The above video is a couple of years old.  A new one is currently on my web page - .. I began practicing family law in 1986.  For 29 years I have been an effective, thorough and respected member of the Washington Bar. I have represented many wonderful men and women, some of whom still keep in touch with me today.  I have had the privilege of appearing before some excellent King County Family Law Commissioners and King County Judges, some of whom are no longer with us, and I feel validated by the kind and complimentary comments I have received from them over the years about my approach to family law, my thoroughness, and my civility in the process.  I have expanded from being a sole practitioner to running a corporation and working with four associate attorneys, and brainstorming with them on all of their cases.

Practice Areas: Family
Tim Sutherland embodies the fiercely competitive state of his birth, and like that state, he hates to lose. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Tim was raised to believe that every problem has a solution; it just needs to be found. The legal experience Tim has gathered over the previous few years, combined with his natural determination and enthusiasm, makes him an ideal yet unusual attorney..

His duties included tracking and interpreting legislative bills, assisting NRA members with various gun-related inquiries, and occasionally "working" at the firing range.. Tim also spent a summer abroad with his future wife, studying medieval warfare and history at Sterling University in Scotland. While there, he learned the real history behind the movie Braveheart, and visited numerous countries, including England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Austria..

One of the firm’s original partners, Mr. Carmen "Nuch" Trutanich was recently elected Los Angeles City Attorney in 2009.. As a legal clerk for the firm, Tim handled a number of complex matters, including the drafting of an amicus curiae brief to a court of appeals explaining the legal and technical applications of California’s assault weapons laws. Tim spoke daily with the legal department of the firearm division to the California Department of Justice and worked closely with firearm clients.. Tim also assisted in a number of criminal defense matters relating to firearms, ranging from charges of possessing firearms that should have been classified as antiques, pen guns, and assault weapons. In addition to his firearm work, Tim worked on an assortment of other legal matters, including a first amendment freedom of express case, defamation case, and the incorporation of various business entities.. Following his time at Michel & Associates, Tim proceeded to work for the Domestic Violence division of the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office (located near Portland, Oregon). Tim was entrusted with prosecuting the county’s restraining order violations and overseeing the county’s domestic violence deferment program, a program directed at the rehabilitation of domestic violence offenders. As part of the deferment program, Tim worked closely with various woman’s groups, battered women intervention programs, and shelters. In addition, Tim prosecuted physical assaults, cases of strangulation, and other incidents relating to domestic violence. Tim also had the opportunity to work on several felony cases, including prosecution for the sexual assault of a minor and a high profile organized crime capital murder case .. In addition to his work fighting for victims of domestic violence, while studying at Lewis & Clark School of Law, Tim focused on working with the National Crime Victim Law Institute [] (NCVLI), the first institute of its kind aimed at promoting crime victims with comprehensive and meaningful legal rights in the criminal justice system. Through NCVLI’s clinic, Tim helped draft a brief aimed at protecting the identity of a child victim in a criminal sex abuse case. In that same case, they vigorously protected the rights of the child from being forced to testify in open court in front of her offender. Tim also assisted victims of crime with enforcing their rights on appeal after their rights were denied at the trial court level..

Practice Areas: Family
Theresa Lorella became an attorney to help people find their voices in difficult and emotional circumstances.. “Expressing yourself can be challenging in any situation, but more so when your whole life is about to change. That’s why I always prioritize my client’s need to be heard and validated, whether I’m helping them navigate a contentious divorce, modify a parenting plan, or negotiate a property settlement.. First and foremost, this entails listening.

While she is a strong advocate in the courtroom, Theresa believes in reducing conflict whenever possible.

This experience gives her a unique perspective and the tools to think “outside of the litigation box.” Whether she is acting as an attorney or as a mediator, Theresa is highly efficient in facilitating fair and long-lasting agreements.. “I view each family law case as a puzzle to solve instead of a fight to be had. My goal as an attorney is to help my clients minimize conflict, anxiety, and discord while advocating for their needs.”.

2625 W Northwest Blvd, Suite C , Spokane , Washington 99205
Practice Areas: Family, Landlord & Tenant
Since I was a child I defended the underdog, getting myself into trouble by fighting battles that weren’t my own. Bullies, schoolyard thieves, and other would-be wrongdoers were never a match for my sense of justice and my willingness to stand up for the little guy. I just can’t mind my own business when I see injustice, so the law was the perfect path for me. Every day I can take pride in the fact that my job is to take care of people who for one reason or another can’t stand up for themselves. I am dedicated to helping you and your loved one through life’s legal battles.

In her twenty years of practice, Tatyana Gidirimski has handled every aspect of family law, including complex divisions of property, maintenance, parenting plans (including modifications), child relocations, child support, division of business assets, claims of committed intimate relationships, restraining orders, domestic violence protection orders, and preparation and negotiation of prenuptial and other relationship agreements.

She is skilled in dealing with high-conflict personalities and counsels clients on handling hostile emails and other communications. However, an out-of-court resolution of a conflict is not always possible, and if you have to go to court you are in good hands. Tatyana is an experienced litigator. She has litigated numerous contentious divorces and has successfully represented clients in trials and family court hearings. Tatyana has also handled a number of interstate and international divorces involving complex jurisdictional and conflict of laws issues.

Without getting overly philosophical, the law is the foundation for a civil society. But it can be a complicated beast. Unfortunately, people often find themselves entwined in our labyrinthine legal system for a variety of reasons: injuries; domestic disputes; liability issues; contract and business disagreements; and criminal charges, to name a few.  In such situations, the assistance of a knowledgeable, empathetic, and committed lawyer is invaluable.. I have dedicated my career to representing people in their times of need. I know that being involved in any legal matter can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. You need guidance; you need advice; and you need competent and tenatious representation.
