This is the ideal firm if you want to have a responsive, professional experience, without the "large firm" feeling. They listen, provide sound advice, and ultimately work with you to achieve your objectives, all while minding costs and stress. Molly and staff are very easy to work with.

Molly helped make our divorce proceedings easy, if that is such a thing during a divorce. She has a "Tell it like it is" attitude, but in a nice way, knows her stuff and looks out for the best interest of her client. She also helped me get in touch with some excellent parenting resources, to help iron out some wrinkles (ex-spouse not following parenting plan) after everything was finalized. I would highly recommend Molly and her staff!

Molly and her team were very helpful during my recent divorce after almost 30 years of marriage. I tried to do it myself but that became a mistake after my wife's attorney tried to really take advantage of me. Molly listened to me, asked the right questions, and helped me provide the right kind of information to defend myself. I had no intention to be unfair to my wife, but her attorney wanted it all. In the end, we came to a fair resolution that I was pleased with considering the circumstances.

Molly and her team or professionals where GREAT. Her goal was to get it done and not to have billable hours behind her. She gave honest and real insight to what and might happen during my case in the beginning when i first took counsel and the map she drew was pretty much it. She is a great attorney and knows Washington State law and that is what you want in your corner.

Molly is an amazing person and an outstanding lawyer. From my first call for help, Molly and her whole staff treated me with respect and dignity and then worked diligently to represent me through one of the most challenging periods of my life. Molly is compassionate and also honest. She won't make promises about things she can't guarantee, but she is reassuring, practical, and smart. I am so thankful that I had Molly and her team on my side, and I highly recommend her!

Mitchell Polonsky helped me resolve a difficult modified parenting plan with my ex husband. He was professional, always available to answer any questions I had, he heard my wants/needs and communicated them to the other party without hesitation. He gave me advice but still respected my wishes, and took a lot of stress off of me throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Mitchell as an attorney, he definitely works for his clients to get them the best results for their family.

Let me 1st start out by saying, if you are reading reviews and having a terrible time deciding who is going to help you at one of the worst times in your life. Just stop reading and call. From start to Finish, there is no doubt I would hire them back in a heartbeat. From working with Ken, getting questions answered at no cost, when it became apparent my then wife had hired a lawyer (even though she had pinky promised me she wouldn’t) I had called Ken and I was in a bad place I had just been served papers at my place of employment, he told me not to worry and he had someone to help me out. That is when I received an email and a follow up phone call from my new Lawyer Mitchell Polonsky within that same day. After asking me some basic questions about myself and the situation, he was able put my mind at ease. My wife hired the Lawyer with a reputation for blood. Mitch made it clear it didn’t matter who she had hired. He was going to do everything in his power to make things as fair as possible while minimizing the cost on myself and the exposure to my children (by making it as clean and quick as possible). My Ex wasn’t being fair, not dropping the kids off in the location agreed on, not letting me talk to them on the phone during a critical time in their lives and threatening to withhold them. I informed Mitch and He got to work that same day. It was night and day difference once he emailed her lawyer. That alone was worth the money, but there was still a divorce I had to finish up. Mitch was extremely responsive when it came to emails and phone calls. My Ex-wife and I would both have the same questions for our attorneys and most of the time it would take her lawyer a week to get back. But not Mitch, it was always the same day and typically within hours. It got to the point where I was able to give the Ex an answer before her attorney would even open her emails. (Again; that alone was worth the money) I understand every situation is different, but with Mitch on my side I was able to get 50/50 custody of my 2 boys, pay No spousal support and even kept her away from my retirement. As far as divorce goes I would consider it a win. Thank you Mitch, for everything.

Great firm, I worked with Mitch who was on top of my case and got the results I wanted. Definitely recommend this firm and Mitch himself to take care of anyone’s divorce situation.

I was 6 months into my divorce proceedings and parted ways with my initial attorney from another law firm. I heard about Goldberg Jones through a work colleague. After talking with Ken he paired me up with Gregg Morphew. I’m active duty military and Gregg had experience working with veterans and he also served in the Army. Right from the start Gregg recognized what was missing in my case and made an immediate impact. His reputation among his peers was obvious and I felt I was getting the solid representation I desperately needed. I highly recommend Goldberg Jones and Attorney Gregg Morphew for any father going through a divorce. For those in the military I have yet to see a more diligent and knowledgeable attorney on all things JAG related than Attorney Morphew.

I can't imagine the circumstances in which a divorce could be anything but an unpleasant experience, but having Goldberg Jones - Divorce for Men to guide me through the process has been an extraordinary help and comfort. I have been working with Kenneth Alan and found him to be not only professional and knowledgeable, but also very personable. I have found that Mr. Alan's approach has a calming effect, which faces the matters at hand directly yet avoids stirring up any negative feelings or rancor. Very matter of fact. This approach particularly suited me because even though I am facing this divorce from my wife, I do not hate her nor do I wish her ill will, but I do want to protect myself in the process. I have found that Mr. Alan strikes the perfect balance to satisfy all sides of my goals and intentions. I am very grateful to have found him & Goldberg Jones - Divorce for Men.

Just called and they spent close to 20 minutes of their own time guiding me through a sticky situation. They share very knowledgeable and I would recommend them to anyone that needs a family lawyer.

I didn't know much about what I was doing, but I think Mr. Handson did well describing to me how the whole process works, and that alone was helpful.

I've used Mr. Hansen 2x in the last 10 years and HIGHLY recommend him. In both cases, I felt immediately better after our initial conversations and then extremely well taken care of during the subsequent process and proceedings. Mr. Hansen is very direct and to the point, which I actually very much appreciate. He doesn't sugar coat things and is very open with what you can and can't expect based on his knowledge of the law, which is extensive. I personally appreciated being able to know exactly where I stood legally and then being able to make a confident, informed decision with Mr. Hansen's advice and guidance. I would use him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone that is in need of legal advice. I am very grateful that he was recommended to me years ago from a trusted friend.

I normally do not write reviews, but wanted to share the great experience I've had working with Jon. I hired Jon since March 2016 to handle my divorce. He helped me through a very difficult time with expertise and thoroughness. He is always quick to respond and has continued to help clarify any ongoing questions. I as so grateful for Jon's support and services over the years. Highly Recommended!

If you're reading this you're in a tough spot. You need good legal advice and understanding, you don't need cuddles and lots of empathy. Mr.Hansen is your guy. He actually does listen and he does know what your feelings probably are. I've read some reviews of his that feel like he is somehow harsh-he isn't he is simply listening and giving you outstanding legal understanding and counsel. It's your situation that is harsh not Mr.Hansen. The first call is worth so much, just call him and your understanding will go up by 100% for free. When you perceive his understanding and ability you will retain him as your counsel. Full disclosure: I reconciled with my spouse (hallelujah) so didn't wind up completing the divorce.

My experience with Clement Law Center was just what I needed. I worked specifically with Kristina Gibbs-Ruby. Not only did I win my case, but she put forth such an outstanding effort. Now we all know lawyers handle multiple cases/issues at a time. Kristina always made me feel like my case came first, and her actions showed it (even made contact during the Holidays). She was very polite when needed but aggressive to make sure her point came across. She had a great attitude, work ethic, knowledgeable, and worth every penny. I would recommend her to anyone!

10 stars! I recommend Bruce Clement to everyone who is looking for an experienced and trustworthy family attorney. I am very happy and grateful to Bruce and his team for the wonderful work they've done, for their brilliant minds and kind hearts they put into my case.

Bruce and his team (inc Claudia, who was so caring and amazing) are truly wonderful, hard-working, and experienced. They won a very complicated and difficult protection order/divorce case on behalf of my mother, even with language barriers (Punjabi) and I am forever appreciative. If you want someone who knows the system and cares, I highly recommend this firm.

This afternoon I had a phone consultation with Bruce Clement. He was incredibly insightful and knowledgeable in my case. We will be retaining his Law firm. He made me feel like I was important and not just another case. I have spoken to several other law firms and they were of not help at all. It is easy to give him a 5 star rating as he is well worth it.

Hire this law firm. I went in today for the free consult offered on their website. I was pretty confused and distressed with all of what is going on in my particular situation. Bruce Clement laid out my options- all of which are actually free for me up until a point where he said I could hire a lawyer when that point comes. And then at that future point, he has three tiers of retainer and hourly rates. I so appreciate the information he gave, it was honestly worth paying for. This is review is the best way I can repay him. If in fact I will need a lawyer heading into the new season of my particular issue, I will be hiring this law firm. I always appreciate free value, and not feeling pressured into making a decision on the spot, and honest lawyers who are firstly focused on their clients (and potential clients) rather than focusing on the money. Thank you!!

Veronica was recommended to me through a close friend, at a time when I was at my lowest. I'd just been assaulted by my husband of nearly 20 years, who was/is a complete textbook covert narcissist. As soon as we met for the consultation I just knew I was in good hands and that Veronica would fight the good fight for me in my divorce. It was a grueling 12+ months but through the whole thing Veronica never lost sight of our goals and in the end I got what was fair and just. I truly believe I would not have gotten the outcome we did had I hired another attorney.

I was recommended Veronica and her firm by a friend of the family. My soon to be ex-husband is a very challenging person to work with and my number 1 goal through the entire process was to do what is fair and what is right. I appreciate that Veronica and her firm helped to support me in those desires while protecting me from being bullied by my ex. They helped me not only navigate through the divorce and mediation process, but also helped with communications with the ex when he was less than appropriate on numerous occasions. They helped remind me that the boundaries I had set around my children were not only fair, they were just and that he needed to respect those boundaries. I also used Fierce to describe this group because while my case was settled it mediation, it was clear they knew when and where to be fierce and that is what you want when someone is advocating for your rights and the rights of your children. Should this have gone to trial, I have no doubt that Veronica and her team would have been nothing short of phenomenal. I worked a lot with Amy in dealing with various correspondence with my ex and she was truly amazing. While I feel for anyone reading this review in need of a lawyer, I could not recommend Veronica and her team more.

Honest, Hard Working, Caring and Fair. 5.0 stars Posted by Robert August 30, 2020 Thank You for handling my divorce / Case. You told me not to worry and that I was in good hands and your words became true. I appreciate the amazing professionalism of the whole team. Michael is not only an outstanding lawyer but was such a quality and nice person to work with. Even though you handle issues of tremendous gravity on a daily basis, everyone was so compassionate and caring and helpful. I felt your service was amazing, demonstrated a high level of professional integrity, and was reasonable and fair. My experience with you, Michael, Amy, Beth, Christopher , Valerie, and Silinda was outstanding -- I hope to not ever go through the experience again but you and everyone associated with V. Fretas law will be at the top of my list of recommendations when and if my friends find themselves in similar situations. Again, I just want to say -- Thank You ,

Veronica Freitas and her team went above and beyond to fight for me in a custody case to insure my son resided with me, his Mom. She is an excellent listener, articulate, thoughtful, and compassionate. Her paralegal, Amy, touched base with me daily and helped me navigate through an extremely emotional & stressful case. She made sure I had all of the valuable & necessary information needed to win my case. When the opposing lawyer attempted to bend the laws in their favor, she was quick to point out the inadequacies in their argument and poked many holes in their case. As a result, the case was dismissed. Veronica and her team continue to check on me and my son and our safety even though the case has ended. What a blessing to have this thoughtful, astute, and powerful force on my side. I am eternally grateful to have found her during one of the most difficult, stressful, & gut wrenching times in my life. I highly recommend VFreitas law if you want to feel properly guided & protected!

I changed over to Veronica midstream in my divorce. I'm so glad I did! Having her in my corner made a huge difference!

My experience with you, Michael, Amy, Beth, Christopher , Valerie, and Silinda was outstanding -- I hope to not ever go through the experience again but you and everyone associated with V. Fretas law will be at the top of my list of recommendations when and if my friends find themselves in similar situations. Again, I just want to say -- Thank You ,

    Veronica Freitas and her team went above and beyond to fight for me in a custody case to insure my son resided with me, his Mom. She is an excellent listener, articulate, thoughtful, and compassionate. Her paralegal, Amy, touched base with me daily and helped me navigate through an extremely emotional & stressful case. She made sure I had all of the valuable & necessary information needed to win my case. When the opposing lawyer attempted to bend the laws in their favor, she was quick to point out the inadequacies in their argument and poked many holes in their case. As a result, the case was dismissed. Veronica and her team continue to check on me and my son and our safety even though the case has ended. What a blessing to have this thoughtful, astute, and powerful force on my side. I am eternally grateful to have found her during one of the most difficult, stressful, & gut wrenching times in my life. I highly recommend VFreitas law if you want to feel properly guided & protected!

Mimi was a fantastic resource for my wife and I during our divorce. I really liked how she was able to answer any questions either of us had during the process, and how meticulous she was in regards to details. She was really understanding and patient in the beginning when we were not sure what we wanted to do, and were just trying to understand our options. I highly recommend her.

Before filing for divorce, I spoke with about a dozen attorneys in the area. I felt like some said what they thought I wanted to hear, while others seemed almost disinterested. After narrowing it down to a few, I chose Michelle Danley from Seattle Divorce Services because I felt like she was an excellent listener, and gave me her unbiased thoughts instead of saying things to land a new client. My case was complex, not for the finances/assets, but because of a parental rights dispute. Michelle and her team gave me excellent representation. While I no doubt am bias because of our success, I'd like to think that even if we had been less successful, that I would still appreciate her efforts and high-quality work. Besides that, Michelle was great at managing someone (me) who was dealing with a difficult situation. She was kind and professional. Her communications were excellent; she responded quickly to my inquiries and promptly passed on information from the courts and opposing counsel. I myself am a licensed attorney, and while I am not an expert in family law, I felt that her work could not have been better. I think that there are many types of family law attorneys out there. There are some who will guide you and make decisions for you (with your consent) if you are not in a good state of mind to decide. There are others who will do what you ask even when that may not be in your best interest. Michelle is someone who will tell you what she thinks, and will discuss the options with you. She is willing to make recommendations as well, but ultimately, she will inform you as best she can then will leave it up to you to decide. That is exactly what I was looking for, and if it is what you need, you may want to consider talking to her. I could not recommend her more highly.

I worked with Mark Alexander on my divorce. I hired him as my pro se attorney while doing most of the paperwork and legwork myself. His calm demeanor and knowledge about maneuvering the legal system and not allowing me to give up my rights and desires was invaluable. He was especially helpful guiding me through the online court system for submissions and locating progress reports. Mark was so professional and retained a personal touch throughout this painful journey.

When I first met Mimi I was a mess. I was in a very mentally fragile state and had a hard time focusing. I was in a Divorce that had really taken a toll on me and I was ready to just walk away from it all. Mimi gave me hope and was able to help me through a process I did not think I had the strength to get through. In the end she was able to get me a fair settlement. Actually about 10x what I was originally asking for. She helped me see what I thought I should get was actually not what she thought I deserved. Mimi could not have been more professional. She always returned emails and calls promptly. I do not believe you could put your trust in a better person through this tough process. She helped ease me into arbitration a process I did not think I was up to either. I could not really put into words how much she did for me. Not just coming out with a great settlement but a stronger person too. I will forever be grateful for all Mimi and Seattle Divorce Services did for me. Shad Coughlin

I just wrapped my divorce process and worked with Janel Ostrem at Seattle Divorce Services for it. I am incredibly pleased with the outcome, the representation I received, and the entire process along the way. We settled via mediation, and Janel was able to flex on both collaborative style and, when it was needed, being litigious. She was incredibly efficient, which was great in that it kept my costs down. Best, though, she was able to get me and keep me focused on the right 'bigger picture' issues, which at times was a challenge for me in getting caught up in the moment and the immediate issue or argument at hand. In the end, that was critical in getting me to a positive, cost-effective settlement. I highly recommend Janel and SDS and would be happy to share more of my experiences if it would be helpful to anyone evaluating and choosing a divorce lawyer.

    Intake personnel Dani Berlin was quick to schedule a family law consultation for me and collect pre-payment, but she did not follow through with the attorney profile she promised nor did she return my email regarding the proper exchange of documentation. She did, however, contact me 2 hours before my scheduled consultation and tell me that the attorney she had scheduled would need to cancel because of a conflict. Due to the timeframe of my needs, this was completely detrimental to my situation and although I was refunded, the firm made zero attempt to reschedule or accommodate me. I consider this both unfortunate and unprofessional.

    In a divorce, you need advocates. Advocates that are willing to listen, empathize with your situation and quickly ascertain what rights and entitlements one has. I was fortunate enough to be paired with Hillary Roberts. From our first meeting, I felt she was first and foremost genuine which was the impetus for me to go with McKinley Irvin. As we started working together, her legal acumen and excellent correspondence was confidence inspiring as we slogged through the details of hard data like finances to more aqueous, emotional reasoning. She took on my desire to stay as a present father just as serious as I and her willingness to go as far as we could go is something I'll appreciate and cherish forever. I would be remiss not to mention the paralegals extraordinaire, Régan Bafaro and Amy Trahan. They worked tirelessly assisting with my discovery process and making sure that all the t's were crossed and i's were dotted. Sincerely, -Al

    Best lawyer by far. Anyone needs good help in family matters he's the man to see.

    This review is a long time past due! I dont think I can say enough great things about Hillary. She stayed with is for 6 years dealing with a psychotic, narcissistic coparent who liked to play games, on top of being across the country from us majority of the time. She helped us navigate court and always kept what was at our child's best interest at heart rather than just winning a case. She became more than an employee, she became like family, so much so that she celebrated the birth of our youngest child with us from across the country. If our case had stayed in Washington State we would not have hesitated to keep her as our attorney!

    David Starks, is an amazing attorney. My expirence with David and his team has been as good as it gets when it comes to issues of family law. I have worked with several attorneys at this firm and always felt they had my families best interests at heart. If you want good solid advice from people that care, results that matter, McKinley Irvin can do that for you.

    I have known David Huber almost 20 years, professionally and personally. He was the clear choice to represent my interests when I divorced in 2010. My then wife and I had been married over 30 years; and had lived together for eight years prior to that. We had two adult children and a somewhat complicated estate of community and separate properties. I wanted a fair, equitable and friendly outcome. Unfortunately, my former wife engaged an attorney to represent her interests that was not interested in a fair, equitable or friendly outcome. David’s even and principled representation was able to neutralize the vitriol of opposing counsel while remaining a strong and persuasive advocate on behalf of that ‘fair and equitable’ outcome. David and I both understood that the problem was not primarily my wife … and after 18 months of discovery (of questionable good faith), David was able to persuade opposing counsel that no assets were being hidden. From that point we were able to proceed to a formal mediation process which resolved in one day. On both a professional and personal level, David was a superb lawyer and counselor. He was always prepared. He communicated well the different perspectives of each issue before making his recommendation … and then accepted whatever decision I ultimately made. He shielded me effectively against difficult opposing counsel. He advocated for and so allowed a fair and equitable outcome to occur. Friendly even. My highest recommendation.

    I would without any reservation recommend David T Huber for any family law matter. No one gets married and expects to get divorced - but the reality is it happens. My situation was unique as all cases are I was scared and anxious. I was luckily recommended to David by another attorney. David and his assistant Joy were compassionate, experienced, understanding , communicated wonderfully, had great rapport with me and also mentored me in a way - they taught me to give myself credit and strength. My situation involved children , protection orders and forensic psychology - they were so great and kept my case from going to trial. I felt they empowered me. I have nothing but high praise.

    David was highly recommended by 2 different people for my divorce which included a messy situation with a business that we owned together. Through difficult and challenging negotiations my ex and I were able to end up on the same page with me owning the family business. David listened well and understood that I wanted only what was fair for both of us.The worst time of my life is now complete after my divorce was handled professionally and gracefully.I now highly recommend David to others looking for excellent representation with integrity.

    Janal is thoroughly exceptional. I had to engage counsel for a major modification to change parenting plan and sole decision making. With her representation, I was granted all requests and my daughter is flourishing. Early in the proceedings I was working with another attorney and realized I needed stronger representation. After interviewing several attorneys, it was clear she was high above the rest. Here’s what I love about her: 1) Exceptional knowledge – she brought new perspectives and recommendations that supported my case. 2) Oversight – She had an uncanny ability to retain and recall the facts of my case. She was always able to pick up where we left off. No matter her total caseload, I felt like I was her main client. 3) Supportive relationship – She kept me optimistic and uplifted me. I’ve become highly aware that other attorneys do not have this capacity. 4) Gravitas – She is strong and confident and will always angle for win-win solutions. She effectively pushed back and she knows how to ‘show teeth’ when called for. 5) Personality - She is a pure enjoy to work with, which was refreshing and uplifting throughout. What I’ve learned from her will serve me a lifetime. I’m beyond thankful and I highly recommend.

    Janal is an amazing attorney and she help me with family case. She treats people with respect and she stands up for her clients. She is fair and honest with her clients, like she was with me. There is not a lot of attorneys out there that will give their all like Janal does. I got some much support from her. Thank you Janal from me and my family.

    Janal was always professional, understood my case and was available to me when I needed clarification on my case. She was always prompt to respond and kept me informed as to the progress of my case. I highly recommend her!! Reviewed by: Shawneen Falck

    She's shady rude very uncompassionate and doesn't customize no kind of attention. Payment plan please she will drop you in a heartbeat! She doesn't care about her clients or their kids! Do not hire her she doesn't care, she is a hack lawyer out to just take your money! I had to give her a star just to post this but -5 stars is what she deserves.
