Michelle and her team were wonderful to work with during a difficult time. She was always easy to reach and very responsive to all requests . She provided thorough, level headed advice and guided me through all the stages of the divorce . I would highly recommend her to anyone

They were really great to work with, during a very difficult time. I was recommended Seattle Divorce Services by a co-worker and I would fully recommend them myself. Michelle was especially wonderful.

Michelle Danley is very personable and thorough, and she has exceeded my expectations. I hired her for a collaborative prenup which she walked me through every step of the process and addressed all of my questions and concerns. I also appreciate her timely responses. Keep up the great work Michelle!

Without going into too much detail, I will say that Nathan was wonderful to work with through a very difficult time. Over multiple engagements spanning a year, he was thoughtful, considerate, and always took the time to explain both the WHAT and the WHY of the situation and his recommendation. I trusted him to represent my best interests and we were able to walk away with the right solution to a difficult problem. Along the way, Nathan demonstrated genuine care and concern for me and my kids, and I will always appreciate that. No one wants a lawyer, but if you have to have one, he's the guy!

Nathan exceeded my expectations. He was kind and thorough in his approach. I felt like I was really listened to and that he cared about my individual situation. Nathan presented me with multiple options of what I could do along the way, and gave me the space to make the decision that was right for me with each step. It was a relief to be able to work with Nathan - one less thing to worry about during a challenging time.

I worked with Michelle Danley for over a year to get through a very difficult divorce. We had three mediation sessions and many months of attempted reasoning before that. Michelle is calm and has a professional demeanor and opinion that helped me stay on track when I was ready to go straight to court. She always had my best interests in mind and never insisted on unnecessary expenses - be it emailing or conferencing. It does not mean that she doesn't communicate well; on the contrary, when it comes time to communicate, she is always timely and on point. I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who's looking for representation in a divorce.

I came to Michelle frustrated with my previous lawyer , Michelle and her team were the best in handling my divorce case without even needing a mediation ,she is very timely, communicative about what her client wants while still offering her perspective to come to a good and quicker conclusion,I am thoroughly pleased with her service from the start to finish. If you want an excellent divorce lawyer,hire Michelle.

Before filing for divorce, I spoke with about a dozen attorneys in the area. I felt like some said what they thought I wanted to hear, while others seemed almost disinterested. After narrowing it down to a few, I chose Michelle Danley from Seattle Divorce Services because I felt like she was an excellent listener, and gave me her unbiased thoughts instead of saying things to land a new client. My case was complex, not for the finances/assets, but because of a parental rights dispute. Michelle and her team gave me excellent representation. While I no doubt am bias because of our success, I'd like to think that even if we had been less successful, that I would still appreciate her efforts and high-quality work. Besides that, Michelle was great at managing someone (me) who was dealing with a difficult situation. She was kind and professional. Her communications were excellent; she responded quickly to my inquiries and promptly passed on information from the courts and opposing counsel. I myself am a licensed attorney, and while I am not an expert in family law, I felt that her work could not have been better. I think that there are many types of family law attorneys out there. There are some who will guide you and make decisions for you (with your consent) if you are not in a good state of mind to decide. There are others who will do what you ask even when that may not be in your best interest. Michelle is someone who will tell you what she thinks, and will discuss the options with you. She is willing to make recommendations as well, but ultimately, she will inform you as best she can then will leave it up to you to decide. That is exactly what I was looking for, and if it is what you need, you may want to consider talking to her. I could not recommend her more highly.

Michelle is the consummate professional. Thorough, Thoughtful and Timely in all she does. There was a pivotal moment in our work together where she gently, but directly guided me and suggested I change the narrative of how I was thinking about my decision. I have carried that with me ever since and I’ve shared it with others. She took a painful situation and made it as smooth as possible…and for that I’m eternally grateful.
