Estate Work Handled by the Attorney You Hired

Estate planning and probate can get put off because it can feel hard to understand or full of confusing legal language. Chris will tell you in plain language, whether you're building a first will, settling a parent's estate, or stepping in to manage a loved one's finances. Then he does the work himself.

Probate & Trust Administration

Clear guidance through Oregon probate and trust administration, from appointment as personal representative to final distribution.

Meet The Attorney

The Only Attorney Who Will Handle Your File

Chris Clark is the sole attorney at The O'Neill Law Firm. He took over the practice from his late mentor, John O'Neill, and he has kept his practice the way John worked: accessible, direct, and personally involved in every matter.

That's a structural choice, not a slogan. There's no legal assistant in between, no case handed off when he's busy, and no version of this where you call and get someone who has to look up your name. Whether you're planning an estate, settling one, or petitioning for a conservatorship, you're working with Chris from the first call to the last filing. His credentials and bar memberships are on the About page.
