Jacqueline is licensed in both Washington state and the province of Ontario in Canada. She started practicing in Ontario in 1996. After moving to the US, and taking time to raise her three children, she returned to law as a paralegal in Washington state in 2011 when her own marriage ended. While working full-time in a busy family law firm, she earned her LLM from Seattle University in 2020, and became a member of the Washington State Bar in 2021.. In Canada, Jacqueline practiced family law for over 7 years, specializing in high net worth, highly contentious cases for division of assets including family businesses, litigating the enforceability of pre-nuptial and settlement agreements, and appearing in front of the BC Court of Appeals on a Hague Convention child abduction case. She was part of a team that took a child custody matter up to the Supreme Court of Canada. She has written and presented papers on various aspects of family law including finding hidden assets.. In the US, Jacqueline took time off to raise her 3 (now mostly adult) children, volunteering in their classrooms, and leading two girl scout troops. After seeing “the other side of the desk” and experiencing her own divorce in Washington state, she went back to school: first, to be trained as a life coach; and second, to obtain an LLM for Foreign Attorneys from Seattle University.. Jacqueline is passionate about helping clients understand and navigate the divorce process including parenting plans, custody, child support, division of assets, spousal maintenance and makes every endeavor to keep the process as amicable as possible. Whether it is explaining the intricacies of the law to those looking to divorce, assisting clients in mediation, or representing their interests in motions court or trial, she strives to find creative solutions that are unique to each client and their family.As a trained life coach and attorney, she is an excellent listener. She understands most parents want to minimize the impact of their separation on their children and to resolve their disputes privately and cost-effectively. Her training as a life coach assists her in understanding the family dynamics, keeping the resolution process as amicable as possible, and assisting her clients through both the legal and emotional hurdles of divorce.. When she is not working, she can be found “throwing rocks” at the local curling club; she was honored to represent Washington State at the Mixed Nationals in Denver, Colorado in 2019! She also enjoys spending time with her children and her two Havanese dogs, skiing, reading, and exploring restaurants around town.

Firm: Seattle Divorce Services

2317 NW Market Street , Seattle , Washington 98107

Practice Areas: Family

My personal philosophy is to never add conflict to a family law case. The parties involved have often had difficulty with effective communication and I view it as part of my job to facilitate and even strengthen communications as the parties work towards a resolution. I believe much more is accomplished through civility than bullying.. For me, life is about the relationships we have with one another. The relationships we have with our family members, even after a separation or divorce, will persist for years or even decades. The relationships we have with our children need to be protected and cherished.. The same is true for me in my approach to practicing law. I make my relationships with clients a priority. In order to be an effective advocate, it is critical that we develop a trusting and honest connection. I also value my relationships with opposing counsel and other members of the bar. I have found that thoughtful analysis, combined with respectful communications with the other side can often resolve even the most difficult situations.

Jason Benjamin has spent the past 22 years of his legal career (since 1995) immersing himself in the intricacies of family law and particularly child custody cases.  He has personally handled more than 1000 cases where child custody is at issue.. He particularly welcomes families who have emergency custody, domestic violence or restraining order issues, as he can typically obtain appropriate orders within hours to protect you and the children.. From the beginning of his legal career, Jason has aggressively advocated on behalf of victims of domestic violence (even when domestic violence was not treated seriously by the courts).  He understands the complexities of domestic violence such as why victims often return to abusers or leave their children with abusers before they make the final decision to permanently leave the abuser.. Jason utilizes his years of experience in the trenches of hard fought child custody trials to competently advise parties on the best route to tackle complicated and intertwined issues of mental health (particularly cluster b personality disorders such as histrionic, borderline, narcissistic and anti-social) and chemical dependency (particularly abuse of alcohol, opiates, methamphetamines and benzodiazepines).. When it comes to the courtroom, Jason is extremely comfortable and puts his clients at ease.  There is no case too complex or too extreme for Jason to be willing to take it on.  He is known by his colleagues for his confidence and persuasive argumentative skills and his trial experience is nothing short of prodigious.  Many lawyers in the community are aware of his trial advocacy and often refer their clients to him for cases that are headed for trial.. Jason left Omak, Washington at 18 years of age and went off to the big city of Chicago where he attended Northwestern University.  After obtaining his BA in Philosophy, he came back to Washington State and graduated from Seattle University School of Law in 1995.  He and his wife have two daughters and enjoy various outdoor adventures.
