Family Law and Divorce

Heritage Law Offices, located in Mount Vernon, Washington, represents clients in cases relating to all aspects of family law. My firm serves clients in King, Snohomish, Whatcom, and Island Counties, as well as some outlying areas throughout Washington State, including Spokane, Seattle, Everett and Ellensburg.

Clients involved in family law disputes need both personal and professional support through times that are highly emotional, yet also require calm and reasoned decision-making. One of the most difficult aspects of family law proceedings is when clients pursue legal action without considering the full ramifications of their actions on their family's future.

You need an experienced and compassionate family law attorney to eliminate potentially costly mistakes and avoid unnecessary delay and stress. I make every effort to resolve your matter in a positive, expedient manner that always prioritizes your best interests.

My firm primarily works with family law and divorce issues, such as child support and alimony modifications, visitation, paternity actions, and child custody matters. I am committed to resolving these issues in a sensitive, confidential manner. My firm has the ability and experience to handle all of your family law needs, from the detailed management of a complex marital property distribution to the sensitive advocacy needed in an emotionally charged child custody proceeding.

I am interested in protecting the children while also providing sound and practical legal advice to protect the parents. I focus on mediation and negotiation techniques, however, if negotiations fail, I am prepared to represent you diligently in a court of law.

I have also represented clients in a full range of family law matters, including:

• Mediation
• Divorce and legal separation
• Invalidity or annulment of marriage
• Contempt and enforcement proceedings
• Equitable distribution of property
• Maintenance and spousal support
• Paternity
