More Information

Our attorneys believe that family law is a fascinating field, different from other types of law, and that it is the ideal practice for those who endeavor to help real people solve real problems. We apply creative problem-solving techniques to the intertwined legal, financial and emotional complications involved in family law disputes.

The firm also believes that it is critical to work with professional organizations, the courts, and the legislature regarding the administration of justice and its impact on the public. The attorneys in the firm include five current or former officers of the Family Law Section of the King County Bar Association, a former trustee of the KCBA, two current or former board members of the Washington State Bar Association Family Law Section, and members and chairs of numerous other county, state and national legal organizations.

The attorneys in the firm also serve the court as Guardians ad Litem representing children, as Court Appointed Special Advocates, and as masters in the court's settlement conference program. They also volunteer with legal clinics and the Family Law Mentor Program.

Quote: "In this age of competition and hostility in the practice of law, we offer an environment that is supportive of the highest quality work for our clients. Our attorneys work well together in a congenial office atmosphere. When dealing with the grief and discord of family law practice, it is a pleasure to surround yourself with those with whom you get along and whose experience and advice you respect. We feel fortunate to be a part of this group."

We, and many in the Seattle legal community, hold in highest regard our founding partner, the late Mary H. Wechsler. She applied her endless energy to countless organizations, and set a standard of practice to which we all aspire.
