Loran & Ritchie

I was the opposing party in a family law case where Mr. Loran represented my ex-spouse. The case took significantly longer than expected, and communication and follow-through from his side often seemed delayed or inconsistent. Eventually, both sides reached a settlement (a CR2A agreement), which Mr. Loran himself filed with the court. That agreement required certain documents to be submitted within 45 days -- a deadline that has now passed without completion. These delays have created real-world consequences, including additional costs and the postponement of a planned property refinance. I've filed a formal grievance with the Washington State Bar Association to document my experience and to help ensure future matters receive the diligence they deserve. This review reflects only my personal experience and opinions based on public court proceedings and communications during my own case. Others should make their own judgments, but I would encourage anyone involved in a similar matter to pay close attention to timelines and communication.

Joe Loran was my attny in a major Custody battle for my son and his dad. He didn't prepare me for trial he didn't explain anything to me I was completely devastated by my son being taken from me and all he said was "well the child has been with the father for a few months now I don't think the court will change that back to you" I had/have an emotional bond with my son that will never be broken and he didn't fight for me. Malpractice!!!!! Looking back from 10years ago I got railroaded in trial only got to see my son a few times a month. All because of the shitty attny I had that won't do his job LAZY!!! and the messed up judge who ruled on this. my son has experienced major psychological damage from this. Thank god everything has changed now. Don't hire this firm

I have been a client of Joe Loran for many years. He has represented me through child support and child custody matters. His representation was a true godsend during a difficult and emotionally-charged time in my life. I highly recommend anyone needing legal representation to retain Joe. With him, I guarantee you will have the best, ethical and compassionate attorney in the Puget Sound area.

Joseph Loran was more interested in explaining to me how he became chapter president of the Northwest Hair Club for Men, than he was handling my case that involved a divorce and custody of 3 children. Terrible ethics, arrogant attitude, ridiculous costs. He'll charge you for using tissue in his office. Go elsewhere!

Ritchie helped me and my mom through quite an ordeal , when other lawyers tried to make us spend thousands , Ritchie showed us better and substantially less costly ways to do things. I highly recommend him.
