One of the most important decisions that you will ever make.

Choosing the right Washington state divorce or Seattle family law attorney can have a huge impact in how your case is ultimately resolved.  Although your divorce or family law case is likely to only last from a few months to up to a year, the effects of the final orders typically last for many years to come, if not a lifetime.

It is important to find a lawyer that you trust and who believes in your case.  Indeed, when your case involves divorce, custody, visitation, child support, legal separation, or paternity, it is absolutely essential that you and your attorney have a solid working relationship. 

Our primary goal is to provide you with the knowledge and the resources necessary in order to allow you to make an informed decision about whether to resolve your case through negotiation or go to court.  We understand that your case involves making some of the most important decisions that you will probably ever face, and we're with you every step of the way.


Effective communication and early strategic planning are essential.

It is absolutely essential that you and your Seattle divorce lawyer are on the same page from the beginning of your case.  That is why we start every consultation by actively listening to our clients and learning about their unique situation.  Only you know what is truly best for you and your family.  Our job is to help you achieve these goals.

From the onset, it is important to discuss all aspects of your case and to plan accordingly.  This is because decisions reached early on can have a ripple affect throughout your case.  If you make the wrong decision out of the box, it can severely hinder your options later.

Washington divorce and family law is complicated.

Washington divorce and family law is very complex, and it takes years of practice to fully understand its intricacies and implementation.  While some of the laws and basic concepts appear relatively straightforward, their actual application is often anything but straightforward.  Therefore, in addition to having a solid basic understanding of Washington State's divorce laws, it is also imperative that your Seattle divorce attorney understand its subtle nuances.

Part of the problem stems from the fact that Washington divorce law is somewhat intentionally vague and ambiguous by nature.  It is intentionally structured to afford judges a tremendous amount of discretion in rendering their decisions.  This is why a thorough understanding of its operating principles is so critical.  Without this understanding, it would be impossible to properly advise our Washington divorce clients about their options.


Your Washington divorce lawyer's resources, skills, and experience.

As in other areas of practice, your attorney must be competent.  The more unusual or difficult your case, the more expertise your Washington divorce attorney must have in order to properly advise and represent you.  Of equal or greater importance, however, is being certain that your lawyer is comfortable handling complex divorce and family law matters in King County. 

Your Seattle divorce or family law attorney should understand the local rules and the local procedures, and they should have the resources and the experience to tailor their approach to your specific needs and goals.  Our Seattle divorce attorneys bring these resources and skills to the table in every case we handle.

Some cases are best resolved by the parties themselves, in mediation, through collaborative divorce, or through some other form of negotiation.  In other cases, such an approach is simply impossible.  These cases must be litigated.  In Washington divorce and family law cases, no lawyer is right for every case.

Every Seattle divorce and Washington family law case is unique.  In many ways, this is truly what sets divorce and family law matters apart from most other areas of the law.  Similarly, every attorney-client relationship is unique as well.  As hard as divorce is, the results will be better and the process will be less painful if you choose your lawyer carefully. 

Unlike many of our competitors, we encourage our clients to interview several prospective lawyers before retaining one.  The investment in time and resources made up front will pay huge dividends many times over when you find the Washington divorce attorney who is right for you and your case.
