Championing Civil Rights.
I'm John Devlin. A seasoned mediator and respected civil rights attorney with a track record of resolving complex disputes and advocating for justice.
Mediation
I bring decades of courtroom experience to my mediation practice. I also use mindfulness skills, such as active listening, to help the parties move toward resolution. Mediation allows the parties to control the result, reducing costs and uncertainty. I mediate all types of civil cases, including motor vehicle, employment, and professional negligence, in person throughout Oregon or by Zoom.

The civil justice system is a powerful tool for holding institutions accountable and promoting positive change. I handle cases involving inadequate medical care in jails and prisons, often against state and local governments or for-profit contractors. I also bring cases against the Oregon Department of Human Services on behalf of children who have experienced abuse in the foster care system.

I offer CLE workshops and presentations for legal groups, helping attorneys integrate mindfulness into their life and their legal practice. Even a few minutes a day can transform how we work and live.
