I had been falsely charged with domestic violence in May, 2019. Platt & Buescher was successful getting all charges dismissed. February of 2020, I had the good fortune to have Mimi Buescher take over my divorce. Mimi is a woman of integrity, she was looking out for me and the most reasonable outcome after a long ordeal. She drafted an offer based on the length of our short marriage. With a little time she convinced the other side to accept the offer. I was divorced April 2020. She is an amazing attorney with many years of experience, she knows family law, and knows the legal community on Island County… She is very persuasive and knowledgeable. She was able to bring a reasonable outcome to my long ordeal. I can’t express enough thanks to her and this firm. I most highly recommend her. Do not hesitate in seeking her representation. She made all the difference for me.

Mimi Buescher assisted with my final hearing with the Island County court in Oak Harbor in regards to my DUI incident. Fortunately we were able to down to a reckless. I wasn't working directly with Mimi on the case but she stepped in effortlessly to cover my hired attorney due to a scheduling conflict. Everything went smooth and she was very thorough in the short amount of time we worked together. Literally just an hour of time and we executed. We were in and out with court and probation in time for my trip back to the airport. Mimi has been a lawyer for awhile and knows the ins and outs. She is also close to the community as I recognized she knew some of the others in the court like the PD and the city judge. What stood out to me was she was very personable and gave very good advise to keep me at ease following the case. The process is long, but if you respect it, it will be fine in the end.

Mimi Buescher is the most detail oriented and conscientious attorney I have ever worked with. Her span of knowledge is far more encompassing than a typical lawyer. She brings to the table a long list of complex accomplished success stories and is well reputed in her field. I have worked with Mimi several times and most would agree I am not the easiest client. She always comes through and for this reason I am a lifelong customer/client. Needing an attorney is never an enjoyable experience but to have representation in your court that is actually a primary advocate helps a whole lot. I would recommend Ms. Buescher to anyone in need of advice or a warrior on your side.

This attorney is very sensitive to many things including trying to make sure she does not use up valuable time unless necessary. As I was going through my (contentious) divorce, she certainly was representing me, but as my son's stability was important to me, she listened and we tried to work together with the other side as best as possible to do what was right for him. I would recommend Mimi to anyone and she is very good at what she does. She is experienced and professional and keeps the client in mind. Thank you, Mimi!

Mimi handled all of my cases with extreme attention to detail. I was facing losing my daughter to mother who did everything under the sun to keep me away from my daughter though falsified statements. She was able to bring me truthful answers and satisfaction at a time that I was feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, and unfulfilled with my custody situation. And in these moments Mimi never forgot what our goals were. Her professionalism and focus on my case never wavered. She was always in constant contact through all forms of communication to answer any question regardless of how minuscule they may be. Mimi showed my family the utmost empathy throughout this process and I urge anyone in need of representation to take advantage of the plethora of legal knowledge she has to offer. I now have Primary Custody of my daughter. Thank you so much Mimi. I could not have done it without you.

I am very grateful to Mimi Buescher. When I found myself in the process of a divorce, I was so shocked that I couldn't process any information. On the advice of a friend, I hired Mimi Buescher who agreed to work with me on very short notice. Ms. Buescher was amazing--she told me exactly what to do, gave me excellent advice, and redirected me appropriately when I got off track. She worked like a maniac for me, and responded immediately when I needed her. I felt completely protected and supported. Her passion for her job is contagious, and she was a terrific role model for me throughout the divorce process. She has a great understanding of people, and because of her calm and reassuring approach, she was able to diffuse some very difficult issues that came up in my case. She also made sure I had excellent financial advice and psychological support, and connected me with the best people in the business, which enabled me to mediate a very favorable settlement under extremely adverse circumstances.

I was going through a very contentious divorce from my abusive ex husband. Not only was I needing custody of my daughter, I also needed child support. My initial consultation with Mimi was great. But things slowly declined after. Every time we met, she acted like we had never met. "Are you the one who has the fireman husband?" No. When we served my ex with divorce papers, she sent the wrong ones. And had to back track and send the correct ones. She did nothing to tell me of the divorce process from a legal point. A bit of a overview of things to come - i.e. the discovery process, court, etc. I needed a lawyer who would reassure me and prepare me for what was to come. Mimi did none of this and still acted confused when I went to her with questions. Her intern knew more than she did and often had to correct Mimi. It was very scary using her because my ex did go out and hire a Wolf as his attorney. The biggest problem with Mimi is she forgot to make my ex take my name off the home loan. So, whereas he has the home and the debt, my name is still on the loan with no provision on a time frame in which he has to remove my name. This is a HUGE oversight I feel a lawyer should have told me about. My ex just laughed when I asked him when he might remove my name from the home loan of 80k. I went to Mimi trusting her to do her job and fight for me. She didn't. WA state laws fought harder for me than she did. Do yourself a favor and take your money to a lawyer who knows what they are doing.

Mimi is an excellent lawyer and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking divorce or family law services. She assisted me with my divorce this year, and thanks to her hard work, the matter was settled as smoothly and as quickly as possible. I personally prefer email communication to phone calls and meetings, especially because I have a busy travel schedule. Mimi was excellent to work with over email, kept me up to date and was highly responsive to all inquiries. I felt like I was a top priority for her and that she cared about the case.

Mimi helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. She treated me with respect and compassion. She relieved so much stress that divorce brings. I was lost before meeting with Mimi. I am truely grateful for all of her help and I would recommend her to anyone who is having to deal with a divorce.

Mimi allowed my to stay in control of the case and help guide things along. We were up against the stereotypical win lose attorney dispite the case being collaborative between the parties. Mimi managed to help keep the cooperation on track during mediation, dispite the opposing lawyer attempting to force the case to an expensive trial

Mimi helped me come to grips with the reality of my custody situation. The complex nature of our legal system, and the navigation of it, makes it quite time consuming and difficult, at best. Mimi was a knowledgable ally, and I felt better after each consultation. She kept me up to date on my case, and even helped me locate some resources to help myself. I would hire her again in the future, if I needed help.
