About

Seattle Divorce Services is a law firm located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Our attorneys use a variety of methods to resolve divorce cases, including Mediation, Collaboration, and Litigation.

Story

We are a divorce law firm focusing on sophisticated strategies for resolving complex and difficult family law issues. When possible we like to use alternative dispute resolution methods like early mediation and collaboration (a team approach to problem solving) to avoid escalating the conflict between the parties. When litigation is needed, we believe in using our dispute resolution training to negotiate what we can, as trial should still be the last option rather than the first.

I'm an attorney, practicing in business law, estate planning and probate. When I got divorced, I thought it was important to obtain quality legal representation for two reasons. First, I do not practice family law. Second, I do not think it's wise for an attorney to represent herself. I know many family law attorneys in Seattle. I chose to work with Mike Fancher at Seattle Divorce Services. I received excellent representation, good customer service, and high quality legal advice. I highly recommend this firm.

My attorney made me feel comfortable and determined in her office while I breastfed my newborn, whom I was fighting for from August-November in 2013, but I felt she did not adequately search for information and evidence that supported my case. The attorney also skipped key elements to my argument while she spoke for me in court, but adamantly stifled me from speaking on my own behalf, to correct her, in front of the judge which the opposing council did for her which ultimately cost me. While I don't entirely blame the attorney, as I was made to feel pressured by my cases' third-party-payor to have an attorney, she was only one step above a paralegal in the way of coming into court with me and standing in on my behalf when proceedings were done.  In the end she excused herself from my case as she assumed the case was far from over but my third-party-payor was falling behind on replenishing the retainer, (which he's still paying off to this day in 2017) Ultimately I wish I had stuck with the paralegal I sought advice from in the beginning before everything went south. Had I done things my way instead of how my attorney at SEATTLE DIVORCE SERVICES and third-party-payor, the case would have been open and shut within two months. The only thing I'm grateful for is not having to retrieve my own docs, fill them out, and file them with the court myself.

Mark Alexander provided me with pro se services and then full representation, and his support, explanations, and communication made the entire process as quick and comprehensible for me as I think it could have possibly been. I'd recommend him and SDS without hesitation (and it's a cool bonus to randomly hear on the radio that your divorce firm supports KEXP...).

Janel has been working with me for more than a year. I was referred to her through my employer, and I could not have asked for a better attorney. She is very skilled in her knowledge of the laws, courteous, and very thorough in her work. She is personable and seems to really care about me and my individual situation. She goes above and beyond what I would expect from an attorney. She answers any question I have right away, whether it be through a phone call, an email, or even in person, and that is the best feeling to have when you are going through a stressful ordeal, such as a child custody case. I never feel as if she is trying to just "make a buck" off of me, but rather that she is thinking about how she can best serve me and my children.I am so confident in her abilities as an attorney, that I have referred friends and family to her. Janel is someone that I can highly recommend as an outstanding professional,reliable and compassionate attorney.

I started my divorce in October.  I thought that a firm or agency that specialized would be very effective so I presented myself at SDS and asked to be represented.  My wife had her own house but she chose to stay in mine against my will.  The SDS lawyer had one good idea and that was to create a separation agreement which had my wife sign the agreement, would have ended the ordeal.  But, my wife didn't sign and that in my opinion, was the last useful thing the lawyer did except for removing herself from the case after I had spent 9 painful months while forced to live with my wife.  Of course, during this period SDS continued to bill me every time I emailed a question to the lawyer.  Sometimes I was billed for just asking them if they had received a document from the court.  
In my opinion, the worst part of getting divorced is finding a lawyer that you trust and who defends you.  My recommendation is to not just  to assume that a specialized firm will represent you well.    Ask anybody who has any experience with divorce who from their experience that you might hire for the best results and I think you will have much better results than just assuming a specialist will represent you well.
