Specialties
Truce® Law handles the full range of family law for Pierce County families: divorce, legal separation, parenting plans, child support, alimony (spousal maintenance), property division, post-decree modifications, adoption, minor and adult guardianship, and conservatorship. Whether a case is collaborative, mediated, uncontested, or contested, the operating standard is the same: calm, strategic, and built around timelines a working family can actually plan around.
Resolution outside the courtroom is the firm's signature approach. Collaborative divorce — a structured, out-of-court process under Washington's RCW 7.77 — and mediation give both spouses a private path to a written agreement, with predictable steps instead of the calendar uncertainty that makes trials so hard on families. When litigation is the right venue, the firm handles it in its own measured style.
A first call begins with a Case Evaluation to confirm fit. From there, many clients choose a Legal Roadmap Session — a flat-fee meeting with a senior attorney that maps out next steps in writing. No retainer, no commitment to full representation, no pressure.
History
Established in 2018.
Truce® Law's Tacoma office serves families across Pierce County with the full range of family law — divorce, parenting plans, post-decree work, adoption, and contested matters. The office opened in 2020 and has worked with South Sound families ever since. What defines Truce is the way it handles a case, not the cases it takes on: calm, strategic, and built around predictable timelines rather than the calendar uncertainty that makes trials hard on working families. The Tacoma office serves Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, University Place, Lakewood, Federal Way, and the broader South Sound. When litigation is the right venue, the firm handles it in its own measured style — and when it isn't, it helps families settle privately, with more control over the outcome.
Meet the Business Owner: Justin A.
I registered Truce® Law with the state of Washington on Valentine's Day, 2018. The date wasn't an accident — I have a business degree, and details matter.
Most people who call us are going through one of the hardest seasons of their lives. My job is to make sure the firm they reach is worthy of that trust — in how we hire and train attorneys, how we staff cases, how we communicate, and how we treat everyone in the room, including the people on the other side.
I stepped out of active practice in August 2025 to build the firm full-time. I've hired attorneys better than I am at the legal work. What I spend my days on now is making sure the experience lives up to what Truce was built to be — for every client, in every county we serve.
Truce is now a team of more than thirty, working across most of Western Washington.
Outside the office: fly fishing on Washington's rivers, Commander at Café Mox with my Izzet deck, and still chasing par. A couple weeks ago I shot a 75.
