Why Everett Families Choose Our Firm

When you are deciding whom to trust with your case, you want more than a name and a list of practice areas. You want to know how a firm approaches Washington family law issues and whether that approach fits your situation. We limit our work to divorce and related family matters, so our daily focus is on the same types of questions you are asking right now.

Clients come to us from Everett and across the region, including parents, professionals, homemakers, and grandparents. Many have demanding careers in fields such as engineering, healthcare, technology, finance, or education, and they need a firm that understands how complex schedules, bonuses, stock awards, and retirement plans can affect a case. Others are focused primarily on protecting time with their children or securing a safe environment after a relationship has broken down.

We offer a balanced approach that includes both mediation and litigation. Some Everett families want to resolve issues through negotiation whenever possible, to reduce stress for themselves and their children. Others are already in high conflict situations or facing urgent concerns about safety or finances. We help you evaluate which path makes sense for your goals, and we are prepared to represent you in court if a negotiated solution is not realistic.

Although our office is in Redmond Town Center, we designed our services to be accessible for people who live and work outside the immediate area. There is free parking at our location, and we offer virtual appointments so you can meet with us from your home or workplace. You can reach us by phone, text, or through our online form to set up a confidential consultation at a time that fits your schedule.

Our Washington Family Law Team

Choosing a firm also means choosing the people who will help you make decisions that affect your children, your home, and your finances. Our attorneys bring a range of backgrounds and recognitions to your case, and we work together to apply that experience to your situation.

Managing Attorney Kristofer D. Leavitt has been licensed to practice law in Washington since 2019 and in Nevada since 2013. His work in family law has been recognized repeatedly. He has been named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers for several years and has received multiple Top 10 attorney recognitions from national organizations. These honors reflect consistent dedication to client advocacy and to the practice of law.

Attorney Larry Lofgren has been licensed in Washington since 2003. He has longstanding involvement with the legal community, including serving as an attorney member of the King County Bar Association since 2008 and as an affiliate member of the Kitsap County Bar Association since 2015.

Her work has been recognized through nominations and awards, including a Lawyers of Distinction nomination and a Women in Law award from Lawyer Monthly Magazine. These recognitions highlight her commitment to serving clients facing challenging personal transitions.

Together, our attorneys draw on decades of combined experience in family law. We do not promise specific outcomes, because every case depends on its facts and on court decisions. However, we work to use our legal training, our familiarity with Washington courts, and our history of successful representation to present your situation clearly and thoughtfully.

Support For Your Family Law Case

Family law issues affect nearly every part of your life, from your relationship with your children to your financial stability. We help clients understand how Washington law applies in these areas and what options they may have.

In a Washington divorce, the court generally treats most property and debt acquired during the marriage as community property. That can include homes, retirement accounts, and many types of compensation. We help you identify the assets and obligations that are part of the marital estate, consider any separate property issues, and work toward a division that is fair under state law. When a case involves a closely held business, stock options, or high value investments, we pay particular attention to valuation and long term consequences.

For parents, questions about parenting plans usually feel more important than anything else. Washington courts focus on the best interests of the child when deciding how residential time and decision making authority will be allocated. We help you think through schedules that reflect your children’s needs, your work commitments, and the realities of daily life, and we prepare proposals that present your parenting role clearly to the court or mediator.

Child support is another central concern. Washington uses guidelines that take into account each parent’s income and other factors. We assist you in gathering accurate financial information, understanding how the guidelines operate, and evaluating whether any adjustments may be appropriate for your situation. This process can feel technical, and our role is to make the numbers as understandable as possible.

In some situations, safety is a primary issue. If you are experiencing threats, harassment, or physical harm, a civil protection order or related relief may be available. We talk with you confidentially about what has been happening, discuss your options under Washington law, and help you decide what level of court involvement fits your needs.

We assist clients with a wide range of Washington family law matters, including:

• Divorce and legal separation
• Parenting plans and modifications
• Child support and post decree adjustments
• Property division and cases involving businesses or high value assets
• Protection orders and related safety concerns

In each of these areas, we work to balance legal strategy with the everyday realities you face, so the plan for your case is grounded in both law and life.

Guidance For Everett Residents

If you live in Everett, you may be trying to understand how working with a firm based in Redmond will fit with your daily responsibilities. Many of our clients commute, travel, or manage complex family schedules, so we design our process to be as straightforward as possible.

When you first contact us, whether by phone, text, or our online form, we gather some basic information about your situation and schedule a confidential consultation. During that meeting, we talk about your goals, outline the key issues in your case, and discuss possible paths forward. You have the opportunity to ask questions and to get a sense of how we communicate and plan.

For many Everett residents, family law cases are filed in Snohomish County Superior Court. We work within Washington courts on a regular basis, and we help you understand what to expect if your case is filed there. Court appearances, deadlines, and local procedures can be confusing, and we explain how these elements usually unfold in cases like yours.

We also recognize that many steps in a family law matter do not require you to be physically present at our office. Document review, strategy discussions, and updates can often be handled through virtual meetings, phone calls, or secure electronic communication. If you prefer to meet in person, our Redmond Town Center office is reachable by car, and free parking makes visits more manageable.

As your case progresses, we keep you informed about developments and upcoming decisions. Some matters can be resolved through mediation or structured negotiation, while others require court hearings. We talk with you about the advantages and limitations of each approach in the context of your specific facts, so you are not making choices in the dark.
