My family law practice is limited to mediation. I enjoy working with clients who are committed to navigating the divorce process constructively, efficiently, and with dignity.

My experience working with attorney David Magnuson was overwhelmingly positive. He's knowledgeable, empathetic, and patient. When I first met him I thought I might need someone closer to my own age (I'll never tell), but I'm pleased to say that he quickly won me (and my ex) over with his wisdom. Y...
