Regarding Guardianships, specifically incapacitated person's estates, I am blessed with the continued opportunity to work with both families assisting family members and professional guardians.

Since 1996, I have assisted prospective adoptive parents in adopting over 200 children into "forever families".

My practice also offers estate planning as well.

From day one when Jack sat me down and started to review my case he was upfront and never sugar coated what could happen in my case. After tremendous amount of anxiety I decided to file divorce. Jack and his team jumped right in and guided me to what needed to be done. Over the course of the 14 months my case took to settle Jack and his team were always their to answer questions, be there for emotional support and fight the good fight. They always kept me well informed and always involved me in every decision while always looking out for my girls and my best interest. The outcome of my case was the best with me receiving full custody of my beautiful daughters and no spousal support. Which is super rare in the state of Washington for a father. From Robyn to Lori to Josh I couldn't feel there is a better team I could of have. In fact to the point I feel like they are family! If you are looking for the best, well Jack Berner and his team is it! Thank you Jack, Josh, Robyn, and Lori! I am eternally grateful to you!

Kruse and her team are on your side 1000% and will fight for your rights and your sanity every step of the way.

There is no one else I would want in my corner than Attorney Kara M. Kruse and her team. It takes a team to get the best outcome for you.

Not sure how this next round will play out as I'm in a 90 day cooling or waiting period, but if I need someone I would undoubtedly reach out to Attorney Kara M.

Trevor is extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also warm and approachable. He knows when to keep things light and when to be straightforward and focused. He listened to what our needs and goals were, explained everything clearly, and then executed exactly what we wanted. He was prompt in responding to emails and thorough in answering our questions. His assistant who helped with the paperwork was also professional and warm.

Robert Miller gave me honest feedback and realistic expectations, making the decision to retain him easy. Throughout my case, everything was handled promptly, thoroughly, and professionally. I was blown away with how well Mr. Miller presented in court at each hearing. He is direct, fact-based, and articulate with an incredible knack for saying the things that need to be said without being derogatory. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Miller. I realize good facts do more for one's case than the attorney, but I firmly believe I would not come away with what I did had I not been represented by him. He handles everything with a precision that leaves the opposing counsel fumbling and stumbling. - JD P.S. I saw several reviews that pointed out how "little" he does versus how "much" is done by his paralegal. News flash: that's how it works and it's not a bad thing. I would be remiss if I did not mention the fact that his paralegal is an absolute rock star and just as much a part of my success as Mr. Miller.
