Welcome

MARCH 18, 2020 UPDATE: Due to recent confirmations of COVID-19 presence in Marion and other areas of Oregon by the OHA, along with Chief Justice Martha Walters’s Order No. 20-006 Order Imposing “Level 3” Restrictions on Court Operations, and statewide school closure, we will not be meeting in office. We are still operating part time and remotely. All court mandated domestic relations mediation sessions through April 28, 2020 will be converted to or scheduled as video conference, telephonic appearances, or suspended until further arrangements are made with the parties. We will reschedule as soon as possible. All Arbitration hearings through April 29, 2020 are canceled; we will work with the parties and their attorneys to reschedule. All client meetings shall be held via video or phone conference. Thank you for your consideration and stay healthy.

Michelle serves as an attorney, arbitrator, mediator and parenting time coordinator.

The Law Office of Michelle Vlach-Ing and Willamette Valley Mediation is located in historic downtown Salem, Oregon. Our location allows us to serve many of the surrounding communities, including Albany, Dallas, Eugene, Independence, Monmouth, and Portland.

As an attorney, Michelle focuses her attention on meeting the needs of her clients. Clientele is limited so we can provide attention to the clients we do represent. At this time we are not accepting new clients and will consider new clients by referral, only. We have experience addressing issues of all shapes and sizes, including intellectual property filings, complex infringement cases, business transactions, and property disputes.

As an arbitrator, Michelle is committed to remaining unbiased, allow the parties to manage their arbitration, and render quick decisions so the parties have a result.

As a mediator, Michelle listens to all sides and uses facilitative and evaluative techniques to help parties identify issues and explore options for resolution. Michelle enjoys preparing stipulated agreements.
