We are Seattle divorce lawyers and King County family law attorneys who assist clients in need of a steady hand during the most difficult of times.  Washington state's divorce cases are often complicated, especially there are children involved.  The amount of your debts and assets, the current incomes of you and your spouse, and the length of your marriage are all critical factors in how a court will divide your property and award support.

Do you live in Seattle or elsewhere in King County?  Is a Washington State divorce in your future?  If you are looking for helpful information on Washington divorce law and want to learn more about your legal rights and options, we invite you to call our offices and learn more about how we can help.  After learning more about your situation, we can explain the process ahead of your in more detail and then discuss how we would propose handling your case.

Divorce can be stressful.  Our Seattle family law lawyers are here to assist you through this complicated and chaotic time.  Our Washington divorce lawyers know the divorce and family laws of this state.  And, we are extremely familiar with the local divorce courts here in Seattle and in Kent.  Whether your divorce is complicated or simple and uncontested, we have the resources and the experience to make your goals a reality.

Every Washington State divorce or family law case presents its challenges.  When you retain our firm, we make a commitment to you and your children.  We will stand by and fight for what is fair and equitable, even if it means going to trial. 

Seattle divorce attorneys who care and are dedicated to aggressively protecting you and your children.

There is no perfect path to finding the right Seattle divorce lawyer for your case.  You should meet with as many Seattle family law lawyers as you feel is necessary until you find someone with whom you have a genuine rapport and with whom you have confidence.  It is, however, critical to find someone that you can trust.

Almost every Washington family law case is emotionally charged and psychologically draining.  During this difficult period, it's important to have a steady hand at the wheel.  We have been through many battles.  We know what is at stake when it comes to your case.  And, while we are often required to tell our clients things that they do not want to hear, we firmly believe that our results speak for themselves.  In some respects, this is simply the nature of any contested divorce case.

Almost no one walks away from a divorce with everything they want.  This is true whether a case is successfully negotiated or ends up going to trial.  In our view, the key is to set aggressive but realistic goals from the onset of your case and then build both a short and a long-term strategy that is designed to meet or exceed these expectations.

This is why we believe that it is absolutely critical to begin every new client relationship by listening extremely carefully to our client and learning more about the unique facts and circumstances involved in their situation.  When it comes to divorce and family law cases, knowledge is power.  Your goals become our goals, and we will be with every step of the process.

Washington State divorce law is complicated and wrought with uncertainty.

Washington State divorce law can be very complicated.  It is also wrought with uncertainty.  The simple truth is that Washington divorce law is specifically designed to allow commissioners and judges to fashion specific remedies based on very broad principles such as dividing debts and assets in a way that is "fair and equitable" and making custody and visitation decisions that are "in the best interests" of the child.

What is fair and equitable and what is in the best interests of the child, however, is a very subjective analysis.  This is where a good Washington State divorce lawyer can be a real asset.  The commissioners and judges deciding your fate, as well as that of your children, will only see a very small slice of your life.  And, much of their decision often hinges on whom they believe.

It is therefore critical that you and your attorney properly present your side of the story and assist in determining which battles are worth undertaking.

Our Washington divorce attorneys are experienced, aggressive, dedicated, and results oriented.

Our Washington State family law lawyers understand that getting the right facts and evidence before a commissioner and judge can have a huge impact on the ultimate resolution of your case.  This is why we take the time to properly prepare your case from day one.

If you have questions about your case, we invite you to call our offices for a free phone consultation.  One of our Washington divorce attorneys can review the facts of your case and discuss how we would approach assisting you in achieving your goals.
