Most people heavily slant their ratings of attorneys for divorce and custody cases based on emotions tied to the outcome. Well, I was unhappy with the outcome of my case, but I am still giving a very strong endorsement to my attorney, Mr. Yale Lewis. He always kept me informed, solicited my feedback and explained what he was going to do and why. His rational was always sound. He found a creative path forward during adequate cause that worked well. During the trial itself, he did a remarkable job of representing the situation as it happened and tying it to the law. He was able to point to the many holes in the opposing side’s portrayal of the situation. Before the judge’s verdict, I was very hopeful of the outcome. But as is often the case, the judge is the wildcard and brings in their own biases and interpretations of the law and weighs each piece of admitted evidence accordingly, often trying not to upset the apple cart. It is disappointing but understandable that they try to find every reason to keep the status quo. So what did I like about Yale that wasn’t mentioned above? Honesty, integrity, directness, he invested in understanding my case, and was far more knowledgeable about my family dynamics then my previous attorney. Yale was unafraid to give me honest opinions to determine my path going forward. Yale built a good case and he presented it well, and that is the best I could hope for.

Yale Lewis is a wonderful human being. He's a rare man. His knowledge of tribal law is impressive. He's an awesome litigator. His phenomenal ability to foresee what's possible in your case and his ability to navigate that as best as possible is a gift. He's never going to let you down. Never. He's a one of a kind lawyer. He's extremely intelligent. His staff is a wonderful extension of him. I am a client of his as a grand parent in a Civil custody trial. I believe he is a wonderful lawyer to help you protect your kids. I love the relationship we've developed. I highly recommend this law firm. He's a tiger in a suit.

Yale was the attorney I needed, not wanted. I was guided and directed in ways that helped my case and my life. His legal assistants Devin and Lisa are absolutely amazing. For me personally I realized that the amount I disagreed with Yale or his staff was in direct correlation with how much good they were actually doing for me. You will be represented thoughtfully, honestly, and realistically. I highly recommend this firm. Many thanks.

With a complicated venue shopping case involving a TRO and divorce in a county where no one lived or resided Yale law was able to squash the TRO and argue a UCCJEA from Clallam County from his office in Seattle, opposing counsel Payne was forced to drop his case due to lack of jurisdiction and admitting false facts to the record in order to obtain his original TRO. Yale law was professional, factual, and was Tribal friendly. Yale law was able to see through to the truth and made legal arguments that was indisputable. If you have a tribal case and the other party is venue shopping Yale law should be your go to. Thank you Yale law.

I think my case was a bit complicated being that we were not just dealing with King County Court, but also a Tribal Court. Mr. Lewis was able to navigate us through both courts, their paperwork and the different rules to win our guardianship case. Dealing with Mr. Lewis and his team: Devin, Lisa and Jonathan was a pleasure as everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help. I also really appreciated that every time I called the office, the phone was answered by a person. Anytime I had questions, they were either answered right away or someone was working to quickly getting an answer.

I highly recommend Yale and his team for their pragmatic approach, their expert guidance, and their effectiveness. I also particularly appreciated Yale’s honesty, integrity, and the compassion he showed throughout.

I called looking for someone to do a basic prenup for me. Everyone in this office was knowledgeable and friendly. Mr O Yale got our paperwork done in just a few days and was so detailed to make sure everything was done right. Would highly recommend him and his team and would definitely use them again if needed.

What I like about Law Offices of O. Yale 1. He always had a time for me even then I saw him dressed for the court. 2. It’s been 3 months after divorce and now I can more appreciate what he put extra into paper based on my conversation with him. 3. He is really hard working lawyer, and what I saw my wife spent on her lawyer and results we got- O. Yale should charge 3 times what I paid him. Thanks

Our family is extremely grateful to Yale and his entire team for helping us with a sensitive matter at short notice. Everyone we encountered was polite, professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate. It made all the difference for us in a very emotional situation. Highly recommend.

Guy took a 10k retainer showed up one time and withdrew from case leaving me helpless I got 3,500 back he only showed it one time. Guys is not a good lawyer or person I will be reporting to bar of wa laywers. More than likely lost my son because of him not even trying

Mr Lewis, Ok other than saying he is a great attorney, let me describe the details. He was up against an abusive millionaire whom abused me. I talked to many lawyers scared to to my case because of my offender’s team. I was a scared/abused woman that knew my abuser was lawyering up. Mr Lewis and his team was strong, caring and didn’t let my abuser walk all over me, despite he had many lawyers. Yale is a pro at standing ground and fighting for what is right. A positive outcome. Thank you Mr Lewis, and your team for your strength knowledge and compassion.
