Specialties
Truce® Law offers the full range of family law to families across Thurston County and the South Puget Sound: divorce, legal separation, parenting plans, child support, alimony (spousal maintenance), property division, post-decree modifications, adoption, minor and adult guardianship, and conservatorship. Collaborative, mediated, uncontested, or contested, one thing holds steady across every case — a calm, deliberate approach matched to what the family actually needs.
The firm's signature approach keeps families in control of the outcome. Collaborative divorce — a structured, out-of-court process under Washington's RCW 7.77 — and mediation let both spouses reach a written agreement privately, rather than leaving the decisions to a calendar judge. When a case belongs in court, the firm litigates in its own measured style.
New clients start with a Case Evaluation to confirm fit. Many continue with a Legal Roadmap Session — a flat-fee meeting with a senior attorney that produces a written plan of next steps. No retainer, no commitment to full representation, no pressure.
History
Established in 2018.
Truce® Law's Olympia office serves families across Thurston County and the South Puget Sound with the full range of family law — divorce, parenting plans, post-decree work, adoption, and contested matters. Serving the capital region since 2019, the office works with families in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, and surrounding communities. What sets Truce apart is its approach, not its practice mix: calm, strategic, and focused on giving families more control over the outcome instead of leaving it to a calendar judge. When court is the right venue, the firm litigates in its own measured style. When it isn't, Truce helps families reach agreements privately and keep the process out of the public record.
