Legal Aid Services of Oregon - Bend

I am an elderly surviving spouse and contacted these folks to specifically ask about ORS 108.040, the Oregon Family Expense Act as I owe thousands of dollars for my wife's chemotherapy. While admitting she was not a lawyer, the person I spoke with abruptly said she had "never heard of that" and immediately became very condescending. She offered NO further recommendations or advice and essentially dismissed my other questions as I asked..."should I call the Oregon Department of Justice for information, would they know?" "If you want to!" If this is how senior citizens are treated by this group shame on them.

Helps with very little services, was very disappointing

They won't help at all despite telling them my civil rights are being violated and I'm being abused by the courthouse. I have all the proof I need on my phone and through letters. The woman running the place won't help with no contact restraining orders even if the no contact order is tearing the family apart, putting my daughter at risk of growing up without a father, and the good marriage my wife and I have while does have it's troubles is being burned to the ground by a corrupt courthouse. Don't even know why they exist.
