| Thank you for exploring my divorce portal. My goal is to provide the following: Affordable Representation I aim to provide affordable representation to the court. I process agreed, uncontested divorces throughout Washington State and actively represent clients in court in King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties in custody, visitation, child support, paternity and domestic violence issues, and routinely represent active duty service members. So often access to the judicial system can be prohibitive due to cost. My goal is to always provide affordable access. For agreed divorce cases all Washington state is served. For contested cases requiring litigation of your issues, I spend time with clients to discuss their objectives, explain what reasonably can be accomplished through the litigation process, and discuss realistically the investment to you in terms of time and money in the objectives you are hoping to accomplish. Individualized Attention I strive to provide individualized attention to each of my client's cases. This means being prompt with returning phone calls, keeping clients informed regarding the status of their case, and working together to insure the client's objectives and needs are being represented adequately to their satisfaction. I understand that divorce is a difficult and stressful time in your life. I offer the skilled legal support you need to obtain a resolution that meets your present and future needs. Divorce law can often be high conflict and stressful for all parties involved. Often, a divorce is a person's first contact with the legal system. My hope is to diffuse your stress by being available to you, educating you about the system and being realistic with your expectations. Sometimes, conflict can be avoided through a collaborative law process. I employ a variety of methods to resolve family law cases, including litigation, mediation, and collaboration. Other times, litigation is the only solution. In either case, I am prepared to tailor a game plan that will meet your needs in terms of aggressively resolving your legal issue in a manner that is cost effective. My law firm works to reduce conflict in difficult or complex divorce settlements. We help you achieve long term solutions that address your unique needs, so you can feel secure. Services Provided I invite you to explore my firm's practice areas to get a full understanding of the services offered. In short, my firm handles all types of family law matters: whether your divorce is agreed or contested, whether you need mediation, whether your divorce involves complex child custody or propery disputes, and whether you are unable to resolve your issues and need to take your case to trial. I have the experience and background to effectively handle your case, and always strive to do so in a transparent and open process with an eye on the bottom line. |
