OAAP Services
The Oregon Attorney Assistance Program (OAAP) is a confidential service funded by the Professional Liability Fund (PLF) for all Oregon lawyers and judges. We provide assistance with alcoholism, drug addiction, stress management, time management, career transition, compulsive disorders (including gambling addiction), relationships, depression, anxiety, and other issues that affect the ability of a lawyer or judge to function effectively. Our assistance includes individual counseling, workshops, educational programs, and referrals.

OAAP attorney counselors all have experience practicing law and have personal experience and/or training in addiction, compulsive disorders, 12-step programs, career transition, stress management, mental health issues, and other areas of assistance provided by the program.

What You Tell Us Is Completely Confidential
All communications with the OAAP are completely confidential and will not affect your standing with the Professional Liability Fund or the Oregon State Bar. No information will be disclosed to any person, agency, or organization outside the OAAP without the consent of the person accessing the program. Contacts with us are kept strictly confidential pursuant to ORS 9.568, PLF Policy 6.150 – 6.300, ORS 9.080(2), ORS Ch. 194.410, BOG Bylaw Ch. 16, and ORPC 8.3(c)(3). No one will be told about requests for services.
