Absolutely Horrible….we paid Desmond $10k just to help us fight paying POST secondary child support to a money hungry, lazy ex who spends her money on Botox and hair extensions, chooses not to work, has received tens of thousands of dollars from unemployment and hasn’t made a house payment in two years! Yet still accuses us of being the bad guys. Desmond’s communication was poor to say the least - no communication for weeks - no returned phone calls or emails, adding stress to a stressful situation. Desmond pushed out our court date just to get paid more. Now we’re out $10,000 AND paying for what should have been $0…he did nothing, $10k for his stamp on a paper. We chose him based off great reviews but all must have been bogus, just like the his confidence and appearance of reassurance during the initial consultation. We hate Washington State and would NEVER refer Desmond to anyone - even if he has 40 blah, blah years of experience. To top it off, now she’s taking us back to court for it all again and asking for documents we gave Desmond multiple times, yet he never submitted to the court.

If you are looking for an expert lawyer who knows military law and court proceedings inside and out, who will provide candid and accurate advice when you need it most, and will fight as hard or harder for your case then you would yourself then look no further than Sean Mangan. As parents with a son facing a court martial after being wrongfully accused we wanted the absolute best lawyer possible and we will be forever grateful we chose Sean. He kept us informed every step of the way, answered all of our questions with patience and helped us understand a very technical process. Sean was amazing in the courtroom displaying his outstanding knowledge of the law and the rights of the accused. We would absolutely recommend Sean to any other parents facing a similar situation and the peace of mind you will receive from knowing you have someone with Sean's experience, integrity and expertise fighting for your cause is well worth the cost.

Charles was very professional, he explained in ways that I understood..

Briefly spoke with Mr. Mangan regarding a complex situation and he took the time to explain things in detail via email. Provided great advise and broke things down as much as he could for free. Most places do not give service members a consultation without a charge, but he did. Would hire him if needed and would definitely recommend anyone who has any possible legal issues to reach out to him or the Law Offices of Jocelyn C. Stewart. FIVE STARS from me.

Simply the best representation anyone could ask for. I had a case that stood very little chance of winning. But Cheryl went beyond the extra mile to do research in my field of expertise so that she was better equipped to defend my case from multiple legal aspects. Cheryl's dedication and thoroughness is the only reason we were able to settle in my favor. Thank you for everything.

William is 1st rate attorney! He is beyond professional and knowledgeable. His experience and past successful performance was immediately evident and pleasantly welcomed. He guided, educated and assisted us throughout the process and helped us address a legal matter. We are truly thankful and highly recommend his firm.

Will handled my bankruptcy with care and professionalism. His knowledge of bankruptcy law is second to none. This was a very tough time for me and William helped make it as easy as possible.

After my ex got a restraining order against me deliberately timed to ruin my vacation with my son, I found attorney Cindy Wysocki. Immediately upon meeting Cindy, I felt comforted. She had a sympathetic and compassionate ear and truly listened to me. My ex is very deviant and takes low road tactics. Even when I wanted to take a low road tactic to beat my ex at her own game, Cindy refused. If you want a bulldog who attacks people for no reason, she’s not the lawyer for you. Cindy is honest, clear, and direct. She has a great sense of humor. Under the most hostile circumstances, she always held her ground, stayed present, and maintained her dignity. Cindy researches thoroughly, knows the law and argues convincingly. She is a commanding writer and very effective in court. She maintains great working relationships with mediators, GALs and others in the legal community and leverages those relationships to benefit her clients. Considering the quality of her work, Cindy was extraordinarily fair in billing. She took really good care of me and my future. Thanks to Cindy, my ex is no longer a threat. I worked with Cindy for three years. She consistently achieved successful outcomes inside and outside of court. Prior to that, I worked with a lawyer who made me feel like the bad guy. She belittled me, made me second guess myself, and made me feel that I had to give up more than I should have. She billed aggressively and I was never convinced she was actually on my side. I thought the legal system didn’t work. Turns out my lawyer didn’t know how to work it. Now, every day is better for me because of the work Cindy did. I’m very thankful Cindy accepted me as her client.

I highly recommend Cindy Wysocki as your family law attorney. After searching long and tirelessly for an attorney with no luck, I had a friend recommend I call family law attorney, Cindy Wysocki. Despite how busy she is, Cindy got me in for an appointment right away and took on my case. Cindy is incredibly passionate about her clients and fighting for their justice. I can’t express my gratitude enough for what she has done for me and my children. Cindy is very knowledgeable of her laws and she makes it a priority to explain in further detail if you don’t quite fully understand something. I feel Cindy represented me better than anybody else could because she gave me a voice when I had none. Cindy truly has a one of a kind, compassionate and honest heart. She is non-judge-mental and understanding. Cindy really pays attention and remembers every important detail. She gathers every document and puts it all together to beautifully represent your case. Most importantly Cindy fights hard for justice and what is right. I have my children today in a safe and loving home because of Cindy. She doesn’t give up when fighting for what is fair for the kids and what is best for the family. After months and months of Cindy representing me in an ongoing custody battle I have seen first hand how passionate she is about her job and her clients. She has never made me feel like she’s in it for the pay but rather the outcome and making a positive change for everybody involved. Cindy Wysocki has my upmost respect, she is the one family law attorney I would highly recommend to my loved ones dealing with custody and child support cases (other family law matters too) . Thank you Cindy for the positive experience and for showing me there is a light at the end of the tunnel during such a difficult time.

I hired Sean to help navigate return to army custody after being awol for over 5 years. I had re-enlisted after an honorable discharge and was in the process of being kicked out for a U.A failure when I went AWOL. This and a few other details made my case fairly complex. Sean was upfront about the possible outcomes. He came up with a game plan and got to work. He ended up getting me the BEST possible outcome I could imagine. When I say that I’m not exaggerating. I had fully expected to be back in uniform on a base somewhere at some point but, the army proceeded me out without penalty. Sean was communicative through out. He let me know what was going on and what to expect. I really can’t recommend him enough. I’m keeping his number on speed dial that’s for sure.

Cindy Wysocki is an excellent attorney! She is very professional, wise and honest. Ms. Wysocki is very attentive to accuracy and detail in every document that she writes. She always does a thorough analysis of the law and carries herself with elegance and truthfulness in court. She is a woman of great intelligence and has a high ability to understand and deal with problems. She is also a person of great integrity and good values. Ms. Wysocki has full command and mastery of her profession and it shows in every motion that she writes as well as in court. She is very compassionate, she truly cares and fights for justice in the most difficult cases. She is extremely dependable and responsive. Also, she is always well prepared and truly knows her cases. She remembers every detail and is very well organized. I have no words to express my gratitude and I feel blessed to have her as my attorney.

Government vs Jocelyn Stewart When you are going against the government, you will need someone on your side that will fight on your behalf every step of the way. I have 19 years in the military, and I found myself in trouble which is all my fault. The government wanted to take all my retirement and VA benefits away by giving me an Other Than Honorable Discharge. I did not know who to ask for help other than my military-appointed attorney. As you know already may know, military lawyers only have so much experience as a military law officer and they are very busy. Therefore, I was not going to take the chance to possibly lose all the hard work I have done to make it this far in my career. If you need someone with years and years of experience that has seen it all and is still practicing military law, HIRE MS. JOCELYN STEWARD NOW! She knows the regulations and guidelines that can help you get the best results possible. Right now, everybody has turned their back on you because you messed up, she will be there to give you the assistance you need. She also has very high integrity and when or if she takes your case, you will know she will do everything in her power to win. Lastly, she will take most of the burden away from you the moment you decide to hire her. She will relentlessly contact every possible person that may write you a character statement and do the hard work of editing to make your packet as strong as possible. Her due diligence helped me get my benefits back. Now, I can finally move forward with my life after this tough lesson I just went through.
