I have been an attorney for over 35 years and have been serving the Seattle metropolitan area for over 20 years. I graduated from Simmons College in Boston, Massachusetts with a B.A in history and later obtained my Juris Doctor from the University Of Maryland School of Law.. My legal career began with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare as a lawyer representing the federal government in Black Lung suits. After a short time, I transitioned into representing the Welfare program in the Federal Court of Appeals. In my most cited case, Soberal-Perez v. Schweiker, I represented the Social Security Administration in a lawsuit over disability benefit notices being in languages other than English.. After I met my husband, we moved to Washington with our six children. I obtained a position with the Washington State Court of Appeals Division I as a staff attorney doing research and general support for the Court. I soon left the court in 1993 and pursued a career in the private sector with Culp, Guterson, and Grader and with Foster Pepper where I was of counsel. At Foster Pepper, I represented Eva Bandy in the nationally renowned case Bandy v. Bandy, dealing with wiretapping. After I left Foster Pepper in 1994, I decided to start my own firm, The Law Offices of Natalie de Maar.. My personal experience with divorce and raising my own children and step children has had a profound effect on my practice. I am a compassionate and skilled lawyer who is sensitive to my clients’ needs and tough in the courtroom. I work tirelessly to help my clients achieve a fair result, and help them through the difficult and emotional process of resolving disputes.. I look forward to working with you for your family law needs.

My practice focuses on family law and divorce. I worked as a prosecutor for a major metropolitan area in southern California before working as a prosecutor in King County Washington. I have experience with accounting and businesses practices, having prosecuted many financial fraud cases. I have years of courtroom experience trying complicated high profile criminal cases. This trial experience and background with complicated financial cases compliment and benefit my family law practice. My 25 years of experience, combined with my knowledge of family law means you will get the best representation possible.. My criminal background is also provides clients an advantage in family law matters where there are allegations of domestic violence, criminal behavior or a protection order is being requested.. Although I am more than qualified and competent to present your case in court, I know the value of settling cases out of court. I have settled hundreds of cases directly with the other party, the other attorney or through the use of mediators and try to reach fair settlements wherever possible. If we cannot reach a fair agreement or settlement and a court appearance or trial is necessary, my courtroom experience is invaluable.

Choosing an attorney is little different than choosing a doctor, accountant, mechanic, or any other professional that can turn out to be a blessing or a burden. Try to take time to interview a couple different attorneys before making a decision. Ask people you know, read advertisements, and use whatever information you can get. In the end it will be how well you communicate with the attorney that will make a huge difference. It is also important that the person you choose is capable to achieve your goals - you may not know if your attorney can do this until it is too late. Unfortunately, none of the statistics on this website (length of time in practice, publications, solicited testimonials, etc) can really determine competency of your attorney. Once hired, keep analyzing your attorney and change attorneys if needed, don’t wait until it is too late.

Natalie Roberts has spent the entirety of her legal career mastering her skills in family law. She is well distinguished in the legal community and known for her persistent, intelligent and strategic litigation – both in the court room and in negotiations.. When hand-crafting her legal arguments for the court room, Natalie keeps her client’s quality of life and financial stability at the forefront. She understands that every decision/request throughout a case can have major life impacts on her clients such as transporting your children to and from exchanges, ensuring you have enough spousal maintenance to pay your monthly bills, or protecting your assets to ensure the other party does not dispose of them. These details are all important. For these reasons, Natalie takes time to meet with her clients and go over every aspect of the case and her proposed strategies. Natalie firmly believes that success in or out of the courtroom requires a strong, collaborative working relationship with her clients.. Experience and a good reputation also helps when negotiating with the opposing counsel/party. She understands that not every case is meant for the courtroom and will often suggest mediation or initiating negotiations. Mediation can be, and most often is, a place where two very disagreeable parties can reach an agreement. Reaching an agreement usually means both parties can move on with their lives quicker and in a more positive atmosphere versus going to trial, which is extremely stressful for clients and their family/friends.. While reaching an agreement is generally the preferred outcome, that does not always happen. In that situation, Natalie is prepared. She is not shy in the courtroom and has represented clients in all facets of family law trials. Natalie has the attention to detail, work ethic, and knowledge to handle difficult, complex cases at trial.. Prior to working at Envision Family Law, Natalie worked for several years at a high-volume law firm in Seattle. Having worked for several years primarily in the Seattle area, Natalie established an excellent relationship with other attorneys in King County and is a familiar face to the judges and commissioners on the bench. Natalie’s practice is not limited to King County and she has significant experience in Snohomish County and Pierce County as well.. Natalie graduated Cum Laude from Seattle University School of Law in 2009. Prior to law school, Natalie attended the University of Tulsa and received a Bachelor of Arts degree, Cum Laude, in English Literature. Natalie was a member of the Division One University of Tulsa track and cross-country teams. Natalie still enjoys running in her spare time. Natalie also enjoys sailing, skiing, and other outdoor activities with her family.

As a family law attorney, much of my work is with people going through a divorce, or otherwise seeking help with ending a relationship. I try to assist my divorce clients with an eye towards sustainability and long-term wellbeing. In other words: I want to help you figure out not only how to bring one chapter of your life to a close, but how to begin the next one.. In addition to my divorce practice, I am interested in working with individuals and families in the early stages of relationships. There is a lot of space for creative and intentional work in constructing and defining family structures going in. Everyone’s family is different, and I am a big believer in broad and inclusive interpretations of what family means. Many of us identify strongly with the notion of investing in a family of choice, and I want to support that in any way I can.. Regardless of why you come to see me, I will listen without judgment to where you’ve been, what you’ve done, and how you’d like things to go. I will be honest with you about what I think is possible, what I think is likely, and what I think is wise. I will strive to understand your needs. Most importantly, I will do my utmost to work with you and think creatively about how we can move you from wherever you are now to wherever you want to be.
