Divorce and Custody Lawyer in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. Hello, my name is Matthew Yetter, and I am the founder and lead attorney at Seacoma Law, PLLC. We have offices in Tacoma and Seattle. I provide individualized attention to each client that consults with and hires me on their case. Throughout my career I have represented hundreds of clients in divorce, custody, and other family law matters. My practice has and continues to be focused in King and Pierce counties. In fact, our offices in Tacoma and Seattle are within a few blocks of the courthouse. This is important because divorce, custody and family law matters are exclusively heard in the superior court.. Your Case is Important. Family law disputes can be extremely stressful, taking an emotional and financial toll on the family. I recognize this and advocate to minimize the damage caused by these situations. Clients are encouraged to discuss their questions and concerns about their situation with me, and I provide them with candid and compassionate advice. While there may be similarities from case to case, I have found that each person I meet with is an individual with varying interests and their own story to tell. Whether your case is a high conflict or a relatively uncontested, I will take the time to listen to you, discuss your options and help you decide the best course of action. Because hiring the right attorney is so important, I am offering you a no cost 30-minute consultation to evaluate your case.. I Understand the Importance of Family. When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife, five children and our dog. I love being outdoors with my family, camping, hiking, fishing etc. I am a sports fan and enjoy going to games with my kids. My wife and I enjoy the theater and are subscribers at The 5th Avenue Theater and Broadway at the Paramount.. Education. I received my Juris Doctorate from the Willamette University College of Law where I received multiple academic awards. Prior to law school I attended Southern Utah University.

Kelly LeBlanc has been practicing law for over 35 years.  She has been admitted to practice in five (5) jurisdictions and appeared on behalf of litigants at the state and federal level.   She served as an Administrative Health Law Judge with the Department of Health and worked as a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) in Pierce County many years before joining Envision Family Law Group as Senior Counsel.  When the Court was faced with particularly difficult cases, Kelly was often designated to investigate and provide recommendations on how best to protect the interests of the child(ren) involved.. As a GAL, Kelly served as the court’s designated expert in hundreds of cases relating to child custody.  She was routinely subject to cross-examination in contested family law proceedings and experienced trial tactics by dozens of her colleagues both as a witness and advocate.   While serving as a Health Law Judge for the Department of Health, Kelly presided over licensing and disciplinary proceedings involving medical doctors, dentists, therapists and other health care providers facing charges under the Uniform Disciplinary Act.  In this role, Kelly was charged with the responsibility for making evidentiary rulings and ensuring fairness and integrity in conduct of proceedings.. Kelly has not only experienced what it feels like from the witness box, she has also experienced the challenges facing the fact finders in judicial proceedings.  Thus, Kelly understands the importance of preparing cases in a way that will afford her the ability to defend her work and recommendations down to the smallest detail and her experience as GAL provides her with a unique vantage point, or “head start”, from which to prepare her own clients.. When Kelly is in the courtroom, she dominates with her smart, direct and thorough legal arguments while maintaining the utmost professionalism.   Kelly tempers her natural perfectionism with efficiency, yet takes the time to ensure that her clients are well-informed throughout each aspect of the case.  Her skill and work ethic is widely respected within the legal community.  While serving as a neutral investigator, Kelly established herself as someone who could be trusted and along with that, developed good rapport with the Judges, Commissioners, and supporting staff.   Kelly has a wide range of experience which helps her formulate arguments, theories, and themes that resonate with the Court.   Kelly has a deep understanding of the issues confronting families during divorce and custody cases and can provide seasoned advice on how to address concerns with domestic violence, chemical dependency, or complex medical or mental health issues.  She has in-depth knowledge of programs and resources available through DSHS, JBLM Family Advocacy and a well-developed network of private resources who provide support and assistance for families and children facing difficult times.. Kelly and her husband came to Washington in 1995.  They have had the joy (“most of the time,” says Kelly) of raising six children but are now "empty nesters" and grandparents!  Three of her children still reside here in Washington so that made the transition from "full house" to a "much roomier (and generally cleaner) one" a little easier.   Kelly and her husband both enjoy cooking though she admits: “I like cooking even more when he does it.” During her leisure time, she loves hosting family and friends at social gatherings or taking off to go camping.  She also enjoys running, hiking, bicycling, hanging out with friends, and simply relaxing with a good book when she’s not working.. Don't forget to ask about Kelly's special reduced rates for active duty military members!

As a child of divorced parents, Katrina considers herself to have started her career in family law as a young teen and has used her personal experiences to sharpen her legal skills. Family law has been, and continues to be, the sole focus of her practice.. Katrina earned her B.A. In Psychology with a minor in Political Science from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA, and her J.D. from Seattle University School of Law.. Katrina officially began exploring her passion during law school, by volunteering with the King County Bar Association Pro Bono services. There she supported unrepresented litigants by walking them through their sensitive divorce and custody procedures, as well as those striving for third-party custody of loved ones. As if that did not fill her cup enough, Katrina was then fortunate to work alongside her first mentor, solo family law practitioner Helene Ellenbogen, which exposed her to complex financial litigation and high-conflict parenting plan issues.. After passing the bar in 2017, Katrina went into private practice and has been representing clients in family law matters in Thurston, Lewis, Grays Harbor, and Mason Counties.. Through her experiences, Katrina learned how overwhelming even the most “simple” process could look to families and has taken this outlook with her while engaging with her current clients. She is especially cognizant of the fact that litigation does not occur in a vacuum; its effects reverberate through every aspect of a client’s life and into their future.
