also known as Patty Arjun
I have a decade of experience handling Washington and Oregon family law cases and feel honored and lucky to have learned from the best of the best. I bring that wealth of knowledge to my practice but what truly sets me apart is my accessiblity to clients, attention to detail and approach to resolving cases in a peaceful manner. I give my clients straight answers and the support they need to reach negotiated settlements.
Each client and family are different and I recognize that for some, a negotiated resolution is not possible and in those instances, I provide competent and effective trial advocacy.
I also offer flexible payment options to clients so may be able to offer services to those who cannot afford high retainers. Please think of me when you know somone in need of the services I offer.
When I am not working, I enjoy doing Vinyasa yoga, gardening, backpacking and bike riding with my daughter trailing behind me.

From the beginning, she demonstrated extremely poor judgment in discerning which parent was manipulative and dishonest, and which parent genuinely had the children’s best interests at heart. Despite clear feedback from other mental health profession...

Patty was great to work with. She is a good communicator and works creatively to get to the best possible outcome. She pays attention to detail. She worked closely with me suggesting ideas while also listening to my suggestions.

Having gone through a nasty custody battle, I can say with surety that two things are true: 1) Had I followed Patty's advice, which was given calmly, was clear, cogent, and was salient, I would have achieved the results I wanted. 2) I have a deep respect for Patty, for the way she works, for t...

Patty helped me complete a Support Modification, with a historically combative former spouse. She understood exactly what I wanted and was able to take her negotiation skills to the table with him, saving me additional costly Court expenses. I was pleased with the experience- which is something rar...
