Lincoln Miller

Firm: Lincoln Miller, PLLC
4566 Flying Goat Ave NE C120 , Bainbridge Island , Washington 98110
Practice Areas: Civil, General Practice, Estate Planning
My practice provides clients with personal legal services in estate planning, real estate and business planning. I use a non-traditional style of doing business that is designed to meet clients' needs when they arise, through responsiveness and efficient, one-on-one communication.. ---. I'm a Missouri Tiger, having graduated from the University of Missouri, with a BS in Business Administration in 1992 and my JD in 1995.  I'm often asked how I ended up in Poulsbo.  It's a long story, but for starters, check the heat index in Missouri in August and the wind chill factor in February.. I enjoy the practice of law, but I love my family.  Consequently, I work from both my commerical office in Poulsbo and my home office in Seattle, as this allows me to be available for my family, instead of commuting several hours daily in my car or on the ferry.  A normal work week for me finds me in Poulsbo two to three days each week on average. Those days are spent primarily meeting with clients or in court. Because I'm often returning home on the Winslow ferry, it's not uncommon for me to schedule meetings with Bainbridge clients at their home or place of business at the end of a day. My days in my home office are production days where I'm preparing work product for clients. However, my use of technology allows me to be flexible for client needs, remaining available to clients for phone calls or Skype meetings.

Randi Johnson

Firm: Gravis Law
1309 W Dean Ave , Spokane , Washington 99201
Practice Areas: Social Security
Attorney Randi Johnson focuses her law practice on a range of disability law issues. Since 2007, she has advocated on behalf of the disabled in their claims for Service-Connected Veterans benefits, Social Security Disability Insurance and SSI benefits. She has significant experience, ranging from Initial Applications through Federal District Court appeals. Randi has covered 39 states and Puerto Rico, handling over 1500 Social Security hearings. In 2010, the Veterans Administration certified Randi as an accredited attorney to take claims on behalf of Veterans.. Over the course of her practice, Randi observed that many disabled clients were simultaneously applying for multiple benefits programs. Rather than force a client to seek additional attorneys to handle all their cases, Randi decided to augment the focus areas of her disability practice. We provide clients the opportunity to have one Legal Team handle these sensitive issues and reduces the need to repeat their stories over and over again to different attorneys. This is especially critical with individuals who have experienced significant emotional and/or physical traumas.. Having practiced in both the large and small firm environments, Randi’s experience guides her advocacy and service for her clients. Randi believes in getting to know her clients. It is important to Randi that her clients understand the claims process, and that each individual client is provided with the information necessary to make informed decisions about their case/s. Randi makes it a priority to see that a client feels they were provided the opportunity to exercise their rights, win or lose – regardless of the outcome.. Outside the office, Randi stays very busy with her husband and children. She enjoys international and domestic travel, her Audible account, road cycling (and more recently her Peloton) and has completed the STP – Seattle to Portland bike classic twice.

Awarded "Best of 2018 Divorce Lawyer." I have been a lawyer for over twenty-eight years, because I thoroughly enjoy helping others. From January 2011 to April 2013, I served as a Pierce County Superior Court Commissioner. I presided over family law, probate/estate, guardianship, mental illness, juvenile court, landlord tenant, mortage foreclosure, and other matters. I chose to leave the bench and to return to private practice. I missed lawyering and directly helping others. I still occasionally serve as  Pierce County Superior Court Commissioner Pro Tempore.. My practice focuses primarily on divorce, legal separation, child custody, and child support issues. I represent clients in high-conflict litigation as well as in collaborative mediation. I also serve as a mediator. My prior experience as a social worker and my mediation skills are essential to helping others to handle stress and to focus on long-term goals.. Serving on the bench has sharpened my ability to present an objective perspective and to assist a potential client in evaluating outcomes. I provide an initial free one half hour consultation. After that, I charge my pro-rated hourly rate. My goal is to clearlyl explian the applicable law, our court system, the processes of divorce and legal separation, the available roptions (uncontested, contested-litigated, and contested collaborative), and the like. I want to answer all of your questions and help you to create an action plan.. I have served as President of our county bar association, and I am a founding member of Collaborative Professionals of Pierce County.  I continue to be involved with a variety of boards and committees. When I am not busy with clients or bar association activities, I enjoy time with my husband, my many pets, and my piano.

Practice Areas: Family
Shana E. Thompson has achieved success by listening carefully, understanding her clients’ long-term objectives, and helping resolve dissolutions as amicably and expeditiously as possible. In 2022, she received a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating, awarded to only those lawyers with the highest ethical standards and professional ability.. For 24+ years, Shana E. Thompson has been proudly serving individuals in family law cases throughout the cities of Seattle, Everett, and Kent. Since COVID, she has expanded her work in Washington to counties such as Clallam and Whatcom. Her client base has been built through hard work and determination, allowing her to become what she is today. She takes great pride in providing top-level service and promises your complete satisfaction when you choose her to handle your family law needs.. As with many Northwesterners, Shana is a dog person. Where she goes, so go her four-legged friends. She finds it so sad that in divorces, the court treats pets as property. When there is a dispute, the court generally places a value on your pet, gives that pet to one spouse, and provides the other spouse an “offset” in the rest of the property division for the monetary value of your pet. Shana knows that you cannot put a price on a loved one, and will do everything possible to help her clients protect their relationships with their pets. She has devised pet visitation schedules for past clients—something which can only be done through mediation.. Often, when parents separate, one parent relocates out of Washington State and long-distance transportation of children becomes something many clients have to coordinate. It is a challenge with which Shana is personally familiar, having been to the airport at 4 a.m. with her unaccompanied minor. She knows the anxiety of putting your child on a plane and the long absences that follow. She empathizes with her clients, and is right there, ready to assist in arranging the best possible long distance residential schedules for their children.. Shana is dedicated to providing you with the right services for all your divorce needs. Shana is always learning, educating herself on the latest court cases and changes to statutes that affect the practice of family law. Shana advises her clients on the current law and the effect it will have on your case.. Since 2000, I have assisted families navigate through the litigation process, both in court and through alternative dispute resolution.  I have litigated hearings and trials in King and Snohomish County for over twenty years.  I have represented clients in countless mediations and arbitrations, and have performed as a mediator as well.  I have volunteered as a CASA, investigating the needs of children, then writing reports for and testifying before judicial officers as to what is in the best interest of a child.  I attempt to resolve matters with less conflict whenever possible.  I can assist with divorce, legal separation, paternity, parenting plan modifications, child support and maintenance modifications, domestic violence protection orders, prenuptial agreements, and restraining orders.

Firm: Alliance Law Group PS
5316 Orchard Street W , University Place , Washington 98467
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
A mentor once told me that when you start law school, you do not realize that many of the clients you will serve are coming to see you at the lowest point in their lives.  That has proven to be sage advice.  I have served clients who are charged with a crime, who have just experienced the loss of a loved one, and who are going through a divorce or separation.  I have had the opportunity to help clients through happier times as well, such as adoptions, and sometimes my work involves trying to avoid problems in the future, such as estate planning.  But overall, I understand that most often clients are coming to see me in times of crisis.  A figurative “earthquake” has happened in their lives, and I strive to guide my clients through the recovery process by serving as a zealous and objective legal advocate and counselor.. Family Law is a passion for me.  I started my career at a law firm which exclusively handled domestic relations work.  Since then, I have moved to a general practice law firm which has been established in Pierce County for more than 60 years.  This gives me the opportunity to work with other cases outside of Family Law, but I still devote approximately 80% of my practice to domestic relations cases.  I love the interaction with people that Family Law brings and the challenge of problem solving it entails.  Serving  as a Pro Tem Commissioner in the Pierce County Superior Court for four or five days, and sometimes more, each year during the last four years has broadened my perspective and helps me give my clients seasoned advice since I have seen many cases from the "other side" of the bench.  This helps provide advice on probable outcomes should they go to court.. While virtually all cases involve some sort of court appearance by the attorney, most Family Law cases settle without a full contested trial.  I work very hard with clients and opposing counsel or parties to resolve their cases short of trial.  The clients often benefit by keeping their fees lower and controlling the outcome of their case.  I strive to make sure my client is fully educated about their options and there are those cases which cannot settle and strategic advocacy is required all the way through trial.  I enjoy being in the courtroom and am happy to roll up my sleeves and provide you with a spirited representation at trial and even on appeal if necessary.  I have tried many cases over the years at the Superior Court level, and have handled several cases in the Court of Appeals.  I have successfully defended positive and overturned negative outcomes from trial on Appeal.. It is also a pleasure to handle certain cases outside of the Family Law context.  I feel it to be a great compliment when clients I have helped in a domestic case return and ask me to assist them in another area of law, providing services which could range from, among other things,  preparing a will, defending them in a civil suit, or drawing up real estate agreements.. I appreciate the opportunity to serve clients with a wide range of legal needs, and I value the trust they place in my counsel and representation.  I look forward to continuing to provide compassionate and vigorous advocacy for many years to come.

Practice Areas: Real Estate
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and after attending law school at the University of Notre Dame, I practiced in a large law firm in Chicago where I practiced in the commercial litigation and intellectual property sections.  During my time in Chicago, I was exposed to many different styles of attorneys.  What impressed me the most were those attorneys who not only knew the law very well, but also took the time to get to know their clients personally, and thus serve their best needs.. Since moving back to the Northwest, I have created a practice that has a reputation for quality service and affordability.  With every client that I meet, I want to establish a long term relationship.  I understand that choosing a lawyer is a difficult decision.  Clients want to feel comfortable and confident with who they choose, so that when new problems arise, they know they have someone that they can trust to advise them.  Although many of my clients come to me initially for a specific problem, I have developed relationships with them that have developed into years of representation for all of their needs.  If I do not practice in a particular area, I have a number of referrals to other local attorneys who can.

Hamilton Gardiner

Firm: Holmquist & Gardiner PLLC

Practice Areas: Business, Construction, Real Estate, Litigation
In 1965 my family founded a manufacturing company in Tukwila and continued to operate it throughout my school years. From that young age, I saw that owning and operating your own business is stressful and requires constant attention, but can also be extremely rewarding.. With family business part of my daily life, it was natural for me to seek a major in business administration. I graduated from the University of Washington with a B.A. in Business Administration focusing on Entrepreneurship and a minor in Political Science.. During the course of my legal education, I realized that businesspersons evolve their practices due to an ever-changing collection of laws and regulations, which can be challenging, and disputes are sometimes inevitable. Having an attorney who understands the inside of a courtroom, as well as the intricacies of owning and managing a business, is a significant advantage.. My daily goal is to be a value-added partner and trusted adviser to my clients. To accomplish this I get to know the inner workings of my clients’ business, their employees, and customers. When an issue arises, I am able to identify the optimal way to achieve a client’s objectives, in light of the stakes involved. Nothing gets me more excited than to see my clients succeed and to know I was able to have a positive impact on their business.. Education. Bar Admissions. Community Engagement. Recent Representative Matters. Reported Cases
