Anthony J Motschenbacher Attorney

Family Law

Child Support
Child Abuse
Prevailed on an anti-SLAPP motion against a person who reported suspected child abuse. The child-abuse reporter based her statements on reasonable information conveyed by the child and the child's mother. In response, the suspected abuser sued the reporter for $1 million in punitive and compensatory damages. All claims against the child-abuse reporter were dismissed with prejudice and attorney’s fees were awarded.

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
How Bankruptcy Can Impact Your Clients: Basics for Criminal Law, Family Law, and Litigation Attorneys, Oregon State Bar, December 2018
Wrongful Death
Scuba Liability Defense: Successfully defended scuba instructors, shops, and various national certifying associations in Washington and Oregon courts for over 10 years against 7 figure claims for negligence and wrongful death. Two of Chris’s clients’ defense verdicts were upheld on appeal, creating new law in both states favorable to the scuba industry.
Fraud
Commercial Real Estate: Represented a long-time client who was the purchaser in a complex real estate fraud/breach of contract matter involving a Section 1031 acquisition of a commercial office complex. The case took over 5 years to resolve, first within the JAMS arbitration system where our client prevailed after a 10-day hearing with a 7-figure award, and later in California state court to confirm and defend the award from challenges by the defendants. The case was ultimately settled before judgment was entered in the state court action. Chris’s client was awarded substantial damages, costs, and attorney’s fees.

Nick’s practice focuses on helping businesses and business owners solve complex business problems. Nick also specializes in helping businesses facing financial problems and insolvency resulting from overwhelming debt, inadequate cash flow, and embezzlement or malfeasance by corporate directors or officers.
