One of the states in which I am admitted licenses me not only as an attorney but also a “Counsellor at Law”. I best counsel my clients as a supportive but calm buffer during their time of stress and emotion. With over 40 years in practice, I can clarify what seem to be incomprehensible procedures and legal gibberish to my clients, and explain how their facts fit into the legal factors the court weighs in deciding the issues.. If safety is not an overriding concern, I believe my client’s best interests (both emotional and financial) are served by negotiating agreed orders when possible, minimizing the mudslinging common in contested hearings. When hearings are necessary, my background as an accomplished debater, and writing skills derived as a legal writing instructor and Harvard English major, both help persuade the court.. In addition to full representation, I also offer hourly advice / drafting ("unbundled") legal services to individuals representing themselves. When the parties have their own attorneys but are unable to reach agreement, I have also served as mediator in settlement conferences since 1997.. Life is not all work, though. In my free time, I like digital photography, paddling a kayak, hiking, squash, tennis, cross-country skiing --- and playing Wii tennis, baseball, and bowling. Finally, I love tasty food and drink enjoyed with my wife and other good friends.. Favorite quote (from the late Judge McCutcheon, during a trial several years ago): “There’s still room in the law for common sense.”

Natalie Roberts has spent the entirety of her legal career mastering her skills in family law.  She is well distinguished in the legal community and known for her persistent, intelligent and strategic litigation – both in the court room and in negotiations.. When hand-crafting her legal arguments for the court room, Natalie keeps her client’s quality of life and financial stability at the forefront.  She understands that every decision/request throughout a case can have major life impacts on her clients such as transporting your children to and from exchanges, ensuring you have enough spousal maintenance to pay your monthly bills, or protecting your assets to ensure the other party does not dispose of them.  These details are all important.  For these reasons, Natalie takes time to meet with her clients and go over every aspect of the case and her proposed strategies.  Natalie firmly believes that success in or out of the courtroom requires a strong, collaborative working relationship with her clients.. Experience and a good reputation also helps when negotiating with the opposing counsel/party.  She understands that not every case is meant for the courtroom and will often suggest mediation or initiating negotiations.  Mediation can be, and most often is, a place where two very disagreeable parties can reach an agreement.  Reaching an agreement usually means both parties can move on with their lives quicker and in a more positive atmosphere versus going to trial, which is extremely stressful for clients and their family/friends.. While reaching an agreement is generally the preferred outcome, that does not always happen.  In that situation, Natalie is prepared.  She is not shy in the courtroom and has represented clients in all facets of family law trials.  Natalie has the attention to detail, work ethic, and knowledge to handle difficult, complex cases at trial.. Prior to working at Envision Family Law, Natalie worked for several years at a high-volume law firm in Seattle.  Having worked for several years primarily in the Seattle area, Natalie established an excellent relationship with other attorneys in King County and is a familiar face to the judges and commissioners on the bench.  Natalie’s practice is not limited to King County and she has significant experience in Snohomish County and Pierce County as well.. Natalie graduated Cum Laude from Seattle University School of Law in 2009.  Prior to law school, Natalie attended the University of Tulsa and received a Bachelor of Arts degree, Cum Laude, in English Literature.  Natalie was a member of the Division One University of Tulsa track and cross-country teams.  Natalie still enjoys running in her spare time.  Natalie also enjoys sailing, skiing, and other outdoor activities with her family.

My practice involves complex civil cases. The subjects vary, including Antitrust, Consumer and Employment Class Actions, environmental enforcement, unfair competition, and substantial contract disputes. In all cases, I bring judgment and analysis with complete focus on advancing the client's interests.  Sometimes this has involved lengthy trials or accelerated motions for injunctive relief.  But in most cases, matters are resolved by identifying the key legal issues and obtaining the client's goal through pretrial motions or settlement.  While I am relentlessly interested in the legal issues, I am just as focused on counseling clients in a coordinated effort to resolve the problem presented.. I have litigated cases in state and federal court in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California, Colorado, Kansas, and Arizona, and have represented clients in arbitrations before the International Chamber of Commerce and American Arbitration Association. I have argued cases in the Washington Supreme Court, Washington Court of Appeals, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the Federal Circuit.

My legal career began defending businesses against claims of employment discrimination and premises liability disputes.  This expanded to defending both businesses and individuals against catastrophic personal injury and construction defect claims.  I enjoy helping clients to better understand the legal process and ensuring they feel that their position is heard and zealously advocated in front of the decision maker.. I am a life long Washington resident and when I am not in the office, you can often find me rooting on our local sports teams or spending much needed time with my wife and two dogs.

My work revolves around complex commercial litigation, including shareholder disputes and business dissolutions, trust and probate estate disputes, real estate controversies, contracts, construction issues, debtor/creditor rights, employment issues, and torts. I have experience with trusts as well as financial transactions in the following industries: banking, lending, mortgages, construction, real estate, commercial development and leasing.. I am aggressive in the courtroom, but compromise if and when appropriate. My prime objective is to achieve practical results for my clients, using an effective combination of technical skill and common sense.

My undergraduate education at the University of Washington started with a concentration in South Asian Area Studies but I finished with a B.S. in Cell/Molecular Biology. Upon completion of my undergraduate degree I entered a PhD program at the University of New Mexico with an emphasis on evolution and adaptive physiology. I completed my PhD in 1986. Along the way I taught at undergraduate and graduate levels. My research has been published in national and international peer-reviewed journals.. Upon returning to Seattle, I entered the University of Washington Law School, earning my J.D. in 1989.

In 1989 I joined the Defender Association as a staff attorney. In my years at the Defender Association I represented indigent clients on cases ranging from suspended driver's licenses to homicide.. I now work out of my home as a sole practitioner. My low overhead allows me to make a living while keeping my fees within reach of the average person.. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I lived in Thailand for two years and have traveled in Japan, India, and Maylaysia. Teaching in New Mexico, I had students from the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni tribes. These experiences educated me on the significance of understanding culture and language when working with others. I am LGBT and kink friendly.

My primary focus is representing condominium and homeowner associations - I am a community association lawyer, and I focus on general counsel, not litigation. However, my firm is well versed in all aspects of community association law, including general counsel (my focus), assessment collection, and various types of litigation and alternative dispute resolution.  Our friendly lawyers and staff look forward to speaking with you.

My practice focuses on all areas of family law including dissolutions of marriages, legal separations, child custody and parenting plans, relocation, spousal maintenance, child support and complex property division.. Complex family law matters require an understanding of both the legal issues and the emotional toll involved and I approach my practice with this in mind. Each case is unique and I take the time necessary to ensure that each client's concern is heard and addressed head-on. It is critical that my client’s understand the law and its implications for their case.  I pride myself on resolving difficult legal matters on behalf of my clients through effective negotiation or direct advocacy.
