Divorce and Custody Lawyer in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. Hello, my name is Matthew Yetter, and I am the founder and lead attorney at Seacoma Law, PLLC. We have offices in Tacoma and Seattle. I provide individualized attention to each client that consults with and hires me on their case. Throughout my career I have represented hundreds of clients in divorce, custody, and other family law matters. My practice has and continues to be focused in King and Pierce counties. In fact, our offices in Tacoma and Seattle are within a few blocks of the courthouse. This is important because divorce, custody and family law matters are exclusively heard in the superior court.. Your Case is Important. Family law disputes can be extremely stressful, taking an emotional and financial toll on the family. I recognize this and advocate to minimize the damage caused by these situations. Clients are encouraged to discuss their questions and concerns about their situation with me, and I provide them with candid and compassionate advice. While there may be similarities from case to case, I have found that each person I meet with is an individual with varying interests and their own story to tell. Whether your case is a high conflict or a relatively uncontested, I will take the time to listen to you, discuss your options and help you decide the best course of action. Because hiring the right attorney is so important, I am offering you a no cost 30-minute consultation to evaluate your case.. I Understand the Importance of Family. When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife, five children and our dog. I love being outdoors with my family, camping, hiking, fishing etc. I am a sports fan and enjoy going to games with my kids. My wife and I enjoy the theater and are subscribers at The 5th Avenue Theater and Broadway at the Paramount.. Education. I received my Juris Doctorate from the Willamette University College of Law where I received multiple academic awards. Prior to law school I attended Southern Utah University.

Family Law can be a difficult practice, filled with strong emotions and no shortage of conflict. I am challenged by each case to strike a balance between zealous advocacy for my client, and compassion for the participants as a whole. It has been life-impacting to work so closely with good people during hard times. Going through a divorce can be one of the hardest life experiences a client will ever face. My hope is that my client's burden will in some way be lessened because I was involved.

I've been practicing law for over twenty years, almost all of it in Thurston County Family and Juvenile Court. I became a family law Guardian ad Litem in 2011, and served in that role for many years. I have accepted various court appointments over the years, representing minor children in dependency cases; both parents and children in minor guardianship cases; and petitioners in domestic violence protection order cases. I have occasionally served as a Title 4 GAL to investigate a party's competency.. In 2024, I was honored to begin serving the community in the capacity of Pro Tem Settlement Conference Judge, and my interest in that led me to take the Professional Mediation Training offered by the Thurston County Dispute Resolution Center, so that I may join the list of court-approved private mediators in 2025.. I became a lawyer because I like to help people and have a penchant for finding creative solutions to difficult problems. I understand how stressful family law is for the client, so I remain accessible at all times, whether it be by email, telephone, or even text. I'm also mindful of the financial impact the case has on a client - hiring a lawyer is expensive, but the costs should not be unreasonable. I like to teach, so strive to educate the client along the way, both regarding the law and the process, so that they may make informed decisions about their case. I believe that the best outcome is an agreed one, but I do also spend plenty of time in court arguing my client's position when a reasonable settlement cannot be reached.. I love what I do and consider myself fortunate to be in a profession that allows me to help people in such a profound way, while also giving me the freedom to pursue personal pursuits, such as playing basketball, listening to music, and teaching others D&D (including the afterschool club I founded at my kids' school). I live in Olympia with my two children.
