“In every case, whether agreed or extremely adversarial, I do my best to see that my client and their family remains as emotionally, psychologically, and financially intact as possible.
I find mediating to be especially rewarding, because I am able to assist parties in resolving their issues without the added expense of court."
Introduction
Constance Locklear helps people navigate some of life’s most challenging transitions - divorce, custody, and family restructuring - with clarity, confidence, and compassion. As a seasoned Seattle Family Law Attorney, she has facilitated hundreds of complex divorce and custody cases since 2014, with a strong track record of resolving matters before trial through strategic planning and practical negotiation.
Constance understands that no two families are the same. She listens intently, customizes solutions to meet each client’s goals, and ensures every detail is addressed - whether the case involves dividing intricate financial assets or protecting a parent’s time with their children. Her approach is holistic and child-centered, prioritizing long-term stability and minimizing emotional and financial strain.
Clients frequently describe Constance as calm under pressure, approachable, and incredibly thorough. She takes the time to explain every option and empower her clients, so they never feel lost in the legal process. As a partner at Wechsler Becker in Seattle, she also offers mediation services for those seeking respectful, out-of-court resolutions.
What sets Constance apart is her blend of legal precision and human-centered counsel. She’s not just focused on winning - she’s committed to helping people rebuild and move forward with confidence.
Originally from Oregon, Constance moved to Washington State and earned her law degree cum laude from Seattle University School of Law. She’s been practicing since 2014 and calls Seattle home. When she’s not advocating for her clients, you’ll find her reading, hiking in the Cascades, experimenting with new recipes, or spending time with her partner and their rescue dog.
