I was involved in Domestic Violence 2 years ago because I got fight with my boyfriend, and I was scared of facing this problem after I got release from the jail, and then I decided to go back to my country to stay with parents. It took so long to get a visa to come back here to study, and I have procrastinated this case for 2 years. Two months ago, I decided to face this problem, and I started to do some research about getting a DV attorney for helping me to dismiss my case. I find this useful website, and I found Jennifer who has 20 years experience on Domestic Violence. I contacted her immediately, and prepared everything to talk her. After the first meeting, I hired her as my attorney. During the first one-hour meeting, I told her everything that was related to my case; and she is really helpful and friendly. She represented on the court for me only three times, and every time was very short. I believed that she did a lot of efforts to my case so that the case can be done so fast and smooth. Jennifer is my first attorney, and she was really helpful and nice to me. I recommend her to everyone is struggling with domestic violence.

I can recommend Jennifer without reservation. My family hired her recently to navigate a situation that was extremely challenging both logistically and emotionally. I trusted that she would bring the right combination of professional skill and personal compassion, and she did not disappoint. I was highly impressed with her ability to honor my family member's needs while navigating a complex situation. I was also grateful for the ways in which her work helped to ease the burden for all family members involved. I would not have trusted anyone else as thoroughly with my family's well-being.

We hired Jennifer to represent our daughter who made a poor decision primarily due to substance/mental health issues. Jennifer has represented many clients with similar issues and was straightforward with our daughter. She emphasized that these issues needed to be addressed not only to assist in a positive outcome for her case, but even more importantly for her long term well being. We quickly learned that Jennifer was our trusted ally in fighting for a second chance for our daughter. Jennifer and our daughter communicated well and regularly throughout the process. She also always made herself available to us, responding promptly and thoughtfully to any of our questions or concerns. Jennifer was able to obtain the most favorable outcome possible for our daughter, and we are very thankful for all she did for our family.

After getting into the first legal trouble of my life, Jennifer was caring, compassionate, and eager to assist my family. She was able to guide me to take all of the necessary steps to reach our goal. After a few months, Jennifer shared that we had reached the best possible outcome of the case, which was the most amazing news and a great relief. I would highly recommend Jennifer Horwitz. She is reliable, responds almost immediately to emails and phone calls, and has a top-notch education and background. She is also patient and thoughtful, and overall a pleasure to work with when times are tough.

I worked with Mark Alexander on my divorce. I hired him as my pro se attorney while doing most of the paperwork and legwork myself. His calm demeanor and knowledge about maneuvering the legal system and not allowing me to give up my rights and desires was invaluable. He was especially helpful guiding me through the online court system for submissions and locating progress reports. Mark was so professional and retained a personal touch throughout this painful journey.

Seattle Divorce Services made me comfortable by giving me a clear understanding of the process I was going to enter. Knowing the steps made for a better experience. Mark was personable and gave very fast responses to my questions and opposing council.

This is a great group. I worked with Mimi Buescher, who is a phenomenal lawyer. Her support staff is also excellent. When I found myself in the process of a divorce, I was so shell-shocked that I couldn't process any information. 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.

When I first met Mimi I was a mess. I was in a very mentally fragile state and had a hard time focusing. I was in a Divorce that had really taken a toll on me and I was ready to just walk away from it all. Mimi gave me hope and was able to help me through a process I did not think I had the strength to get through. In the end she was able to get me a fair settlement. Actually about 10x what I was originally asking for. She helped me see what I thought I should get was actually not what she thought I deserved. Mimi could not have been more professional. She always returned emails and calls promptly. I do not believe you could put your trust in a better person through this tough process. She helped ease me into arbitration a process I did not think I was up to either. I could not really put into words how much she did for me. Not just coming out with a great settlement but a stronger person too. I will forever be grateful for all Mimi and Seattle Divorce Services did for me. Shad Coughlin

Mimi handled all of my cases with extreme attention to detail. 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. Thank you so much Mimi.

I feel so blessed to have found Janel Ostrem. Janel has represented me in my dissolution for the past ten months. I was referred to her by a friend who raved about her. I can see why. Ms. Ostrem is highly skilled, professional and compassionate. When I came to Janel I was very reluctant to hire a lawyer. She felt so strongly about her ability to help me in my case that she contacted me afterward to reassure me that I was entitled to her help. She knew that I needed that extra connection. Janel is such a wonderful balance of caring and confident strength. I've trusted her from the beginning. Janel has treated my case as her priority and it is evident that she cares about me and my needs. She promptly answers emails and phone calls and is attentive to deadlines and timelines. I felt confident in Janel's knowledge of the law. She took the time to carefully think through and discuss with me all of the options in my case. Janel has made a very difficult time in my life more manageable. She is top-notch. I definitely plan on sending others her way!

Janel has been working with me for more than a year. I was referred to her through my employer, and I could not have asked for a better attorney. She is very skilled in her knowledge of the laws, courteous, and very thorough in her work. She is personable and seems to really care about me and my individual situation. She goes above and beyond what I would expect from an attorney. She answers any question I have right away, whether it be through a phone call, an email, or even in person, and that is the best feeling to have when you are going through a stressful ordeal, such as a child custody case. I never feel as if she is trying to just "make a buck" off of me, but rather that she is thinking about how she can best serve me and my children.I am so confident in her abilities as an attorney, that I have referred friends and family to her. Janel is someone that I can highly recommend as an outstanding professional,reliable and compassionate attorney.

Mimi was very helpful, professional, and compassionate. My questions were answered clearly, my emails and phone calls answered promptly, and the entire process couldn't have gone more smoothly in what had the potential to be a stressful ordeal. The rate was also extremely reasonable. I can highly recommend Mimi for your family law issues.
