Natalie Roberts was focused, to the point and responded to all information requests within 24 hours. If you've been down this path before and experienced poor response times from an attorney then you know just how frustrating and stressful this can be. Scheduling of phone calls for questions was easy, response times quick and I never felt rushed while discussing concerns. Expectations regarding the outcome of my Child Support Modification case were set early and that's what she delivered on every step of the process. Her knowledge of this type of case was thorough. Natalie confidently rejected outlandish wants from the other party. Her assistant Donna was professional and very helpful getting all court required financial documents in order and in the correct format in very short order due to a last minute change of attorneys to this team. This level of assistance and professionalism was unexpected and worth every penny.

The team at Envision was very helpful and took the time to understand my specific situation. I felt that they listened to me and my concerns and helped me to navigate the system to meet my goals. I felt they also provided advice on how to do things the most efficiently so I was spending money unnecessarily. I needed assistance with an interstate custody agreement but they also discovered I needed a few more items that were previously overlooked in my divorce made part of court records. Attorney Robert's and the Bellevue team were great!

As someone who has been involved with family law for over 10 years and has represented myself and sought representation from other family law attorneys, Natalie reestablished the bar for me. She helped me understand each step of the process. She didn't sell me a bag of goods. She was authentic and realistic from consultation through the final order. I couldn't have asked for better representation. Her understanding of family law and court room etiquette helped put my mind at ease. I came away from this experience knowing a lot more about family law than I did going in.
If only Natalie represented me from the beginning of my engagement with the family court system....
Thanks Natalie! You are AMAZING!!!

Natalie is one of the most professional people I have ever met. Natalie helped me defend against a baseless custody change case. From the first instance, it was clear to me that Natalie is a champion for what is right and fair. She was consistently quite detail-oriented with a great eye for things that truly matter. With her guidance, we focused our efforts on the most meaningful and impactful parts of the case without neglecting anything of value. She was also extremely inclusive willing to listen to every thought and concern as she helped guide the process towards our desired goals. Natalie is an extremely respectful and understanding person who genuinely cares. Her preparation and delivery at the hearing was simply perfect. Not only did she represent the facts fully, but she also perfectly conveyed the legal grounds that ultimately led to the "best case" results we had hoped for. Without a doubt, I would recommend Natalie to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I hired Natalie to help me protect my child from a very dangerous situation that involved my ex-wife. Due to the severity of the situation, there was no way I was going to consider trying to address the issue without an attorney. It was a multi-year ordeal with many twists and turns, and Natalie was in my corner every step of the way. She expertly helped me understand the many complex issues at hand, navigate my options, and stay focused on the most important objectives during numerous hearings and eventually a long, grueling trial. Natalie really understands the climate of the family law courtroom and nuances of the law, and as a result, she is keenly qualified to help dads navigate the Washington court system. I recommend Natalie without any reservation whatsoever.

On 10/16/2017, I was served (in St. Petersburg, Florida) with a Summons, as well as a Petition to Change a Parenting Plan. Despite being a Florida resident (and having already fought a 2 year Divorce and Child Custody battle in the State of Florida), my ex-wife (who is now living in WA) was attempting to "domesticate" our Parenting Plan in the State of Washington. This, obviously, was a strategic decision that would have put me at a HUGE disadvantage as I attempt to remain in my children's lives.
This was also an incredibly stressful situation because I didn't know any attorneys, or law firms, in the State of Washington.
After panicking for a couple of days, I spent the next few days researching dozens of family law attorneys and law firms in the Seattle area. After reading dozens of websites and reviews, I liked everything that I read about Goldberg Jones in Seattle.
After filling out their online web form, I was contacted (within about an hour) by Kenneth Alan (Goldberg Jones' Managing Attorney).
Mr. Alan was incredibly professional and understanding of my situation. He provided me with a free, over-the-phone, consultation where we discussed various options and arrived at an affordable down payment. He was also extremely patient with me as I needed to coordinate my decision with my local Florida attorney.
After reviewing my intake paperwork, Mr. Alan assigned my case to Natalie Roberts (formerly Natalie Rasmussen). In short, Mr. Alan picked the absolute best attorney for my particular situation.
Over the next 6-7 weeks, I worked closely with Natalie as she prepared to contest the WA court's jurisdiction under the UCCJEA. This is an incredibly fact-specific area of family law that not a lot of attorneys have experience in. Natalie responded to multiple pleadings that were filed by my ex-wife's attorney. More importantly, she communicated with me throughout this whole process and she was always available to me by phone and/or email. She also coordinated with my Florida attorney as all parties prepared for a UCCJEA jurisdictional hearing.
Natalie researched all of the jurisdictional issues at play, drafted incredibly professional responses to my ex-wife's pleadings and always conferred with me and asked for feedback before filing anything on my behalf. She even went out of her way to prepare an Affidavit for my current wife to file as part of my case's official record (something that she did not have a professional obligation to do).
On the day of our UCCJEA jurisdictional hearing, Natalie attended court in Seattle, while I appeared in court in Florida with my Florida attorney. Natalie was able to focus on the jurisdictional issue at hand and was completely prepared to argue our position - while also rebutting my ex-wife's pompous and arrogant attorney.
With Natalie's assistance, we were able to convince both judges (in WA and FL) that Florida was the proper venue to contest my Parenting Plan. This was a HUGE relief and a very significant victory as the thought of re-litigating an entire divorce and custody case, from 3,000+ miles away, was a pretty significant fear of mine.
Earlier today, I received the Washington Court's Final Order on UCCJEA Jurisdiction. My ex-wife's entire Petition (along with her hundreds of pages of supporting documents) was "dismissed with prejudice" which was my best-case-scenario and an early present this Holiday Season.
I could not be any happier with my choice of Goldberg Jones and I am extremely grateful that Mr. Alan assigned my case to Natalie Roberts.
Natalie - thank you, once again, for all of your hard work and professionalism.
If you are in need of professional, aggressive and affordable representation for a family law matter in the Seattle area, I would highly recommend that you consult with Natalie Roberts of Goldberg Jones.

When I hired Natalie to work on my divorce case, I had been unrepresented for over two months. I had been bullied by the opposing attorney because of my lack of knowledge and experience in the field of law. Natalie put an end to the flow of unwarranted demands and helped me negotiate a fair settlement. Direct communication between myself and Natalie prevented wasted time, I was presented with facts about the outcome of certain decisions, I was never pressured to make any specific decisions, and when I had questions, Natalie was very responsive and helpful. I am sure that Natalie would act as top-notch representation in any case, but if you are a man seeking a fair divorce in WA State, I highly recommend that you consult with Natalie Roberts.

2 years ago I retained Natalie Rasmussen for my child support modification case. I tried to represent myself 2 previous times and was unsuccessful. It was a very stressful time for me and my family. Natalie helped me through the case and was honest. She always let me know which way it could go good or bad. In the end she won the case for me. Natalie is so professional and great at her job that other dads waiting for their case to be heard wanted to hire her. I appreciate everything she has done for me and I highly recommend Natalie Rasmussen.
