Firm: Seattle Divorce Services

2317 NW Market St , Seattle , Washington

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

One of the states in which I am admitted licenses me not only as an attorney but also a “Counsellor at Law”. I best counsel my clients as a supportive but calm buffer during their time of stress and emotion. With over 40 years in practice, I can clarify what seem to be incomprehensible procedures and legal gibberish to my clients, and explain how their facts fit into the legal factors the court weighs in deciding the issues.. If safety is not an overriding concern, I believe my client’s best interests (both emotional and financial) are served by negotiating agreed orders when possible, minimizing the mudslinging common in contested hearings. When hearings are necessary, my background as an accomplished debater, and writing skills derived as a legal writing instructor and Harvard English major, both help persuade the court.. In addition to full representation, I also offer hourly advice / drafting ("unbundled") legal services to individuals representing themselves. When the parties have their own attorneys but are unable to reach agreement, I have also served as mediator in settlement conferences since 1997.. Life is not all work, though. In my free time, I like digital photography, paddling a kayak, hiking, squash, tennis, cross-country skiing --- and playing Wii tennis, baseball, and bowling. Finally, I love tasty food and drink enjoyed with my wife and other good friends.. Favorite quote (from the late Judge McCutcheon, during a trial several years ago): “There’s still room in the law for common sense.”

For me, family is incredibly important.  My parents both come from families with 11 children (I currently have 34 aunts and uncles and over 100 cousins!) and I have always loved coming from a big family.  Because of this, I have chosen to focus my law practice on two areas that deeply affect families.. The first area I practice in, is family law.  I work with clients who need help with divorce, spousal maintenance (alimony), child custody, child support, or adoption.  When parents divorce it is a pivotal time for all members of the family and having the right attorney can make all the diffrence.  I have worked with clients to quickly and efficiently dissolve their marriage and resolve child custody and support issues amicably, but I have also had to fight tooth and nail for my clients to protect them from a spouse that is over-reaching and trying to take more than their fair share.  Regardless of the issues involved, I can help.. I also work with clients to protect and preserve the wealth they have have accumulated so they can pass it on to their children and grand children or pass it on to other charitable causes that are near and dear to their heart.  While many people believe estate planning is only for the rich and famous, everyone can benefit from having a plan in place to protect their wealth, provide for custody of their children, and prepare for the only two certainties in life, death and taxes.
