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?

I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with Mark Alexander over the very long haul of my case…read more I was somehow able to hire the attorney everyone hopes to get but seldom does. Thanks to Mark, I was able to achieve a much better outcome than I ever hoped for. He was over-and-above in every way that matters: expertise, timeliness, punctuality, turnaround, patience and pragmatism to name just a few. His work showed so much thought and attention to detail which really won me over. My divorce was a painful time in my life and I'm deeply grateful to have found Mark get me through the legal journey safely with a secure future intact.

Terrible. Seven or 8 years ago my lawyer was supposed to represent me. I had an awful guardian ad…read morelitem that favored men and the evidence was all there. My lawyer was on my ex side and believed him over a honest person like myself. By the grace of god I quickly changed my case around by getting another lawyer that knew this horrible guardian as litem and no one at seattle divorce services would investigate. Unfortunate how much they charge for no help. I thank my lawyer I got Stu Brown every day for helping me and knowing about this crazy guardian as litem and within. 24 hours changed my case around before trial. Thank you forever to Stu Brown. Never go to seattle divorce services.

There are times in many people's lives where you need an attorney and a firm that can support you…read morethrough the unpleasant ending of a relationship. All during COVID. 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.
