Biography

Born and raised in Missoula, Montana, Lilian graduated Brandeis University in 1983 and returned to the Northwest, where she began practicing law in Portland after obtaining obtaining her JD at the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College in 1986.

In February of 2007, after years of specializing in family law matters, Lilian opened Bier Family Law. In practice for more than 30 years now, including 11 years of running her own practice, Lilian’s specialized and deep experience in all aspects of divorce allows her to represent clients with hard-earned expertise. Diligent and meticulous in representation, Lilian seeks fair and equitable resolution with a minimum of litigation whenever possible.

Lilian is an avid outdoors person, and in addition to a daily swim at noon, loves hiking, backpacking and horseback riding. When she's not working, Lilian gardens, paints (watercolors and oils), cans and freezes produce, knits and plays piano. She has two college age daughters, a husband who is a judge, and three dogs.

PROVEN TRACK RECORD

Most clients are referrals from other attorneys in the community and former clients, or past opposing clients. Both tough and tender, Lilian attempts to balance her role as a thorough and aggressive litigator with the hand-holding and empathy many clients require.

While she listens carefully to clients' concerns, Ms. Bier also gently guides and prods clients to action as circumstances require, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a fair resolution. Lilian wants her clients to regain control of their lives and to feel confident about their future at the conclusion of the dissolution.

All around unprofessional and a complete waste of time and money. Waited months for information that never came and follow ups were ignored. Then was told I would have to pay another consultation fee...
