I would recommend Sophia to anyone needing a divorce attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable about the law, professional, and responsive. She is a good listener who will work hard to get the best outcome for you. She is also very honest and up front about your case and doesn’t just tell you want you want to hear. Her demeanor is such that she makes a difficult and sometimes stressful process less so.

Hiring Erik as my divorce attorney was the best decision I made for my divorce. As a cardiologist, my mindset was that I must protect what is mine and fight to win. I initially hired the most expensive high end attorney and law firm in Tacoma, and it was a disaster. I successfully wasted money, probably close to $50,000 to $100,000 and got no where. My ex-wife hired a sleaze ball attorney that would do anything to drain more lawyers fees out of me to pay his fee. While my first attorney didn’t do anything unethical, but he was unable to manage my case in a manner that would be in my best interest long term. He was also impossible to reach, and I felt like my case was not a priority. When I asked to mediate, he came up with reasons not to “give up.” Finally, and most importantly, he could not provide an accurate forecast of how my divorce was going to go. My divorce was an expensive mess and the best thing that happened to me is my attorney fired me. Let’s just say I let him know how unhappy I was with the amount I was spending. So I hired Erik, solo attorney, no big law firm. I just wanted out of my divorce. Erik was not only significantly less expensive than my previous attorney, but he was more experienced and consciences about the particulars of my case. He spent a significant amount of time (which he did NOT bill) to explain why my divorce put me at risk longterm and that I needed to settle and mediate. Erik was able to provide a forecast of My divorce and it was spot on. He cleaned up my case. He got me out of contempt (another screw up from my first attorney), provided expert personal guidance, and negotiated a settlement in my favor (well relative favor) with my ex-wife’s sleaze ball attorney to get me divorced quickly. Erik isn’t flashy and doesn’t have a website with a bunch of Pizazz. He isn’t trying to please his buddies or court judges during trial. He is to the point, honest, get the job done the way it should be in the clients best interest. No BS. ”This is how it is,” “this is what we want to avoid for your case,” let’s get you divorced and on with your life.” I never want to get divorced again and I don’t wish it upon anyone, but if you are a soon to be ex-husband, go with Erik.

My personal experience here with Sophia Palmer office there so professional here they helped me with my relocation to return back home after my ex husband and I just divorced . We have a child together and my attorney Stacy S. she’s amazing she was able to have me and my children return back home yes she does work with a lot of military . And by far these women in this law office know what there doing and your money is worth it . Stacy did a fabulous job I highly recommend her to anybody!!!!!

Erik is a talented attorney; incisive, on point, and aggressive in the best way. He is the man you want in your corner. I would recommend him for any family law case for which you a need strong, ethical, and focused lawyer.

I will not recommend Eric. Eric took my case almost as if he knew that he had a good record with reviews. My reason of why I do not recommend him are the following. Money: every lawyer seems to just want the money to take your case instead of giving you a good assessment of the case. Knowledge: Eric took my money on my case, not knowing the current changes on military retirement and spousal entitlements. Plainly and simply complained to me about fighting for me. His sentiment almost seem as if he was fighting for the ex spouse. He made me do work on the timeline in which I was in the army with changes to my pay, which I did because he seemed incompetent. After I did that work, he still failed at resourcing the information necessary to fight my case. Ultimately, the apparent judgement was lame, Eric did not fight and will always come back to you stating that "it is fair to do". Not " I will fight for you". I would take my chances with anyone else who has better resources in the subject. Eric needs to brush up on the current changes to the subject of Military divorce and retirement entitlements to the spouse. He needs to brush up on the timelines and pay and how it effects the outcomes. He needs to brush up on the verbiage accepted by the DFAS. My opinion, is that fellow soldiers spend alot of time deployed and away from home to fight for the country, at the end you pay out on a spouse that under washington state courts, they have a right to have a relationship if your married and deployed. Hire a lawyer that opposes that view.

I absolutely must, have to recommend Attorney Erik to you or to any one who is dealing with the divorce. I know and understand how painful, stressful, and ugly the divorce process can be, especially when assets and children involved. I was there. Erik has a great work ethic. He cares a great deal about his clients. He has a very calm and caring demeanor and he gets directly to the point. He definitely is the person who not only will walk you through every step, but will also help to take away your stress and lead you to a better and brighter quality life after your dissolution.

Erik is a great guy to work with and knows his stuff. Very polite and friendly with success in the legal system. I recommend Mr. Erik Bjornson.

Very helpful.

Erik's thoughtful and insightful advice is always focused on what's best for the client. His logic is sound and his empathy is real. I highly recommend his legal services.
