    "My team was head and shoulders above the rest."
    My team, Margaret Stewart, her paralegal, Jacquelynn, and Grace were comforting, professional, prepared, and easy to correspond with. There were months of preparation leading to a very stressful morning. But once, we got into court, I realized, that my team was heads and shoulders above the rest.

    "Hard-working, sensitive, and professional."
    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.

    "I could not be happier with the outcome."
    Best attorney and team in Vancouver! I could not be happier with the outcome! Her and her team are always very quick to respond to my questions and give answers that I could understand. She truly made me feel like she was in it with me throughout the whole process! I would recommend Teresa and her team every time!
    Lindsay
     | Vancouver, WA
    "They cared about me and my family."
    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
    "My voice was being heard."
    She always made me feel like my voice was being heard and took the time to explain things in detail when it was necessary. Most importantly, she fought stringently for my child and for myself as a good father. If you are looking for the highest quality, most professional and compassionate family law representation, Amy Carei should be your pick.
    Andy
     | Tacoma, WA
    "A true advocate and extraordinarily competent."
    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
    "Helped me achieve a fair outcome."
    Sarah guided me through every step of the divorce process, ensuring I was informed and confident in my decisions. She was always responsive, answering my questions promptly and providing thoughtful advice tailored to my situation. Her negotiation skills ultimately helped me achieve a fair outcome.
