Charles McElearney

Firm: Law Offices of Shana E. Thompson
6814 Greenwood Ave N , Seattle , Washington 98103
Practice Areas: Family
I was drawn to the law after going through a divorce myself, so I understand how the legal system feels very intimidating to clients. I prioritize approaching cases in a common-sense manner, based not just on law, but on experience.. I have a degree in economics as well as the law, and served as a field artillery officer in the U.S. Army. When I'm not in the office or working on a case, I am active outdoors (climbing, skiing, etc.), fixing something under one of my aging vehicles, or spending time with family.
