My divorce was long and ugly as so many are. Kevin and his assistant Crystal were with me the entire way. I felt heard and represented. As each problem arose Kevin was right there to send the appropriate (and quick) responses and get business taken care of. He did not have the power to make the divorce go any faster (no one can control the other side), but he did have the power to help out with the outcome. In the end, I felt very taken care of and represented. I don't know if there was a "winner" but I didn't feel like I had lost. I was able to get what I needed to move on with my life and that was the best outcome for everyone. One thing I will say about Kevin is that he will not sugar coat for you. As a person going through trauma there are things you want to hear, but he told me things as I "needed" to hear them. It kept me based in reality and I appreciated that! My life is better for having met Kevin and Crystal! Thank you both!
After interviewing a number of the top family law attorneys in the Salem area, I retained Kevin Gage to assist and finalize my difficult long-term divorce. I found Mr. Gage to be very professional yet personal, as well as continually conscious of how we could work together to minimize my billing statements. In the end, I do not believe I could have retained a more efficient family law attorney than Kevin Gage.

"I cannot recommend Kevin Gage highly enough for divorce matters. My brother and I met with him yesterday to find out what my brother needed to know about divorce in Oregon, and in a little over an hour, Kevin did a perfect job of explaining the process and making clear what's involved in each of the steps in getting a divorce. He was clear, succinct, knowledgeable about the law and the practicalities of untangling a marriage.
Kevin fixed a terrible spousal support issue I had with my ex wife. I had been paying her an astronomical spousal support, even though she had been remarried three times! Because of the support payments, it looked like I would never be able to retire.
I met with Kevin because my cousin, a federal judge in Alaska, said he was the highest rated divorce attorney in Salem. Kevin was great. He listened, was sympathetic and did all the legal things necessary to get me out a terrible situation.
Kevin Gage, Helped me in a very tough time in my life.I was in a very abusive marriage 35 plus years . He was very helpful in explaining things to me so I could make the right decision for myself and my future! I highly recommend him! He's a wonderful human being,I would go to him for legal advice if needed in the future. I6U
I have sought Kevin's wisdom and professional expertise in the matter of my divorce and alimony modification. I would highly recommend him as a reliable and trusted source of help. With his many years of experience, he can be relied on to give you sound advice and representation

Hired Law Firm
Truly a professional and assisted in the case with expertise.
Mr. Gage was not only successful in obtaining a settlement that was beyond what anyone would have expected, but he encouraged me to do the things I could do to help reduce the cost of my divorce(eg-doing financial statements). However, the thing I appreciated the most was that he helped me to find the confidence I needed to go on with life and have a successful future.
I hired Mr. Gage to represent me in my divorce case. In every aspect of his handling of my case, I found Mr. Gage to be a consummate and ethical professional. He was highly responsive to my needs during a very emotional time. His record keeping was impeccable, and he was very professional in his dealings with opposing counsel. He took the time to listen, and was very supportive in every way. His legal assistant Crystal was also very kind and professional. I would highly recommend Mr. Gage.
My husband and I retained Mr. Gage in June 2012. He had to move mountains when our case first began. The Dad in this case is an Attorney and he created many barriers. Mr. Gage and his staff were always professional. He worked hard on our case even after office hours closed. He pushed the case forward and did not become intimidated by the opposing party. He is very well respected by the Judges and his peers. His style is impressive. He worked hard and closed our case quickly and efficiently.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
