David is a rockstar attorney. If you need a smart, wise, responsive, attorney for a tough case, David [Starks] is definitely it. I felt connected, informed throughout a hard and long divorce and educated on process and next steps when I needed to be. I’m convinced that my divorce would have taken a different path without his wisdom and clear but fair approach.– Former Client | Seattle, WA
-
Nathan was the perfect lawyer to help me through my divorce. I was terrified, clueless, and heartbroken, but Nathan was with me the whole way. In addition to being very supportive, he is extremely competent – I wound up with a very generous settlement at mediation.– Former Client | Seattle, WA
-
Sam was a true advocate and extraordinarily competent representing me and my case. I have never felt so at ease despite all of the troubling litigation coming from the other party. Sam always left me feeling reassured in his strategy and his results spoke for themselves in court.– Former Client | Tacoma, WA
-
10/10 recommend Brent for anything family law related. He’s so personable and truly cares about his clients and the outcome of their case/situation. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and his litigation skills are unmatched. Will recommend him to anyone I know going through a family law matter.– Former Client | Seattle, WA
-
Courtney is a true professional in every sense of the word. She's also a deeply empathetic human who will pour her heart and soul into your case and Kayla will keep everything flawlessly organized on the back end. I cannot recommend Courtney enough.– Holly | Portland, OR
-
Mark, and his paralegal are absolutely amazing. Beyond just the legal representation they were tremendous in helping me through this extremely difficult time, and exhibited time and time again how much they cared about me and my family.– Eric | Tacoma, WA
-
I could hardly ask for a more hard-working, sensitive, and professional attorney with a strict attention to detail and organized, rational approach. [Kim Schnuelle's] knowledge of family law and the King county legal system seems to me unparalleled.– Former Client | Seattle, WA
-
Casey is brilliant in court, professional in his filings and I grew to trust Casey and Karrey implicitly. They taught me how to handle communications with my ex and always stay child focused. I have been and continue to be very grateful to have had this amazing legal team on my side through such a difficult divorce process!– Rebecca | Vancouver, WA
-
Amy is an incredibly skilled lawyer that put my needs and wishes at the front of my divorce. She and her team helped me every step of the way, and I felt reassured and supported throughout this emotional life transition. I highly recommend her!– Laura | Tacoma, WA
-
During a very painful time in my life, I found a bright star in attorney Jennifer Payseno and her team. Two years later, my eyes well up with tears just remembering their compassion while guiding me with expert knowledge and precise actions. Their thorough guidance was invaluable.– Alana | Seattle, WA
