King County · Washington State Family Court Support

When I couldn't afford an attorney,
I became one.

I was broke, I'd lost custody of my child, and I had nothing left but the will to fight. I taught myself Washington State family court from the ground up - and I made it through.

Now I help other parents do the same thing. Document preparation, trial coaching, and real guidance - from someone who has actually been through it.

  • "I have a hearing in weeks and I have no idea what I'm doing."

"I know exactly what you're feeling right now. I felt it too. And I'm going to help you through every single step."
