Attorney Paige Haley says she was prepared since childhood to practice family law. Paige was adopted at birth and her mother remarried twice, giving Paige two stepfathers. "I don't view my history as negative," she says. "My family is very close, and I've experienced many of the situations my clients have experienced. Sometimes clients feel shame about what they are going through. I tell them, 'I've not only heard it before - I've lived it.'" Paige also chose family law because it reaches people on such a personal level. "This is about people's lives," she says simply.. Paige Haley handles divorce, child custody, child support, and related matters. Paige takes pride in offering sound, realistic advice so her clients enjoy the best possible outcome to their cases. When court action is needed, she offers a strong, vigorous presence in court, backed by a depth of knowledge and experience. In one recent, complex case, a mother with primary custody of the parties' child sought to relocate to another county in bad faith. Paige won primary custody for her client - after a yearlong battle - while objecting to the relocation. The client calls Paige "dynamic in court," praises her perseverance and determination, and thanks her for everything.. Paige earned her J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School, where she graduated cum laude. She keeps her skills sharp through myriad continuing legal education seminars. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Women's Studies from the University of Washington.

Natalie Roberts has spent the entirety of her legal career mastering her skills in family law.  She is well distinguished in the legal community and known for her persistent, intelligent and strategic litigation – both in the court room and in negotiations.. When hand-crafting her legal arguments for the court room, Natalie keeps her client’s quality of life and financial stability at the forefront.  She understands that every decision/request throughout a case can have major life impacts on her clients such as transporting your children to and from exchanges, ensuring you have enough spousal maintenance to pay your monthly bills, or protecting your assets to ensure the other party does not dispose of them.  These details are all important.  For these reasons, Natalie takes time to meet with her clients and go over every aspect of the case and her proposed strategies.  Natalie firmly believes that success in or out of the courtroom requires a strong, collaborative working relationship with her clients.. Experience and a good reputation also helps when negotiating with the opposing counsel/party.  She understands that not every case is meant for the courtroom and will often suggest mediation or initiating negotiations.  Mediation can be, and most often is, a place where two very disagreeable parties can reach an agreement.  Reaching an agreement usually means both parties can move on with their lives quicker and in a more positive atmosphere versus going to trial, which is extremely stressful for clients and their family/friends.. While reaching an agreement is generally the preferred outcome, that does not always happen.  In that situation, Natalie is prepared.  She is not shy in the courtroom and has represented clients in all facets of family law trials.  Natalie has the attention to detail, work ethic, and knowledge to handle difficult, complex cases at trial.. Prior to working at Envision Family Law, Natalie worked for several years at a high-volume law firm in Seattle.  Having worked for several years primarily in the Seattle area, Natalie established an excellent relationship with other attorneys in King County and is a familiar face to the judges and commissioners on the bench.  Natalie’s practice is not limited to King County and she has significant experience in Snohomish County and Pierce County as well.. Natalie graduated Cum Laude from Seattle University School of Law in 2009.  Prior to law school, Natalie attended the University of Tulsa and received a Bachelor of Arts degree, Cum Laude, in English Literature.  Natalie was a member of the Division One University of Tulsa track and cross-country teams.  Natalie still enjoys running in her spare time.  Natalie also enjoys sailing, skiing, and other outdoor activities with her family.

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.
