Hi, I’m Katrina Zafiro. I was born and raised in the Philippines until my family immigrated to California in the early 1990s. While living in the Bay Area, I worked as an educator for the Oak Grove School District, the Eastside High School Union School District and the University of California-Santa Cruz. I worked with Sony as a linguist helping to develop voice recognition software. I also worked as a volunteer and educator for several nonprofit organizations, including Catholic Charities and the Indo-Chinese Resettlement and Community Center where I worked with refugees and immigrants. These roles helped me realize that I wanted to help people and make a positive difference in their futures.. When I visited Seattle, I immediately fell in love with the city’s vibrancy, enthusiasm, and diverse multicultural population. I already knew that I wanted to be an attorney dedicated to family and immigration law, so I enrolled in the University of Washington School of Law.. While in law school, I worked as a legal intern in the Family Law Unit of Columbia Legal Services and the Self-Help Plus Program of the King County Bar Association. I also volunteered for the Northwest Justice Project and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.. Prior to starting my own firm, I worked for two prominent law firms in the Puget Sound Area in the areas of complex business litigation and class action lawsuits. Then—less than two years after earning my law degree from the University of Washington School of Law—I realized a dream by opening my own practice dedicated exclusively to immigration and family law.. Being a sole practitioner, I enjoy the rare opportunity to get to know my clients and meet their needs.. As an immigrant, I am deeply committed to helping immigrants navigate the complex U.S. legal system. My dedication to family law has guided me to serve as a volunteer teacher on divorce law at the King County Courthouse.

As a child of divorced parents, Katrina considers herself to have started her career in family law as a young teen and has used her personal experiences to sharpen her legal skills. Family law has been, and continues to be, the sole focus of her practice.. Katrina earned her B.A. In Psychology with a minor in Political Science from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA, and her J.D. from Seattle University School of Law.. Katrina officially began exploring her passion during law school, by volunteering with the King County Bar Association Pro Bono services. There she supported unrepresented litigants by walking them through their sensitive divorce and custody procedures, as well as those striving for third-party custody of loved ones. As if that did not fill her cup enough, Katrina was then fortunate to work alongside her first mentor, solo family law practitioner Helene Ellenbogen, which exposed her to complex financial litigation and high-conflict parenting plan issues.. After passing the bar in 2017, Katrina went into private practice and has been representing clients in family law matters in Thurston, Lewis, Grays Harbor, and Mason Counties.. Through her experiences, Katrina learned how overwhelming even the most “simple” process could look to families and has taken this outlook with her while engaging with her current clients. She is especially cognizant of the fact that litigation does not occur in a vacuum; its effects reverberate through every aspect of a client’s life and into their future.

Hi there and thanks for visiting my page! Let me tell you a little bit about my practice.. For over 27 years, I have worked tirelessly for clients throughout King County.. Divorce and family law is a very emotional area of the law, and I have worked exclusively in this area. I am committed to providing as much support as possible to all my clients. My goal is to get you through this process as smoothly as possible. Sometimes we will need to get the court's input on issues and other times we will be able to work out agreements with the other party. Working out agreements that are fair and equitable and in the best interest of your children, if applicable, is always the best option and makes this process much more bearable for you. However, if we need to go to court then so be it and we will do it together!. I began working in family law in 1998 for another attorney in King County. In 2003, I opened my own law office. In 2014, I decided to move my office to my home in Auburn.. Because I am a sole practitioner and work out of my home, I am able to spend as much time as needed, whenever needed, on each of my cases. I often have phone conferences in the evenings and weekends to accommodate my clients' schedules. Shoot me an email and we can set up a time to chat!. Thanks so much for taking time to review my page:)

I grew up in Sammamish, Washington. I love the beautiful northwest and am excited to be working close to home. Family has always been important to me. My parents, who both worked as volunteers to improve education standards in Washington State, taught me the value of being involved in my community. Following their example, I decided to seek a career where I could be of service to others. I spent eighteen months in Guatemala where I participated in humanitarian work and learned to love Latin American culture and the Spanish language. After I returned, my love of reading and writing naturally led me to study law at Brigham Young University. While in law school, I became a Lead Editor for BYU Law Review. As a Lead Editor, I worked with law professors around the country to publish professional articles. I love using the legal writing skills that I developed through this experience to persuasively advocate for others. I am excited now to be a member of Ashby Law's legal team. I am happy to be part of a network of experienced attorneys that is focused on helping families with hard work and compassion.

I am passionate about being a strong advocate for clients during challenging times in their lives.  I understand how important family is, and will work with you to protect your rights and interests without adding unnecessarily to the stress, animosity, and chaos that can affect a family going through a divorce, custody disagreement, or other legal action.  My practice welcomes all clients, but has a particular emphasis on addressing the unique needs of survivors of domestic violence, military families, and LGBTQ families facing discrimination or extra hurdles.. Happy times can be challenging too, and I enjoy helping families that are expanding through adoption or assisted reproduction, as well as working out agreements between new partners who want to avoid future conflict.. I am an active volunteer with the King County Bar Association’s Neighborhood Legal Clinics and the Center for Children & Youth Justice's Lawyers Fostering Independence initiative, and I am dedicated to helping lower-income clients access legal help as a member of the Washington State Bar Association’s Moderate Means Program.  (Sliding-scale fee structure based on income and family size for households between 200% to 400% of the federal poverty guidelines.)
