Seattle Lawyers For The Cases Nobody Plans For

Family, criminal defense, employment and business matters, handled by the attorney you actually meet. We quote fees in writing before anything is filed, explain each step in plain language, and reply the same working day.

A Full Service Firm That Sees It Through

Family, property, employment and business work sit under one roof. When a separation turns into a valuation fight, or a dismissal turns into a contract claim, you are not starting over with a new firm.

    Direct Attorney Access

    You work with the attorney who takes your matter, not a rotating desk. Calls and email get an answer the same working day.

  • 02

    Fees In Writing First

    Before anything is filed you get a written scope and a fee estimate. No invoice at the end of a matter that you have not already seen coming.

    One Firm Throughout

    Four practice groups, one intake. Describe the problem once and it goes to the attorney who handles that kind of case.

Most people meet us during the worst week of their year. Our job is to make the next twelve months feel survivable, and then to make them ordinary again.

Law & Order is a Seattle firm working across family law, criminal defense, employment and small business matters in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Most of our work arrives by referral, either from former clients or from other attorneys who ran out of capacity.

What clients tell us they remember afterwards is not the outcome sheet. It is knowing what happens next. Every matter opens with a written plan: the steps, who does them, what each one costs, and the dates we are working toward. When something changes, you hear it from us before you hear it from the court.

A Divorce With A Business In The Middle

A jointly owned contracting company turned a straightforward separation into a valuation fight. Both spouses drew income from the business, both had signed the bank guarantees, and neither wanted to sell it just to divide the proceeds.

We brought a forensic accountant in during the first month and agreed the valuation method with the other side before anything was filed. The property division settled in mediation. The company kept trading, and the children kept the schedule they already knew.

What Clients Say About Us

  • “ I called on a Tuesday expecting a voicemail maze. An attorney rang me back that afternoon, walked me through what the next sixty days would look like, and it played out the way she said it would.”

    Client: Family Law

  • “ The estimate I got in the first week was the number on the final invoice. After the firm I used before this one, that by itself was worth the move.”

    Client: Employment Matter

  • “ They talked me out of filing. It cost them the work and it saved me about four months of my life, which tells you most of what you need to know.”

    Client: Business Dispute

  • “ Every email got an answer, usually inside the hour. Not once did I have to explain my own case back to the person handling it.”

    Client: Criminal Defense
