Becoming a Client

Initial contacts should be via email to matthewmhousejd@gmail.com or text message to (503) 643-5284.

Every potential mediation client begins the process with one of two forms of consultation. One is a free 30-minute meet-and-greet, limited in duration and scope. The other is a 90-minute full introduction with free first hour.

Please contact me via email to explain your needs and request a 30-minute meet-and-greet free of charge or a 90-minute introduction for $123 with a free first hour.

Consultation

I have always made an effort to offer the widest availability of any Portland-area divorce mediator.

Monday through Friday, I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Each day is either a morning-afternoon calendar, which is from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. or an afternoon-evening calendar, which is from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Whether a particular day is morning-afternoon or afternoon-evening varies by the day and the week.

I am available by request on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but I prefer to reserve those times for my no-charge meetings with teenagers. If adult clients are not able to meet at any other time, I can schedule a Saturday session. I am also available occasionally on Sunday afternoons by request.

Monday through Friday sessions can be held in person or via Zoom.

Saturday and Sunday sessions are always held via Zoom.

Flexible Scheduling

BG Plaza
3800 SW Cedar Hills Boulevard
Suite 271 (office)
Beaverton, OR 97005

BG Plaza is a two-story office building (painted yellow and burgundy), behind Thai Bloom and Westgate restaurants. The restaurants and office building are two separate structures at the same address. The BG Plaza driveway is on Westgate Drive, across from Goodwill.

​Free parking is available in the BG Plaza parking lots. The exterior doors (except the one facing Rose Biggi Avenue) are unlocked on weekdays from 7:45 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The North Entrance (at the left end of the covered walkway in front of the building) is the most direct entrance. It is marked with a black sign near the door, and there is a bench by the door.

BG Plaza is a C-shaped building with a single hallway that curves several times. If your meeting is in Matthew's office, you will find the stairs and elevator near the vending machines and Suite 167. Once you are on the second floor, Matthew's office is to the right and two doors down (Suite 271).

Matthew's office is arranged like a living room. If you would prefer a conference table, Matthew can reserve the shared conference room. Also, if you have mobility concerns, the conference room is on the first floor and allows for easier maneuvering.

Consultations and mediation sessions via Zoom are available and encouraged. The only exception is the meetings with teens and pre-teens, which always take place in Matthew's office.
