Karl Flaccus

Firm: Brothers Henderson Durkin, P.S.
936 N 34th Street, Suite 200 , Seattle , Washington 98103
Practice Areas: Probate, Trusts, Estate Planning, Guardianship
Karl Flaccus’s practice focuses on estate planning, trusts, probate, and litigation involving wills, probates, and guardianships. He has guided thousands of families in successfully structuring important personal documents and plans, and the successful resolution of trust and estate conflicts.. Karl has an extensive background in the legal field predating his 2023 merger with Brothers & Henderson. Before attending law school, he practiced tax accounting and representing clients in audits before the IRS for 11 years in Alaska. During law school, he interned with Judge Hugh Bownes of the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston, and clerked for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Concord, New Hampshire. After receiving his Juris Doctor, he clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Barbara Rothstein, and for Judges Marshall Forrest and Jack Scholfield of Division I of the Washington State Court of Appeals. In 1994, he opened his own private law practice in Seattle, Flaccus Law, where he served thousands of clients in the successful structuring of important personal documents and plans. He understands the heavy emotional and financial costs of litigation for his clients.. Beginning in the late 1990’s, Karl ran a free monthly legal clinic at the Shoreline Senior Center for almost 20 years, where he offered pro bono legal advice to hundreds of seniors and their family members. Outside of work, Karl enjoys a myriad of outdoor activities. During his time in Alaska, he kayaked thousands of river miles and built two cabins outside of Fairbanks. He has run a number of marathons, including the Boston Marathon. Nowadays, he likes to ski, hike, and spend time with his family. The Flaccus family also spends a lot of cabin time in the Cascades throughout all the seasons.

Jeffrey Smoot

Firm: Westwood Pacific Law PLLC
1725 SW Roxbury Street Suite 2 , Seattle , Washington 98106
Practice Areas: Mediation, Bankruptcy, Probate, Real Estate, Arbitration, Bankruptcy & Debt, Bankruptcy & Debt
I am a solution-focused attorney who strives to help my clients find common sense, cost-effective solutions for avoiding and recovering from conflict and financial distress. I'm focused on what's important to my clients.. A friend called me "A Northwest Kind of Lawyer," and I like that. Born and raised in Seattle, I spent my youth and adulthood exploring beaches, islands, rivers, and mountains, enjoying hiking, climbing, fishing, and kayaking. Thinking I would become a teacher or photographer, I surprised myself by choosing a career in law. I have more than 30 years of law firm experience, including more than a decade as a litigation, bankruptcy and family law paralegal prior to becoming an attorney in 2007. Over the past 15-plus years, I have focused my law practice on advising and representing individuals and business clients in a variety of matters including bankruptcy, receivership, business restructuring, foreclosure, business and real estate, estate planning and probate, family law/divorce, and related litigation and transactions.. More recently, I have expanded my practice to include private mediation and arbitration for several types of disputes including civil, commercial, business, real estate, eviction, condominium, divorce/custody, probate/estate, partnership and law-firm dissolution, and attorney's fee disputes. I currently split time between Seattle and Honolulu. In addition to my Seattle law and mediation practice, I am a family mediator with Family Mediation Hawai'i and a mentor mediator for the Mediation Center for the Pacific in Honolulu, where I completed advanced mediation training in 2021 and divorce mediation training in 2023. I am also a panel member for the Hawai'i Bankruptcy Alternative Dispute Resolution Program and the CR 39.1 ADR Program in the US District Court for the Western District of Washington.. I previously served as Chair of the WSBA Law Clerk Board and as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, and continue to volunteer on the Camp Long Advisory Council, which supports outdoor education, stewardship, and leadership opportunities for underserved youth in the Seattle area. I am a member of the Washington Mediation Association and the Conflict Resolution Alliance of Hawai'i. I am available for private mediation in Seattle through my law firm, Westwood Pacific Law PLLC, and for family mediation in Hawai'i through Family Mediation Hawai'i.. I regularly present at seminars regarding legal issues, ethics, and dispute resolution topics, and have been recognized as a Super Lawyer in 2020-2025.
