I have been a practicing Washington Family Law attorney for over 46 years.. I was a previous president of the Family Law Section of the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association and the South King County Bar Association. I have also served as a Superior Court Judge pro tem, Superior Court Arbitrator, and Superior Court Commissioner pro tem for over 41 years.. I was awarded the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association Family Law Section Attorney of the Year in 2012.

For the past decade, Chad Eubanks has driven hundreds of divorce and family law cases throughout King, Pierce and Snohomish counties to exemplary outcomes. His knowledge of family laws and court procedures is second to none. Chad’s experience and skill routinely leads to early and outstanding settlements in cases he champions. However, when unreasonable demands circumvent settlement and push comes to shove, Chad is equally adept at litigating cases at court as he is negotiating them outside of it. Chad began his career with divorce and family law and has been doing it ever since.. In their 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 publications, Washington Law & Politics Magazine recognized Chad as a Rising Star among family law attorneys in the State. This recognition is provided to only 2.5 percent of attorneys in Washington each year.. Outside of law practice, Chad is an outdoorsman and father. He loves being outside, nature, and animals. He has two rescued dogs, Duke, a pit bull, and Willow, a lab-shepherd mix. He is an avid hunter, fishes religiously, and enjoys camping and boating throughout Washington and Idaho. Chad is also an accomplished craftsman, building custom furniture and doors with the same attention to detail and patience he devotes to the practice of law.

As I look back on almost 30 years of practice, I have loved being a lawyer.  I have experience and success in a variety of fields, which has made me more well-rounded compared to those who emphasize only 1 or 2 areas of law.. I have obtained several rewarding and high settlements for clients in employment law, divorces, personal injury, civil rights and police misconduct cases. I obtained the highest jury verdict in Spokane County ($3 million) against a Sheriff's office for misconduct against my clients. I am a well-rounded trial attorney who has litigated a wide range of cases, including taking cases through mediation, arbitration, and if needed, trial and appeals courts. I have done thousands of both bench and jury trials.. In law school, they told us in orientation that a high percentage of lawyers wish they did not go to law school and become a lawyer, so I am in the minority - I would not change a thing.  The law is for me.  I am a "lifer", which means I will practice law until they drag me away.. I decided to become a lawyer after the Major League Baseball peoples did not draft me in the first few rounds when I was 18.  I pitched several "1 hitters" (yes, 1 hitters, not "no hitters") in high school and for American Legion at ages 16-18, however, I lacked a 4th pitch (slider, curve, and knuckle-curve was all I had).  Anyway, I also loved playing basketball and football, but when old age set in (age 24+), I began playing softball and have really enjoyed that over the years, until really old age set in (age 40+), and now I don't play as much.  Trying to pick up golf cuz I see a lot of older people out there swinging the clubs, but the last few years I have focused on Tennis.  I like martial arts, sports on t.v., great movies, great food, and being happy.  I had not traveled around the world much, until I met my wife, Hong, who has taken me to China many times now (wow, it is really cool).  My focus outside of work is my daughter, JoJo and her life!  Anyway, I still spend a lot of time doing work because I am obsessed with deadlines, client problems and being the best lawyer I possibly can.
