The attorneys at Elise Buie Family Law Group, PLLC are passionate, creative problem-solvers with a heart for your family's future.. Elise began her legal career as a Federal Judicial Law Clerk to the Honorable Stanwood R. Duval, Jr. of the Eastern District of Louisiana. Elise then went on to join a litigation practice at Blue Williams in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina swept through New Orleans forcing the evacuation of Elise and her family initially to Georgia, then to Minnesota and finally landing in Seattle. After undergoing her own divorce and multiple relocations due to Hurricane Katrina and truly understanding what it meant to put the “best interest of the kids” ahead of her own, Elise decided to focus her practice on family law and serving as a Guardian ad Litem advocating for children’s best interest in high-conflict divorce and dependency matters.. Elise strives to preserve civility and respect during the divorce process and to reduce conflict and its impact on parents and their children. She educates her clients on the impact of conflict on the children so that her clients can make the best decisions possible for the future health of their children. She works closely with her clients to ensure that they understand their options and rights so that they can make informed decisions about their future.. From her Guardian ad Litem practice Elise developed a breadth of experience dealing with high-conflict families, which she brings to every family law case she handles. Elise’s goal is to serve each client on an individual basis knowing that no two families are alike so no two solutions are the same. Elise strives to find real-life workable solutions for the families she serves realizing that a marriage might be over but a family still stands. She also has the needed attention to detail and experience required to manage complex financial cases.. HIn her free time, Elise enjoys spending time with her amazing husband, Doug Russell, and their large blended-family, which consists of six children (the modern day Brady Bunch) and five pets. They enjoy boating, football games, lacrosse games and relaxing on Whidbey Island.. Elise’s “Must Read” ResourcesElise F. Buie Attorney, Guardian ad Litem, Mother of 4, Step-Mother of 2.

911 Pacific Ave , Tacoma , Washington 98402 Zip code: 98402

Practice Areas: Medical Malpractice

As a child, Elizabeth learned firsthand the devastating impact of medical negligence when her uncle was paralyzed as a result of a physician’s gross error. When the medical provider failed to accept responsibility, her uncle was forced to hire a medical malpractice attorney. The attorney demanded accountability from the physician and obtained justice for her uncle. The resulting settlement allowed her uncle to live an independent and meaningful life, with access to adapted vehicles and the modification of his home. Elizabeth was struck by how the plaintiff’s attorney leveled the playing field for her uncle against the medical provider and his insurer.. More than twenty years after her uncle was paralyzed, Elizabeth is trying to level the playing field for her seriously injured clients. Since joining PCVA after law school, Elizabeth has dedicated her practice to helping people who, like her uncle, have suffered catastrophic damages at the hands of others.. While at PCVA, Elizabeth has been co-counsel in many successful cases, including a $5,425,000 settlement for a woman seriously injured after being struck by a motor vehicle, a $1.4 million medical negligence settlement in Eastern Washington, and a $3.4 million settlement for a brain-damaged toddler. Additionally, Elizabeth obtained a $300,000 verdict on behalf of a student diagnosed with autism who was aggressively harassed and bullied by fellow high school students, resulting in longstanding psychological trauma. While acting as lead counsel, she also won an important verdict against a hospital for negligently discharging a patient suffering mental illness who subsequently injured himself.. Elizabeth is a proud graduate of the University of Puget Sound with degrees in French and International Affairs. After working for several years, Elizabeth attended the University of Washington School of Law. In recent years, Elizabeth has served as President of Pierce County’s chapter of Washington Women Lawyers and is the current co-chair of the Washington Association for Justice’s “Women of WSAJ” group. She is also a member of the Honorable Robert J. Bryan Inn of Court in Tacoma. She, along with several of her PCVA colleagues, volunteers with Volunteer Legal Services’ Housing Justice Project. Elizabeth also volunteers for the University of Puget Sound by participating in Admissions events and the ASK Network, and has served as a volunteer judge for mock trials at local law schools.
