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.

As a vendor that has worked with Michael and his staff for several months now I can say they are professional and have provided prompt responses. They understand that having a firm where people are confident that they will be taken care of is crucial...and they have taken the appropriate steps and put a system in place to ensure that your specific situation with regards to Divorce or Family law situations. As a Seattle native myself, I can tell you they are some of the best attorneys that Seattle has to offer. Plus who doesn't like an excuse to visit Ballard.
