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.
