one’s life. He knows what he is doing, works quick, efficient, and effective and brought this to as quick of a close as was possible. Definitely recommend.
