Columbia Family Law Center

I'm hoping I won't have to update this later lol. I was referred to this firm through my job's legal aid. Gisell, my attorney, and Alyssa, my paralegal, have been wonderful so far. Gisell represented me for a contempt hearing recently and was able to successfully argue why I shouldn't be held in contempt by the court. Having represented myself in a rather hostile coparenting situation for the last three years, I must say her professionalism, knowledge of my case, and preparedness to speak on my behalf in less than a week was so appreciated and made me eager to continue to work with her. I think it's been easy so far because I have kept evidence like texts and emails that she can submit as exhibits and I try to keep as much emotion out of my submissions as possible and stick to the facts. Her and Alyssa's edits come fairly quickly for my review and approval and they add more legal language and structure, a key piece I would miss as a self represented party. I'm feeling confident she'll be able to help me in my modification request. She really is great!

During my difficult divorce Ms. Luna was undoubtedly a very supportive team member. She navigated through difficult situations with a lot of sensitivity, and tactfully helped me understand the process. She was very detailed oriented in her work to the point that even the judge was impressed, and she made sure I understood all of my options but most importantly, she offered the upmost clarity if there were any confusion at all because, I'm not proficient in all the legal terminology. Mr. Kolke's high level of professionalism expertise and knowledge provided me with a sense of confidence and relief, knowing that he was truly committed to working in my best interest. Last but not least Ms.Lai who I met at the end of my proceedings is a very tenacious articulate eloquent and graceful attorney, who displayed a great deal of empathy towards me and my case. The legal team at Columbia was very effective in handling my divorce as it has been one of the most emotionally challenging experiences of my life. If you go through this process know that you definitely want them on your side.

I am stationed overseas with the military and dealing with a Legal Separation/Divorce, and Bruce was willing to take a meeting with me over Zoom. Other than some technical difficulties when zoom had to restart, everything was great. Bruce was very informative and not afraid to provide good or bad news. He was willing to provide the documents we will need to file for Legal Separation and/or Divorce, and he was willing to go line by line to make sure we understood everything and filled out the paperwork properly. John was in on the meeting as well, and seemed just as knowledgeable as Bruce. Beth and Alyssa were great prior to the meeting with communication and with sending over all of the documents I would need for our meeting. I highly recommend the Clement Law Center to anybody with this need in Washington state.

I met with Bruce today and was very impressed. He was professional and very informative. He spent time to help me understand the concerns I had relating to my parenting plan and summer visitation. He was clear, precise, and ensured I understood everything we covered, and was left with no question on how to proceed in the future. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with a family law concern. Fantastic attorney, and I hope to continue to utilize his expertise in the future.

I warmly recommend Bruce Clement's services. He was informative, efficient, professional, and extremely helpful. He clarified complex legal concepts into clear and understandable information. My experience was pleasant, but most importantly, it allowed to make an informed decision with confidence.
