Daniel J. Lounsbury, Attorney at Law | Willamette Valley Legal
Salem Family Law Lawyer
Overview
I am Daniel J. Lounsbury and I have practiced law for over 30 years. I am one of the most recent of several generations of lawyers in my family. I am first and foremost a husband and father. My wife and I have a large family of seven children. My personal experiences as a father make me particularly vigilant and protective of cases involving children.
I am very involved in my community, my church, my children's schools, and as a youth coach. I have spent many years coaching multiple sports but most recently have been a soccer coach to hundreds of Salem area youth from age 5 to high school. In addition to being a Parent Teacher Club President at my children's school, I have been a Boy Scout leader and mentor to a few hundred boys over the years.
For recreation, I love to hike, camp, fish and enjoy all types of sports. I am also a part-time runner and enjoy long-distance relays and road races such as Portland's Hood to Coast.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
