Flatiron Legal Advisors represents Washington clients in family law, estate planning, criminal defense, personal injury, civil litigation, real estate, immigration, and debt defense. Our Washington team works out of offices in Seattle and Bremerton, handling matters across King and Kitsap counties and the surrounding region.
We meet clients in Washington by appointment. To schedule, use the location link below or contact our Washington team.
We’re built for the full range of legal challenges Washingtonians face. Each of our practice areas is led by attorneys who know Washington law, Washington courts, and how King and Kitsap counties actually run.
Washington is a community property state, which means almost everything you and your spouse acquired during the marriage starts out as belonging to both of you. The spouse claiming something is separate has to prove it. Our Washington divorce attorneys handle contested and uncontested cases, including high-net-worth divorces, business-owner divorces, and divorces involving stock options, equity compensation, and the complex assets common in the Seattle market.
Parenting plans, residential schedules, child support, modifications, and committed intimate relationships. Washington uses parenting plans rather than traditional custody orders, and the residential schedule is a real decision the court spends time on. We help you build the case that protects your relationship with your kids — through litigation when needed, through negotiation when possible.
Wills, community property agreements, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and HIPAA releases. Washington has its own estate tax with a threshold well below the federal one, which affects estate planning for more families than people expect. Our Washington estate planning attorneys help you protect what matters and pass it on the way you intend.
Washington probate is generally faster and less expensive than California’s, but it still takes months and gets contested when an estate has real assets or family conflict. We guide personal representatives through administration, handle solvent and insolvent estates, and litigate will contests and probate disputes when an estate is challenged.
DUI, drug charges, domestic violence, assault, theft, and white-collar matters. After a Washington DUI arrest, you have seven days to request a Department of Licensing hearing or your license is automatically suspended. The criminal case and the DOL case run on separate tracks. When your freedom is on the line, our Washington criminal defense lawyers mount the kind of defense that gets results.
Contract disputes, business disagreements, partnership splits, real estate litigation, construction defects, and commercial cases. We litigate Washington matters in front of Washington judges and juries, and we’ll tell you up front whether a case belongs in court or at the negotiating table.
Real estate transactions, title disputes, landlord-tenant matters, and the kind of complications Washington real estate produces — Seattle’s tenant protection ordinances, condo law disputes, easement issues, and the construction defect cases that come with a region built fast on hillsides. Our team handles both transactional work and litigation.
The personal-side practice areas where individual clients need a firm in their corner. Personal injury claims from car accidents to wrongful death (Washington follows pure comparative fault, which means you can still recover even if you were largely at fault, though the recovery is reduced). Immigration counsel for families and employers. Debt defense and collections work that protects what you’ve built.
We won’t sell you a packaged service or hand your case to an associate. We tell you what we think, what we recommend, and what it will cost — up front.
Many legal problems don’t fit neatly into one box. A divorce can touch estate planning. A business dispute can have real-estate angles. A criminal charge can affect a custody case. Our team works across practice areas so your strategy is coherent, not siloed.
Court deadlines don’t wait. Neither does the call you get from your business partner at 9 p.m. We staff our practice so clients get answers, not voicemail.
Most of our Washington practice areas start with a complimentary case review. Tell us what’s happening, and we’ll tell you — straight — what your options are, what we’d recommend, and how we’d approach it.
