My pronouns are He/Him, and I am a family lawyer. I help families expand... and contract. From Prenuptials to Divorces, Minor Guardianship to Committed Intimate Relationships (CIRs), I am here to be an advocate for you and help your family get to a happier future.. I am a champion for non-traditional families. I create constructs of agreements to ensure any adult can partner with any other adult(s) to create the living situation they choose and raise their children how they wish - while maintaining legal rights and protections.. In addition to my family law practice I am a JAG in the Washington Air National Guard, after twelve years of service on Active Duty with the Air Force. I am a military law expert and have both prosecuted and defended military justice cases. I specialize where military life and family law intersect - military retirement considerations in a divorce and immigrant spouse pre-and-postnuptial agreements.. Among my many honors, I am most proud of my Meritorious Service Medal in 2016 for creating a legal procedure for Transgender servicemembers to obtain the treatment to which they were entitled; a procedure that the Air Force Surgeon General's Counsel declared the standard throughout the Air Force and became the standard worldwide in the U.S. Armed Forces..

I am a partner at Deno Millikan Law Firm, PLLC. I’m a trial lawyer, and I use my legal skills to help my clients in a broad variety of cases. I’ve been honored by the Willamette University College of Law in Salem, Oregon by serving as Note and Comment Editor of the Willamette Law Review.. I’ve been identified as a Washington State “Super Lawyer” by Washington Law and Politics Magazine in 2003. I’ve been active in the Snohomish County Bar Association, and in 2010 served as Trustee, being elected as Vice President in 2011, and the Snohomish County Bar President for the year 2012. I continually work with other attorneys and in seminars to develop better and better trial skills. Part of that work has been through training offered to trial attorneys in the Spence Trial Lawyers College regional programs. The fact is, that most legal trials are battles involving the mind, persuasion and advocacy, but often not recognized is the fact that trials become matters of the heart as well. Developing these skills and my caring for my clients’ issues has been the key to success for me, and for my clients.. Snohomish County is the place where I was born and the place where I grew up. This community shaped my vision of who I wanted to be in the world and how I wanted to live. The values that I grew up with are the value of hard work and the satisfaction that comes from hard work, the value of integrity in dealing with my clients, my associates, the Courts and opposing attorneys. Finally, I was taught and enjoy the happiness that comes from helping someone else. These values led me to become a lawyer, and these values are a cornerstone of who I am as a lawyer and in helping my clients resolve their important and difficult problems.. My work as a trial lawyer encompasses a variety of legal areas, most of which may require a skilled negotiator or advocate at trial. Complex divorces, personal injury cases, and difficult commercial and business problems occupy the bulk of my legal time.However, we live in a community that has a lot of non-trial problems, involving leases, contracts, land disputes, and all sorts of other problems. Helping my clients solve their weighty problems is one of my favorite parts of the legal profession.  I also serve as an arbitrator with Snohomish County’s Mandatory Arbitration Program.. I always knew that I would return to Everett after finishing law school, to raise my family here. I love being able to share the same things with my daughter that I enjoyed as a kid. Whether it is skiing at Stevens Pass with my family and friends, walking though the Evergreen State Fair on a rainy August afternoon or hauling in a crab pot off Whidbey Island, this is the place that grounds me.. If you are reading this and looking for an attorney, give me a call or email me at  and let’s talk about the solutions that may be available to you.

Since being admitted to the practice of law in 2007, I have been a trial attorney.. I spent my first five years as an assistant public defender in Bradenton, FL, where I more or less lived in a court room. I acted as trial counsel, a division chief, appellate counsel, and a liason to diversionary programs. I had the fortune of trying many jury trials, including mandatory life cases.. In 2012, I started working in civil litigation in Sarasota, FL. I represented plaintiffs exclusively. This time period provided me with very valuable education. I had the benefit of very good attorney mentors who taught me an enormous amount about trial craft, negotiation strategy, and many of the finer techinical points of legal practice.. In 2015, my family made the decision to move to Washington. After briefly practicing on my own, I joined the firm of Deno Millikan, PLLC. At Deno Millikan, I practice primarily in the areas of family law, criminal law, and personal injury. Working with such an experienced group of attorneys with such a broad legal background has allowed me to continue expanding my practice and get the best possible results for my clients.

My favorite cases are pre/postnuptial and co-habitation agreements.  Putting together an agreement like this allows a family to have the hard conversations as a team, rather than as adversaries.  I've found a well prepared family unit doesn't require my services again.. In every case, whether agreed or extremely adversarial, I do my best to see that my client and their family remains as emotionally, psychologically, and financially intact as possible.. In my free time, I'm an avid baker, care-taker for abused and abandonded dogs, and, despite a black-thumb, I hope to start growing herbs. I enjoy spending weekends hosting game nights or hiking with my partner and our dog.

Thank you for reviewing my AVVO profile.  It is my privilege to serve your legal needs.. Law is a second career for me, having already achieved a fulfilling business career in telecommunications.  I graduated from the Seattle University School of Law in 2005, Summa Cum Laude, graduating tenth out of 341 students.  I was an editor on the law review and a published author.. I have a diverse practice with an emphasis on real estate, family law, and personal injury.. I am a long-time resident of Snohomish County, and I look forward to meeting you.  You can find additional information about me on the Deno-Millikan website at .. Once again, thank you for your interest and I look forward to meeting you.

I have a real passion for helping people with what can be the most-difficult experience they will ever face. Let me help you.

Experienced Family Law Attorney.. As a family law attorney, I have had experience representing clients in high-conflict and complex divorces, including parenting cases involving domestic violence and/or substance abuse (or allegations thereof). As an experienced family law attorney, I have had proven success in the courtroom and in mediation, as well as in negotiating equitable settlements outside of either the courtroom or mediation. As a teacher and an attorney, I use my experience in the classroom and outside of law to better understand and anticipate the practical implications of a parenting plan or child support order and to provide clients with legal documents in their divorce that are going to make sense when they put them into action once their divorce is final.. I started C. Fellows Law & Education, pllc to be able to provide clients with more targeted/tailored options for family law services.  I recognize that not everybody going through a divorce can afford (or needs) a full-on attorney who requires a multi-thousand-dollar advance fee.  The bulk of my practice is limited representation options and services that I provide for a flat fee so that family law services are more accessible to individuals who might otherwise not seek out legal counsel.. Experienced Education Advocate and Education Professional.. In addition to being an attorney, I have a background in education and have also earned my Masters of Elementary Education.  I use my legal expertise and my background in education to help families navigate the education system and advocate for their child’s academic success. My experience as a teacher helps me ask the right questions and make suggestions when discussing a student’s academic progress. During my teaching experience, I have been involved in my school’s/district’s Racial and Educational Justice and Inclusionary Practices teams. I know what it’s like to advocate for more culturally competent teaching and greater inclusion of students with disabilities from within the system. As both a teacher and an attorney, I am in a unique position to bridge the gap between the “legalese” written in an IEP or 504 Plan and what teaching practices and accommodations should look like in the classroom in order to help a student make meaningful progress.
