Erica and Caitlin represented me during the divorce proceedings with the domestic violence case. They are efficient, organized and know the law well. I highly recommend this firm!

I had a very challenging case in so many ways from start to finish. It was never a dull moment! Erica and her team of Caitlin and Dona absolutely saved me in so many ways. I was awarded 78% custody of my kids in the end, and a very fair financial settlement which is saying a lot in the State of WA. My case was a roller coaster that many would say only happens in nightmares, but the team was able to deliver a very prompt and professional approach to the case and also keep my mental state in check. I couldn’t be happier with how it all ended on a positive note, and cannot thank everyone at KSL that was apart of this journey with me. I’d highly recommended Erica to anyone out there to represent you with your case, she truly is one of the best. Thank you again!

Erica and her team have been nothing short of phenomenal!!! I tried taking my child's mother to court 3 times after she kidnapped her and was unsuccessful because I had no idea how to properly navigate the court systems before I finally bit the bullet and looked into hiring an attorney. I called 3 different firms when I started my search for a good legal team. The first didn't answer nor call me back, the second firm was really dry and short with me during my initial phone call like they didn't seem to care about what I was saying just throwing price quotes in my face, so I hung up on them and then I contacted Knauf Santos law. From the initial intake phone call her office was so empathetic, so inviting, so kind and they seemed so eager to know more and try to help me! They stood out from all the other firms so I had a great feeling about them and after having my consultation 2 days after the intake phone call I knew they were the firm for me. Erica was so personable, so empathetic, so knowledgeable and so strategic! Erica brought it to my attention at the intake that I had enough evidence to not only have my ex held in contempt but also other things AND I could even get more residential time with my child than what I was initially given in my initial parenting plan (which I always dreamed of) but I had no idea! The fight was long, this custody battle has been hard, 2 years ago I started out with a 4 hour visit a week (super unfair) and now 2 years later with the help of Erica, Dona and their fabulous team I now have full custody of my daughter and I'm so grateful because I couldn't have done any of this without them. Not because it wasn't possible but because I was so lost without them and they have so much knowledge and access to things I had no idea of! They've helped me in so many ways! Since hiring them we have been undefeated in court. Things got tough dealing with my case, they continued to stand by me and help guide me during this process and were so punctual, I remember one day I emailed Dona (Paralegal) and was like wait you guys that thing was due 2 days ago what do we do now?!!!! Dona responded, we already had that taken care of don't worry. :) They have been so on top of things and handling all the all the footwork and making things clear for me and prompting me to do things correctly, they made this horrible experience as breezy and smooth sailing for as they possibly could, I tell ya! I paid a lot of money out of pocket to cover expenses but it was worth every. single. penny. I would do it all over again. I tell anyone I know or run into about these guys! Dona and Erica are angels, I feel like I owe them so much more than what I have to give for all they've done for me and my family during the hardest time in our life. I hope God continues to bless them in life and everything that they do. KNAUF SANTOS LAW IS A 10000 OUT OF 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Erica and Dona, thank you for making the unthinkable possible, thank you for bringing my daughter back home, we are now complete with our missing puzzle piece! Thank you, thank you <3

Look no further! Put her on retainer right away! I had a very complicated case, child custody, divorce, abuse, relocation out of state, child support, spousal support, and a very hard ex who dragged his feet every step of the way. Erica communicated to me via email, text, phone daily while in the thick of court hearings, emergency motions and relocating. She is down to earth, yet professional, fights hard and doesn't take no for an answer. She even went so far as to give me a ride home from mediation and court a number of times. She is determined and tells it like it is. She is realistic in expectations yet keeps her eye on the end goal. She truly helped me relay my story to the court/judge and all ended well for the betterment of my children and my lives. I can not say enough good things about her and her firm. She's the best of the best!!

Erica is a true professional and a compassionate person; she helped me overcome great emotional distress and guided me through a very difficult divorce. I felt I was lucky to have her and her team in my corner because they offered me support and encouragement even when I was ready to give up. Erica had my and my daughter's best interest at heart and fought for what she knew to be a fair settlement.

Erica has been our attorney for over 5 years through an incredibly challenging parenting plan/custody matter. She listens, and remembers and is highly knowledgeable, responsive, and highly respected by the courts and judges. She's witty, well spoken, throughout as well as to the point which judges take notice of! This matters! She has guided us and fought incredibly hard to keep our child safe in an extremely high conflict situation. Our child has flourished because of the incredible effort, time, energy, and true gift Mrs. Santos has. She's been a literal earth angel to us and we would recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel. She's been by our side through a full trial and countless motions since and we are so very pleased with the level of service and support she has given to our family. We honestly don't know where we'd be without her. We would give her 10 stars if we could! She is the absolute best in her field! Forever grateful to the expertise and professionalism and her impeccable work on our case. Thank you, Mrs. Santos!

Erica represented me during both my divorce and domestic violence protection order hearings. She and her staff never treated me like I was a means to the bottom line: they were empathetic human beings who understood what I was going through and made me feel supported. Erica and her team ferociously defended me and worked to protect me and my son. Erica is so experienced she always seemed to be one step ahead of the game, and she was able to accurately predict the outcome of different choices, which was extremely helpful in coming to some difficult conclusions. She was completely transparent with me the entire experience which reduced the number of surprises we had along the way, in turn reducing my anxiety. I can't imagine having done this with any other lawyer, and I'm so thankful to the entire Knauf Santos team for their consistency, reliability, and thoughtful care of my family.

Erica and her team were phenomenal. They picked up my case from another lawyer and really were everything I expected, and more. Two things I would point out specifically for others looking for a divorce attorney: 1) Erica has a very good grasp on likely outcomes in court or arbitration - before temp orders (court) and final orders (arbitration) I got Erica's opinion on what a likely outcome was, and both times she was very close to the actual outcomes (this is extremely valuable in negotiation). 2) While the hourly rates of Erica and her team were comparable to other attorneys (including the first lawyer on my case), I spent much less money on Erica because she was direct and efficient with her use of time. I highly recommend Erica Knauf Santos and her team

Erica was able to see where I needed to go before I did. I wish I would have listened to her advice initially because she was right on with her thoughts and the direction I needed to go. Fair priced and wonderful!!! Completed my entire divorce and dealt with some very complicated issues including addiction and autism.

Erica fought for me when I could not. She was compassionate, encouraging, smart and tough, and walked me through a very difficult time in my life.

Erica is an amazing attorney! She helped me navigate through my tumultuous divorce and parenting plan with patience, understanding and continuous encouragement. I really appreciated being able to have an affordable consultation prior to retaining her so that I could get an idea of how to proceed. She patiently walked me through the process and gave me great advice that helped me secure the results I needed at a reasonable price and timeline. She and her assistants continued to welcome my requests even after my divorce was finalized when new disagreements came up with my ex husband regarding our property and children. She and her assistants are always very friendly, welcoming, thorough and quick to respond. I can never thank them enough for everything they did for me! I highly recommend them!

They handled my case in the best interest of my child. Since the day of the consultation, I knew they were going to do everything possible to bring me family estability. They are very responsive and reliable!
