    "I can't thank him enough."
    My children were not safe with my ex. Eric was the third attorney on my case. He was patient, calm, and helped me show the court what needed to be seen in order to protect my children. I can't thank him enough for the guidance he provided.

    "A fierce advocate for me during my divorce."
    Cameron was a fierce advocate for me during my divorce, and Amy kept me apprised every step of the way. I never once felt "in the dark" about my case, I always felt seen and heard, and was consistently treated with the highest level of compassion and professionalism.

    "Explained the process and options clearly."
    Jane Malico explained the process and options clearly and understandably at every step of the way and was very responsive to questions. I appreciate that Jane gave realistic assessments of situations and encouraged me to consider my goals when making decisions. I would gladly work with Jane again.
    Jordan
     | Seattle, WA
    "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.

    "Integrity that instills confidence."
    Brian has a commanding and confident demeanor and an integrity that instills confidence and calm among the stress and chaos of divorce. He is very responsive and communicates all possible outcomes and options thoroughly.
    Ailsa
     | Seattle, WA
    "Earned my respect and trust."
    What impressed me most, is how incredibly well prepared she was and how confident she was in court. She's so professional and empathetic. She realizes how hard it can be to need her services and really helped explain the process so there were no surprises. I can't thank her enough. Caitlin [Royse] has earned my respect and trust.
    Former Client
     | Everett, WA
    "Their thorough guidance was invaluable."
    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
    "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
    "Helped me through the most difficult time in my life."
    John Rosecrans (and his awesome team!) helped me through the most difficult time in my life. To John, it's about doing the right thing and making sure I am supported and properly informed of my options at every turn. John, Leanne and Patty have always gone above and beyond, and for that I am forever grateful.
