"We all have a path to walk in life.  Let not the path consume you"

Scott has been practicing  for more than 20 years and has a record of helping with results .  He uses his experience to guide you down a path with the informed results you need.  

"Without understanding, just three blind mice."

Scott stays current with the law and the Court process.  He has appeared in numerous Courts throughout Washington State, in several counties, as well as in the Federal Courts and Washington Court of Appeals.  Whether you are going through a family law matter in Everett, Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond or any other city or county in the State, Scott can navigate you through the system and meet your legal needs.  He understands the cost of a family law matter and he will discuss various options to meet your objectives. 

 ​​"Scott guided me through a divorce case with exceptional knowledge and practicality. He was very good in explaining the options, capable and willing to champion my interests, but also deferential doing what I wanted rather than furthering his own ego or other goals." --Divorce Client

"Destiny is before you; your destiny is yours to take but let not another decide it for you."

The trial and motion practice is a component of our legal system that is to be respected, but leads to an uncertain result.  Scott has the experience and talent to represent you in such a matter should the need arise.

"Scott made an ugly divorce go smoothly and quickly. He was always cost conscious and honest and had my best interest at heart. He is a caring, strategic, smart and effective attorney. I have referred many people to him and will continue to do so. He is still a huge help to me and an excellent resource."  --Divorce Client

"To give is to accept--the choice is in your hands."-

Scott has negotiated thousands of matters without ever seeing a Courtroom from a simple visitation issue, temporary orders, or final resolution.  To know the outcome is always better than to have someone make the decision for you.  Surprisingly, a simple phone call may resolve the issue or set the stage for what is yet to come.  

 "Scott turned the whole process around for me. It was a good experience - he was professional, friendly, empathetic, and did a great job driving my divorce to closure. He gave great advice and was cost-sensitive."  --Divorce Client

""My way" is often not the "right way" when moving forward in life."

Scott is a strong believer people should find a way to resolve their disputes without having to go through the emotional, expensive, and uncertain Court process.  To place your family before an individual in a robe (i.e. Judge) leads to uncertain results.  Family law attorneys should strive for this ideal.

 "He always had my best interest at heart and when I was at the end of my rope and wanted to simply give up and throw in the towel he talked me down off the ledge and helped me stay strong until the very end. He is a very smart, strategic and effective lawyer. He performs with great integrity and professionalism but also has a great sense of humor and is easy to relate to."  --Divorce Client

"The journey has come to its end, with light in its sight; it is time to move forward.
