Top Family Lawyers in ZIP 98057 | 12 available

The combination of my experience and compassion help me be an effective attorney for my clients. I try to educate my clients in the law and procedure so that they can make wise decisions regarding their life and future.  I deal directly with clients, so you get my personal attention.  I am prompt in returning phone calls and letters, and make efficient use of my time (saving you money).. I have been the managing partner at Mogren, Glessner & Ahrens for 20 years. The emphasis of my practice is in family law (divorce, custody, support, property division, modifications), wills and probate.. I grew up in south Seattle (Burien), and as a child was on the J.P. Patches, Stan Boreson and Captain Puget local television shows.  I enjoy running for fun (5K, 10K, half and full marathons), water and snow skiing, and volunteering in my church.  I am happily married with two adult daughters.

Other Firms may offer similar services, but our services come with a personal touch. Currently taking cases throughout the King County region.

I was born in Renton, Washington in 1964. Most of my life I lived in Auburn, Washington and graduated from Auburn Senior High School in 1982. In 1989 I started working in the legal industry as a paralegal/office manager in a small office in south King County. I loved working in the area of law, but after several years I realized that I wanted to become more involved in the cases than just being a paralegal. I continued working and started going to night school to obtain my Bachelor’s degree. In 2004 I graduated from the University of Washington with a major in Sociology and a minor in Communications. After that it was on to law school at Seattle University where I graduated in 2008.My work experience has given me a vast area of knowledge. During my 20 years in the legal industry, I have worked in family law, personal injury, property damage, medical malpractice, employment law, product liability, bankruptcy, criminal law, real estate, collections, fee disputes, estate planning, and probate. I even did some process serving when I was younger. Thus, my working experience has allowed me to see every aspect of a case from the bottom up.My family and I currently live in Bellevue, Washington. We love the Pacific Northwest and enjoy a lot of different outdoor activities. We also thoroughly love food and entertainment and take advantage of everything the Seattle/Bellevue area has to offer.
