It's not always easy to remain levelheaded when you're facing a legal issue affecting your family or finances. That's where Kristi comes in. She offers solid advice to help clients manage navigating the complexity of legal actions, strategizing for favorable outcomes, and making wise choices when dealing with difficult opposing parties or attorneys.

Kristi was admitted to the Oregon State Bar in 2020 and has been practicing family law ever since. Kristi received the Oregon New Lawyers Division Award of Excellence in Fall 2023 and was featured in an article in the Oregon State Bar Bulletin shortly thereafter. Her litigation experience includes custody disputes, enforcement of parenting time, modifications, asset division and debt allocation issues, a variety of support and other related family law issues, and contested probate matters. She gained much of her experience working for a non-profit representing low income and underrepresented populations, as well as other small family law and estate planning firms.

Kristi is incredibly passionate about promoting the parent-child relationship and helping clients receive their fair share when dissolving their marriage. She carefully assesses each unique client’s situation to help strategize for their best possible outcome. She works respectfully and collaboratively with opposing counsel and the courts to help clients negotiate agreements and avoid litigation whenever possible, but will aggressively advocate for clients in court when settlement is not possible.

When she isn’t practicing law, Kristi enjoys playing and composing music, riding her motorcycle, spending time with her husband and two chihuahuas (Princess and Bebop), and exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Victor is a dedicated family law attorney with a passion for guiding clients through some of life’s most challenging moments. Victor joined Vibrant Law LLC in August 2024, and brings a fresh perspective and a commitment to achieving fair and equitable solutions for families. 

Victor takes a compassionate, no-nonsense, and results oriented approach to his cases. Victor strives to provide legal counsel that allows for the best outcomes for children and families. He believes that resolving custody cases amicably often serves families best, but he will vigorously litigate cases for his clients wherever necessary. 

Victor grew up in San Diego, California and attended San Francisco State University, where he earned his B.A. in Political Science and Philosophy. Being raised in a bilingual household, Victor understands how difficult it is for immigrants and Spanish-only speakers to receive quality, competent legal advice when they need it most. Victor’s fluency in Spanish allows him to serve a diverse array of clients. 

Victor earned his Juris Doctor degree from Lewis & Clark Law School in 2023. During law school, Victor clerked for the Oregon Department of Justice and a small law firm, gaining hand-on litigation and family law experience. Prior to joining Vibrant Law LLC, Victor represented homeowners associations and developed strong negotiation and litigation skills that allowed him to achieve favorable results for his clients. 

When not practicing law, Victor enjoys cooking, playing music, and photography.
