Top best Child Custody Lawyers Near me in ZIP 98103

I was born and raised in the Chicago-land area, and will always consider myself a Chicago girl at heart although I absolutely love living in Seattle. I earned a degree in finance from the University of Illinois and started my career as a futures and options auditor. I went on to become a financial analyst for a couple of years before deciding that I needed a career change where I could more directly work with and help people. I attended law school at Tulane University in New Orleans, and am incredibly proud to have lived in such a diverse, rich, and amazing city. The time I lived in New Orleans was a period of time where the city was filled with unfaltering hope, revitalization, and rejuvenation post-Katrina. I will be forever grateful that I was able to call myself a New Orleanian for three incredible years.. During law school, I interned at the Cook County Criminal Court in Chicago, and at the Northwest Justice Project in Seattle. After graduating from law school, I worked for the Honorable Judge Julie Spector at the King County Superior Court.. I feel very fortunate to be able to say that I love my job. I love being able to help people as they transition from the familiar to the unknown – to an unknown filled with endless possibility. Nothing brings me greater joy in my work than seeing the evolution my clients undergo from the beginning of their case to the conclusion. I think many people are surprised by their own strength and transformations; it’s thrilling to be a part of their journey!. Family law deals with two areas many people hold most dear – their family and their finances. It is a highly emotionally charged area of law, and I enjoy bringing my financial background to the table. It is my job as an attorney to advocate to the best of my ability for my clients, to educate them on the law, and to listen to them when all they need is an ear.. I love music and am a classically trained pianist as well as a saxophone player. A huge sports fan, I am always rooting on my Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and Fighting Illini. After living in the incredible city of New Orleans, I am an avid supporter of any and all things championing the rebuilding of NOLA. My favorite activity outside of the office is spending time with my daughter and my husband. I live with my husband, our daughters.

Attorney, Amanda DuBois. B.S.N., Nursing - Pacific Lutheran University. J.D. - University of Puget Sound (now Seattle University). About fifteen years ago, I started my own family law firm. I envisioned a place where individuals going through the de-coupling process could feel empowered though education and understanding. I am really proud to say that our office here on the water in Fremont is exactly what I had in mind all those years ago. Our firm practices exclusively in family law and estate planning and I have managed to find some amazing lawyers who all have backgrounds in either human services or finance. So, in addition to being smart strong advocates, the lawyers here are warm, compassionate, financially savvy, and most importantly, family focused. As the owner of a law firm, and a parent myself, I particularly enjoy working with business owners and busy professionals. I am continually amazed by my clients’ ability to keep up with the demands of their profession, while at the same time prioritizing their responsibilities as a mother or father. That kind of juggling act is almost incomprehensible within the context of a divorce. I fully understand the demands on the busy schedules of these individuals and work hard with my team to structure the legal process around our clients’ family and business obligations. Our time together must be efficient and packed with information. And after-hours availability is a must. All of my team and most of our experts are available long after five o’clock, and on weekends for check-in emails, texts, calls, or meetings when necessary.. As a strong believer in giving back to my community, I currently serve in several positions that help those in need. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about giving or would like to talk with me about your project.
