Every client who walks in the door has a different life story, so I never know what the day will bring. Emotions often run high in our type of practice, and it is a challenge for family law attorneys to strike the appropriate balance between compassion and empathy on one hand, and calm objectivity on the other. But, that is precisely what we must do. In family law, we deal with real people, not faceless corporations. For me, it is much more satisfying to help families during the most difficult times in their lives.

Firm: Law Office of Sophia M. Palmer
Practice Areas: Child Custody
Stacey Swenhaugen has established herself as a tenacious litigator and effective problem solver. Known for her determined litigation efforts and bear knuckle work ethic, Stacey has built a solid reputation for getting client's cases solved quickly without compromising core client values. Besides Stacey's effective oral argument, one of her greatest strengths is in her legal writing. Through written advocacy, Stacey effectively helps the Court to understand the strengths in her clients’ position before even stepping foot in the court room.. Despite her ability to advocate aggressively when the situation calls for it, Stacey is a firm believer that not every problem should be treated as a nail that must be hammered. Many family law disputes, particularly those involving children, are better resolved with civility and diligent negotiation outside of the court room. Stacey is passionate about listening to client needs and crafting remedies specific to each families’ unique set of circumstances.. Before joining the Law Offices of Sophia M. Palmer, Stacey worked for a family law firm in King County for three years. As a result, she has an established reputation in King county, and has significant familiarity with the Family Court Commissioners and procedures there. She returned to Pierce County in 2012, where she had started out as a Legal Intern in 2008, for Commissioner Diana Kiesel.. Prior to establishing her legal practice, Stacey volunteered as a King County CASA, investigating child custody disputes. This valuable experience has allowed her to successfully apply her inside knowledge of how GALs and Parenting Evaluators make their decisions in child custody matters.. Stacey graduated from Seattle University School of Law. She obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from the University of Washington. She has over twelve years of experience working directly in the legal industry.. In her free time, Stacey enjoys spending time with her husband and four children, snowboarding, and rooting for the Seahawks.

I was born and raised in the Chicago-land area, and will always consider myself a Chicago girl at heart although I absolutely love living in Seattle. I earned a degree in finance from the University of Illinois and started my career as a futures and options auditor. I went on to become a financial analyst for a couple of years before deciding that I needed a career change where I could more directly work with and help people. I attended law school at Tulane University in New Orleans, and am incredibly proud to have lived in such a diverse, rich, and amazing city. The time I lived in New Orleans was a period of time where the city was filled with unfaltering hope, revitalization, and rejuvenation post-Katrina. I will be forever grateful that I was able to call myself a New Orleanian for three incredible years.. During law school, I interned at the Cook County Criminal Court in Chicago, and at the Northwest Justice Project in Seattle. After graduating from law school, I worked for the Honorable Judge Julie Spector at the King County Superior Court.. I feel very fortunate to be able to say that I love my job. I love being able to help people as they transition from the familiar to the unknown – to an unknown filled with endless possibility. Nothing brings me greater joy in my work than seeing the evolution my clients undergo from the beginning of their case to the conclusion. I think many people are surprised by their own strength and transformations; it’s thrilling to be a part of their journey!. Family law deals with two areas many people hold most dear – their family and their finances. It is a highly emotionally charged area of law, and I enjoy bringing my financial background to the table. It is my job as an attorney to advocate to the best of my ability for my clients, to educate them on the law, and to listen to them when all they need is an ear.. I love music and am a classically trained pianist as well as a saxophone player. A huge sports fan, I am always rooting on my Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and Fighting Illini. After living in the incredible city of New Orleans, I am an avid supporter of any and all things championing the rebuilding of NOLA. My favorite activity outside of the office is spending time with my daughter and my husband. I live with my husband, our daughters.

I have been practicing law since 1983 and I very much enjoy what I do. I meet people at their lowest points, which is the nature of a divorce case, and I do everything I can to help them through this trying time. If children are involved, I urge my clients to emphasize what is best for the children. If the other spouse sees things the same way, this can lead to good outcomes for all concerned. I have a stable of available experts to assist my clients and me such as real estate appraisers, business valuation experts, forensic accountants, forensic psychologists and vocational rehabilitation experts. I work full time and am available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I am also available after hours or on weekends by appointment. As a public service, I do not charge a fee for a potential client's first appointment. I served 20 years in the United States Army Reserve and learned many valuable lessons in that career which I apply to my law practice every day.
