My wife and I hired Chuck to help us with custody of my oldest daughter. Chuck worked diligently and walked us through each step of the process to make sure we understood what was happening. Our court case was seamless and handled to perfection.

Chuck Szurszewski is my attorney for my separation, divorce, and spousal support modification proceedings. My divorce was extremely acrimonious. The initial proceedings took more than two years, over one issue; my ex not wanting to pay spousal support. Adding to the difficulty of my divorce was that I no longer resided in Thurston county, let alone Washington state, when the motion was filed. Travel would have been very difficult for me, as I have a rare leukemia, and was dealing with issues of chemotherapy side effects. Chuck and his team handled virtually everything for me. Through delay after delay - my ex having to retain new counsel two separate times - and not being able to come to an agreement, we were finally scheduled for trial. I had no fear of losing, because I know that Chuck fights for what is right in the Family Law Court. With mere hours to go before the start of trail, an agreement was reached, with Chuck at the helm of my case. We work extremely well as a team. I even persuaded him to request additional attorney fees be paid by my ex, since he had cause so many delays. Although Chuck did not believe the judge would approve, he did add these to the proposed settlement offer. However, they were, and I was awarded an equitable judgment. Due to my ex having had his maintenance amount modified a few years ago, we just returned to negotiations. We have now successfully restored the order to its original amount. Chuck undertook my case this time around as a follow-up, and we were able to keep things out of the courtroom. Whenever I speak with Chuck, I am left feeling better, in no small part due to his uplifting laugh. He is genuinely a jovial person, who likes to help others. His work within the community of which I was a member and loved so much, matters to me immensely. When I met Chuck, it was if I had known him for years. He simply has a way of putting you at ease. For me, going through what was at the time the most difficult thing I had experienced, Chuck guided me through the catacombs of dank and darkness, reminding me that there is indeed light on the other side, and to leave all the bundles of unhealthy energy behind. I am blessed to’ve found Chuck Szurszewski to’ve represented me for all things related to my separation, divorce, and spousal support modifications. I do not hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

Chuck was a great lawyer for my Child custody trial. He was patient with me and explained in plain words a lot of the legal jargon. He was honest about the upfront cost of the case and explained the timelines to me. The case lasted over a year, but ultimately got what we were asking for. He works hard and is very polite, nice, and understanding. Great guy and happy to retain him.

Retaining Chuck was the best decision I could have ever made! I was in the process of divorcing my husband, who asked me to proceed with divorce without bringing attorneys into it. I agreed but that changed very quickly once emotions got stirred, domestic violence came about, and my husband fled the state with our son! I instantly contacted an attorney that I work with regularly who handles personal injury cases, and asked him who the best family law attorney is in Thurston County... He told me to go see Chuck! Chuck guided me step by step through everything and made me feel 150% comfortable! I didn't know much about the law when it came to divorce, parenting plans or child support. Having Chuck and his amazing paralegal, Khrys, there to help me was so reassuring. Divorce and creating a parenting plan are never fun nor easy situations, but everything was so smooth with them. Their communication level is astounding... I never once felt like I was left in the dark! They truly care about you, your children and your future. I am beyond pleased with the services they provided to me, their expertise, and their sincerity! I will absolutely recommend Chuck to anyone.. I mean, who wouldn't want the best of the best? :)

Chuck is exceptional. The communication, keeping me updated and responding, is very quick. His legal assistant, is the best of the best. Chuck can see a course of action within minutes and he follows through and acts on that immediately - with accurate precision and detail. This man knows how to write. I have worked with a couple of other attorney's in my life, and bar none, Chuck sets a very high standard. I would not hesitate for a split-second to hire him again if I needed to.

Chuck represented me in a lengthy and costly case. He maintained representing the voice of reason keeping the kids interest in mind. No matter how emotionally charged attacks my ex less honest ( but also experienced ) lawyer threw to inflame the case further Chuck stayed focused and prepared. If you have kids involved Chuck is the best choice in Thurston County.

Chuck represented me in a rather lengthy divorce that even went to the Court Of Appeals. He was always extremely prepared, organized and on top of the entire case. Very professional and knowlegable. I would have Chuck represent me again if I ever needed legal counsel in the future.

Chuck represented me in a divorce from my wife - herself a divorce attorney. What I appreciated about Chuck was his knowledge of the law, command of local rules and procedures (the case was filed in Thurston County vs. Pierce County where my wife practiced), and his ability to "ground me" when I was most stressed out. Chuck truly enjoys his work. He believes that parties should be able to work out differences without paying attorneys to do it for them. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Chuck commanded every court appearance we had and eased me through the entire process. In a divorce, nobody wins but both parties eventually got what they wanted without a lot of "bloodshed".
