Alexandra "Xana" helped me as a single father retain 50/50 custody of my two children. My ex-wife and mother of our two children decided that after 8 years of being divorced in another state that she would paint a completely untrue picture of me as an abusive, alcoholic and unfit father. Since the children's parenting plan was from another state, that added to the complexity of the case. My ex-wife hired an attorney from a "prestigious" Bellevue family law firm that has profiles of countless lawyers on their website. Her lawyer asked for three different emergency injunctions due to child safety. All three were rejected by multiple judges! The difference between Xana and the Bellevue law firms lawyer is that Xana uses facts, the laws and the truth. This case lasted nearly a year, and was the worst experience of my life. It was not cheap and emotionally exhausting to say the least. Xana was always there to answer my questions and give me guidance. The Bellevue law firm and my ex-wife decided to request a dismissal of the case because Xana was more prepared, more knowledgeable and ultimately a better lawyer. If you need a family law lawyer, Xana is the best there is in the Puget Sound!

I have worked with numerous attorneys and “Xana” is a 10 out 10. I had a very complicated case with the custody of a special needs adult daughter. It required knowledge of family law (involving stipulations from out of state), guardianship law, and special needs law. Finding someone knowledgeable in these separate pillars is very rare. I was very impressed in how “Xana” quickly got her arms around the key issues, and developed a comprehensive strategy to counter the opposing council’s motions. I was very impressed with her knowledge of the new and emerging laws (in these areas), and how we could take advantage of them. “Xana” is a very smart, creative, and compassionate person. It was a real pleasure to work with her and her staff. I would not have prevailed without her.

Alexandra ("Xana") represented me through my divorce, and was someone who I could rely on not just for legal advice, but also to keep the focus on the underlying issues, and help dial down the emotions when the other side would make aggressive moves that were simply not child-centric. At many points, it was a draining journey and she was a rock steady resource. She truly has an encylopedic knowledge of the law and one thing that helped to keep the many loose ends tied down was to have her assistant keep a punch list of the items that were in play. Certainly, you'll benefit from Xana representing you and providing the right context about the implications of a given situation.

I knew Xana professionally and personally before hiring her to handle the post-divorce acrimony between me and my ex-husband. The work she has done so far has exceeded my already high expectations. She works hard to put her clients' needs first, and is very accessible and very present. While she specializes in "collaborative" family law, she was undaunted by the very un-collaborative, and indeed hostile, approach of my ex-husband to resolving issues surrounding our teenaged child. She is well-connected in the legal community, and frequently reaches out to other professionals with relevant experience to be sure that she is taking the most appropriate and effective approach to the issues. Her communications with opposing counsel are always well-written, non-threatening, persuasive and to-the-point. In addition to being a stellar attorney, Xana is a wonderful person who I enjoy interacting with.

I have been required to hire lawyers to advocate on my behalf several times. Never have I felt more attended to, cared for and understood as I have by Ms. Moore-Wulsin. She is virtually always available, has an incomparable knowledge of the law and has a fluid understanding of people. I think her greatest skill is her ability to empathize and listen before turning her client toward positive and effective action that will keep the process moving forward rather than allowing it to become mired in the excess and unhelpful emotions that so often cloud divorce actions. In prior cases I have felt like lawyers assist in the building of acrimony between adverse parties. What strikes me the most about Xana is that she is a consensus builder. Were my husband's attorney a more effective client manager I am confident our divorce would have been resolved by Xana in record speed. She absolutely has my back but guides me and my thinking to reasonable outcomes. She is a creative problem solver, a compassionate listener and she does not waste words, time or money. I think that she is an outstanding value in a family law attorney and I wish that I had met her under different circumstances as she is a woman that I would love to have as a friend. She is brilliant and I am grateful for every moment of counsel I have received from her and would give her my highest recommendation.
