For the past 32 years, family law attorney Craig Galpern has handled difficult matters in a way that resonates with Mail Tribune readers, who named him Best Attorney.

Assistant Lynn Winner notes that Galpern's honesty and sense of humor make difficult matters of divorce, child custody and child support less painful for clients.

"He's fair. He's really up front," Winner says. "He doesn't tell people what they want to hear, he tells them how it is."

Galpern, whose practice focuses on divorce and divorce modification, was second in last year's Readers' Choice vote. A graduate of Willamette University College of Law, Galpern has been practicing in the Rogue Valley since 1978.

Galpern's practice is across from RoxyAnn Winery, at 3235 Hillcrest Park Drive, Suite 106, Medford.
