Practice Areas: Family, Divorce, Mediation
When seeking a family law attorney, there are three important factors to consider: experience, knowledge and cost. My practice is exclusively family law. I am sensitive to the emotional nature of family law litigation and am willing to put in the extra effort necessary to achieve a successful result. I am determined to obtain the best outcome for my clients but not reluctant to discourage expensive and unnecessary litigation or to pursue a less costly means to achieve a desired end.

Practice Areas: Divorce, Mediation, Uncontested Divorce, Family, Divorce & Separation, Divorce & Separation, Divorce & Separation, Divorce & Separation, Divorce & Separation, Divorce & Separation, Divorce & Separation
Kirsten Hytopoulos was admitted to the Washington State Bar in 1997. Her interest in an alternative to the traditional winner-take-all approach to the practice of law began in law school where, as Student Bar Association president, she worked with the administration to reduce the high pressure, adversarial nature of the academic environment.. After working as a criminal prosecutor and a college instructor, Kirsten took time off from the law to focus on raising her three children and to work on local political issues, ultimately serving four years on the Bainbridge Island City Council, including one year as Mayor. Following her own amicable divorce, Kirsten returned to the practice of law, choosing to focus on Collaborative Divorce and mediation with the goal of supporting others through difficult life changing transitions.. Kirsten is a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP), King County Collaborative Law, member and former board member of Collaborative Professionals of Washington, and a Certified Mediator with the Washington Mediation Association. She is also a volunteer mediator at the Dispute Resolution Center of Kitsap County and is currently serving in her third term as a City Council Person.

Kelly LeBlanc

Firm: Envision Family Law
1201 Pacific Ave, Suite 1503 , Tacoma , Washington 98402
Practice Areas: Child Custody, Military Law, Divorce, Child Support, Alimony, Family, Prenuptials
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!

Juliana Wong

Firm: Dellino Family Law Group
1011 Western Avenue , Seattle , Washington 98104
Practice Areas: Family, Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support
Juliana U. Wong is the Managing Attorney at Dellino Family Law Group. I focus my practice on family law matters, to which I bring an enthusiastic and dedicated effort to an often highly contentious and painful legal arena. I handle a wide array of matters ranging from complex marital dissolutions and legal separations, parenting plans, relocation actions, high-conflict child custody and child support matters, cohabitation/prenuptial and community property status agreements, and post-dissolution issues, including child support and parenting plan modifications. As a skilled negotiator and litigator, I look to manage cases initially with the intent towards equitable settlement, but has dependable, confident and proven courtroom skills if a matter must be resolved by litigation.. My Approach. I have always held steadfast to the following quote: “Educators take something simple and make it complicated. Communicators take something complicated and make it simple.” Especially in one of the most trying times in a person’s life, communication is an essential foundation in my practice, allowing me to help my clients navigate through the divorce process, which can be overwhelming and emotionally draining. Building trust with my client is a bedrock to my cases and the only way to achieve this is through effective communication.. Background. Having litigated in both large and small firms for over twenty-years, I have garnered a set of skills which give me the knowledge to excel not only in the courtroom, but to negotiate settlements which are in the best interests of my client, and the family as whole. I have also acted as a private mediator for the last five years, allowing me to give back to my community and to assist with the legal talents afforded to me.. About Me. Although born in Germany, I have lived in the Seattle area nearly all my life. I currently live in the Eastside with my husband, Bill, and our son, Emerson. Two daughters have flown the nest and are doing well away at school. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, brunching, and outdoor activities. My other passions include enjoying a nice walk with my family and our dog, Milo, a friendly game of poker, and taking in a great play or show. I love independent films and the theatre.
