Sharon Blackford

Firm: Sharon Blackford
600 Stewart Street , Seattle , Washington 98101
Practice Areas: Family
I've been an attorney for 24 years and I have litigated approximately 250 appellate cases in the Washington Court of Appeals, Washington Supreme Court, and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals as lead attorney. I focus on family law appeals and also have a background in criminal appeals. The keys to my practice are a commitment to thoroughly understanding each case, a high standard of legal scholarship and a client relationship focus. I love explaining the legal system to people and I enjoy speaking with my clients and guiding them through the appellate system. Clients are generally referred to me by other lawyers but individual self-referral is also welcome.

Sharon Friedrich

Firm: Meridian Family Law
901 5th Avenue, Suite 2800A , Seattle , Washington 98164
Practice Areas: Family
Family law entails more than just a legal procedure. My clients are dealing with multiple changes in their lives. They have to juggle jobs and budgets, face the prospect of moving, take care of their children, and deal with the inevitable stress that results from family conflict. In sum, they are confronting a total disruption in their family lives--today, tomorrow, and into the future.. It's a highly emotional and personal process. Clients are thrown into an arena they do not understand, without the tools they need to protect themselves and their children...That's where I come in.
