Our Legal Services
Clarity, Strategy, and Support—Start to Finish
No one expects to need a lawyer—until they do. Whether you’re facing a legal challenge or planning ahead, we’re here to help you understand your options and take action with confidence. From your first call to the final resolution, we’re in it with you.
When your family, your freedom, or your future is at stake, the attorney you choose matters. At Flatiron Legal Advisors, PLLC, we represent individuals and families across Washington State in the legal matters that matter most — divorce, custody, criminal defense, estate planning, and more.
Since 2011, thousands of clients have trusted our firm to guide them through high-stakes situations with clarity, compassion, and results. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all legal work. Every client gets a strategy built around their life, their goals, and their budget.
Washington Legal Services Built Around You
Washington law has its own complexities. Community property rules, mandatory parenting plans, some of the most progressive criminal justice reforms in the country, and no state income tax but a brand-new capital gains tax all demand attorneys who know the landscape inside and out. That’s what we bring to every case.
Divorce and Property Division
Washington is a community property state with a “just and equitable” division standard — meaning the court isn’t locked into a strict 50/50 split but starts from that presumption. Between real estate, retirement accounts, stock options, business interests, and separate property claims, the details get complicated fast.
We handle uncontested and contested divorces, high-asset cases, military divorces, and collaborative dissolutions. We also guide clients through Washington’s mandatory parenting plan requirements, spousal maintenance determinations, and the 90-day waiting period after filing.
Child Custody and Support
Nothing keeps a parent up at night like uncertainty about their children. Washington requires a detailed parenting plan in every case involving children — there is no informal custody arrangement that the court will accept.
We help parents establish and modify parenting plans, navigate relocation disputes under RCW 26.09.405, and work through Washington’s child support schedule, which uses an income shares model based on both parents’ combined net income. We also handle cases involving guardian ad litems and parenting evaluators.
Criminal Defense
A criminal charge can upend your life in an instant. Washington’s sentencing guidelines — including standard ranges, exceptional sentences, and the Sentencing Reform Act — create both serious risks and real opportunities for a skilled defense attorney.
We defend clients against DUI charges, drug offenses, assault, theft, white-collar crimes, and more. We challenge evidence, file CrR 3.6 suppression motions, pursue deferred prosecution programs under RCW 10.05, and fight for reduced charges, dismissed cases, and vacating convictions under the New Hope Act and RCW 9.94A.640.
Estate Planning
Washington has no state income tax, but it does impose a state estate tax with an exemption of approximately $2.193 million — one of the lowest thresholds in the country. That makes proactive estate tax planning critical for many Washington families, especially given the state’s high real estate values.
We prepare wills, revocable living trusts, community property agreements, powers of attorney, health care directives, special needs trusts, and HIPAA authorizations — everything your family needs to avoid probate, minimize taxes, and honor your wishes.
Family Law
Family law goes beyond divorce. We represent clients in domestic violence protection orders, parentage actions, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, guardianships, and modifications to existing parenting plans or support orders. Washington’s mandatory parenting plan framework and community property rules make experienced representation essential in every family law matter.
Civil Litigation
When business disputes, contract breaches, real estate conflicts, or insurance bad faith claims threaten your livelihood, we bring strategic, cost-effective litigation. We represent plaintiffs and defendants in Washington Superior Courts and federal courts in the Western and Eastern Districts, and we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial — because that’s what gets results, whether the case settles or not.
What Sets Flatiron Legal Advisors Apart
We Talk Straight
No jargon, no runaround. We explain your options in plain language, give you honest assessments, and make sure you understand every decision before you make it.
We Plan Around Your Budget
Legal fees shouldn’t be a mystery. We offer flat fees for many services, transparent hourly billing when appropriate, and payment plans for clients who need flexibility. You’ll always know what your case costs before we start.
We Show Up When It Counts
Courtroom experience matters. We prepare aggressively, negotiate strategically, and try cases when that’s what it takes. Opposing counsel and insurance companies know the difference between a firm that settles everything and one that’s willing to go to trial.
Serving Clients Across Washington
We represent clients statewide, from Seattle and the Puget Sound region to Tacoma, Olympia, Spokane, Vancouver, and everywhere in between. Virtual consultations make it easy to get started no matter where you are.
Take the First Step
You don’t need to have all the answers before you call — that’s our job. Whether you’re facing a legal crisis or planning ahead to protect your family, one conversation can change the trajectory of your case.
