Richard responded the same day to my initial request and all my questions through the process were answered quickly either by phone or text.

From initial inquiry to funds from the sale in my account went quickly. I'd like to think I've found a trustworthy attorney for any future needs.

Though most people don't ever hope for a divorce, those who go through them hope for a good one…read more And one way to have a good one is of course to have a great lawyer, but perhaps also to think about the process as a way to come to mutual agreements about moving forward, as opposed to a battle of separate interests. For those who lean toward the former approach, Adrienne Keith is a fantastic resource, not only as a lawyer but as a calm, steady person. She works in Collaborative Law as well as mediation, and is active not only in volunteering but also in writing an insightful, funny, sensitive blog about divorce and family law-related topics (http://splitsvillenews.com/). While I didn't technically utilize Collaborative Law (she provides legal divorce services other than just that process), Adrienne was so helpful in carefully walking me through each step of the process, always calm, professional yet warm, and perfectly prepared. I truly appreciated her attitude of non-combativeness and of working to find mutual solutions to sticky issues. Should you find yourself or know someone who's in the situation of needing representation through a divorce or family law issue, do yourself a favor and get in touch with her. Plus, on the way out of the courthouse she handed me a really thick envelope....When I got home, I opened it. A lovely bar, of bittersweet chocolate. What more can a girl want when she gets her old name back?

Answer a few standard questions, chat about your impending death, and whammo! You've got yourself a legally binding will, power of attorney, health care advance directive, etc. Betsy also told us everything about death we wouldn't have even known to ask. Plus, she and her husband even come to *your* house for a signing party so you get the documents right away. It wasn't cheap, but check to see if your company has a legal plan (ours paid for almost everything!). But it was thorough, painless, and quick. Just like I hope that impending death of mine will be. (FYI: Betsy knows all the good ways to dispose of your body: cremation, burial at sea, composting, being turned into a tree ...)

I was Mr. Mullavey's secretary for a time in 1992. Their law office was very behind the times in…read moreterms of technology, so everything was unnecessarily difficult as they insisted on running their office in the dark ages. Mr. Mullavey was focused on the most minute details of his secretary's desk more than his own practice (micromanager). I saw evidence of a long line of former secretaries at that desk, not to mention what other staffers hinted at to me directly about Mr. Mullavey's difficulty holding onto secretaries and how impossible he was to work for. Then he was nice enough to take a few secretaries out for lunch on Administrative Professionals' Day to a nearby Ballard seafood restaurant. I never will forget the FIRST thing that came out of his mouth as he finally started to speak to me as a human and not his drone: "Don't you think you will have a hard time finding a husband at your current weight?" I guess he didn't know I had already been married for 9 years in the past. BTW, I was only 40 pounds overweight at the time, and at 5'9" I carried it pretty well, am a fairly snappy dresser for work and don't have too shabby of a face, and worked out a lot then. Needless to say I didn't work for him much longer. BTW, I've been happily married for a second time for 14 years now. I'm sure there are really nice staff and attorneys who work there, but Mr. Mullavey was a piece of work. I hope they have Microsoft Word by now...

I deeply appreciated working with Truce Law firm and especially Leslie Beauregard as the attorney representing my case. It took time to work through the legal system and it was completely frustrating - having Leslie there to provide expert guidance as well as being present during the many court hearings. My case kept taking all sorts of twists and turns that were difficult to navigate and having her available to me made a tremendous difference. There were days when I just wanted to quit. I hope to never ever find myself in this situation again where the person you are working through issues with is no longer reasonable. I am fortunate to have worked with Leslie and highly recommend working with her.

Expensive, Slow, and the Agreement Already Fell Apart…read more I used Truce Law in 2023/24 for my divorce, involving both children and financial assets to divide. I worked directly with Justin. He is convincing, knowledgeable, and genuinely makes you feel like the collaborative approach will protect your kids and your interests. That pitch is what sold me. I wish the execution had matched it. The process involves paying for an entire team Justin recommends: a mediator, a Divorce Financial Analyst, and attorneys for both parties (including Justin himself). At the hourly rates involved, you expect competence. What I got was not meeting the expectation, at least from the Divorce Financial Analyst. The work product was so poor and unclear that I ended up rebuilding the asset division calculations myself from scratch, with full transparency and no ambiguity. That is work the analyst failed to do, repeatedly. Justin also dropped the ball on communication and follow-up. The agreement was not finalized on time. I had to push things forward myself over the Christmas break. His explanation was essentially that he was stretched thin across other cases. We eventually failed to have an agreement signed before the end of the year. The biggest promise of the collaborative approach is that a well-crafted agreement prevents future legal conflict. That promise has not held up. My agreement is ambiguous in key areas, and I am now dealing with exactly the kind of disputes they told me this process would prevent. Any vagueness in the document has become a point of contention. Long process, high cost, mediocre team, and an agreement that is already causing problems. I would not recommend this firm, do your homework.
