About Natalie

Compassionate attorney with superior experience that dominates the courtroom.

Natalie Roberts has spent the entirety of her legal career mastering her skills in family law.  She is well distinguished in the legal community and known for her persistent, intelligent and strategic litigation – both in the court room and in negotiations.

 

When hand-crafting her legal arguments for the court room, Natalie keeps her client’s quality of life and financial stability at the forefront.  She understands that every decision/request throughout a case can have major life impacts on her clients such as transporting your children to and from exchanges, ensuring you have enough spousal maintenance to pay your monthly bills, or protecting your assets to ensure the other party does not dispose of them.  These details are all important.  For these reasons, Natalie takes time to meet with her clients and go over every aspect of the case and her proposed strategies.  Natalie firmly believes that success in or out of the courtroom requires a strong, collaborative working relationship with her clients.

 

Experience and a good reputation also helps when negotiating with the opposing counsel/party.  She understands that not every case is meant for the courtroom and will often suggest mediation or initiating negotiations.  Mediation can be, and most often is, a place where two very disagreeable parties can reach an agreement.  Reaching an agreement usually means both parties can move on with their lives quicker and in a more positive atmosphere versus going to trial, which is extremely stressful for clients and their family/friends. 

 

While reaching an agreement is generally the preferred outcome, that does not always happen.  In that situation, Natalie is prepared.  She is not shy in the courtroom and has represented clients in all facets of family law trials.  Natalie has the attention to detail, work ethic, and knowledge to handle difficult, complex cases at trial. 

 

Prior to working at Envision Family Law, Natalie worked for several years at a high-volume law firm in Seattle.  Having worked for several years primarily in the Seattle area, Natalie established an excellent relationship with other attorneys in King County and is a familiar face to the judges and commissioners on the bench.  Natalie’s practice is not limited to King County and she has significant experience in Snohomish County and Pierce County as well.

 

Natalie graduated Cum Laude from Seattle University School of Law in 2009.  Prior to law school, Natalie attended the University of Tulsa and received a Bachelor of Arts degree, Cum Laude, in English Literature.  Natalie was a member of the Division One University of Tulsa track and cross-country teams.  Natalie still enjoys running in her spare time.  Natalie also enjoys sailing, skiing, and other outdoor activities with her family.

      Review Natalie Roberts

      Professional, Knowledgeable, and Genuinely Cares

      Posted by

      Natalie is one of the most professional people I have ever met. Natalie helped me defend against a baseless custody change case. From the first instance, it was clear to me that Natalie is a champion for what is right and fair. She was consistently quite detail-oriented with a great eye for things that truly matter. With her guidance, we focused our efforts on the most meaningful and impactful parts of the case without neglecting anything of value. She was also extremely inclusive willing to listen to every thought and concern as she helped guide the process towards our desired goals. Natalie is an extremely respectful and understanding person who genuinely cares. Her preparation and delivery at the hearing was simply perfect. Not only did she represent the facts fully, but she also perfectly conveyed the legal grounds that ultimately led to the "best case" results we had hoped for. Without a doubt, I would recommend Natalie to anyone in need of legal assistance.

      Helps You Stay Focused on What's Most Important

      Posted by

      I hired Natalie to help me protect my child from a very dangerous situation that involved my ex-wife. Due to the severity of the situation, there was no way I was going to consider trying to address the issue without an attorney. It was a multi-year ordeal with many twists and turns, and Natalie was in my corner every step of the way. She expertly helped me understand the many complex issues at hand, navigate my options, and stay focused on the most important objectives during numerous hearings and eventually a long, grueling trial. Natalie really understands the climate of the family law courtroom and nuances of the law, and as a result, she is keenly qualified to help dads navigate the Washington court system. I recommend Natalie without any reservation whatsoever.

      Custody / Relocation Expert

      Posted by

      Natalie took over our case from another lawyer in her firm who retired. It was a scary scenario for us, but Natalie jumped in like she’d been there the whole time. Our case file was over 1000 pages and very very complicated. She communicated clearly and LISTENED to our concerns to advocate for the best possible outcome. Even after our complicated custody case was finalized, it was followed by a relocation which Natalie navigated intelligently to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted move despite a very difficult ex attempting to use any excuse to delay the inevitable. Natalie really handled our case with care and we are very appreciative of her attentiveness and understanding. It was a very overwhelming case, but she jumped in head first and helped us swim to shore. I recommend Natalie to anyone who is navigating a tough divorce/custody/relocation situation.

      Natalie Roberts' response: Thank you for the very kind words! We always strive for the best possible client experience as well as the best possible outcome of the case, and it's nice to be recognized when both of those goals have been accomplished. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review!

      We highly recommend Natalie Roberts. She took our case after another attorney from another firm failed to represent us to our satisfaction. We worked with Natalie for almost two years before our custody trial. She always communicated clearly and directly, and was very knowledgeable. At trial, she was aggressive, but respectful. Her opening and closing arguments were touching and profound. She was instrumental in bringing our family back together, and for that we are grateful.

      Wonderful lawyer!

      Posted by

      Envision Family Law, Natalie Roberts, does what she says she is going to do. There was a loophole my Ex was taking advantage of & playing games with money. Natalie told me she could get this fixed. She did! She corralled his games, tightened the language & the judge ruled in our favor. She was very responsive to my high anxiety & very professional. I highly recommend her & Envision Family Law.

      Another Happy Customer

      Posted by

      Going through a divorce, where attorneys are needed just to get to a resolution, isn't an experience I would think anyone would be looking forward to. That said, if I had to do it all over again and knowing what I know now, I'd certainly choose and look forward to working with Natalie, and Donna, again. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, not because I got everything I wanted, but because, after all was said and done, my mind was at peace with the results. This was only possible thanks to the confidence, guidance, and reassurance of the team as we explored all of the options throughout the process.

      The Attorney You Want In Your Corner

      Posted by

      I am in the midst of a very contentious custody case. Due to a barrage of outlandish accusations and allegations on the opposing side, my case had become very convoluted and messy. A crucial hearing was coming up and I asked Natalie last minute to represent me. She willingly did so and implemented a strategy that provided clarity and order to my case while overcoming a hurdle that had seemed overwhelming before she came on board. Natalie is super informative, easy to talk to, and a fierce advocate. I will forever be grateful for the difference she made in my case with her stellar representation. Highly recommend!

      The Right Choice

      Posted by

      Natalie helped me to stop my ex husband when he filed for full custody. She knows the rules, her facts, and rules in the court room. She will take the time to personally get to know your situation and if she doesn’t feel you stand a chance at winning, she will straight up tell you and won’t waste your time. She’s been there when I’ve really needed her. Don’t dilly dally, hire Natalie!

      Grateful For This Team!

      Posted by

      Natalie Roberts was focused, to the point and responded to all information requests within 24 hours. If you've been down this path before and experienced poor response times from an attorney then you know just how frustrating and stressful this can be. Scheduling of phone calls for questions was easy, response times quick and I never felt rushed while discussing concerns. Expectations regarding the outcome of my Child Support Modification case were set early and that's what she delivered on every step of the process. Her knowledge of this type of case was thorough. Natalie confidently rejected outlandish wants from the other party. Her assistant Donna was professional and very helpful getting all court required financial documents in order and in the correct format in very short order due to a last minute change of attorneys to this team. This level of assistance and professionalism was unexpected and worth every penny.

      Interstate Custody

      Posted by

      The team at Envision was very helpful and took the time to understand my specific situation. I felt that they listened to me and my concerns and helped me to navigate the system to meet my goals. I felt they also provided advice on how to do things the most efficiently so I was spending money unnecessarily. I needed assistance with an interstate custody agreement but they also discovered I needed a few more items that were previously overlooked in my divorce made part of court records. Attorney Robert's and the Bellevue team were great!

      Kirstyn Palmisano, Family Attorney on Jul 22, 2019
      Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

      I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Roberts was opposing counsel on what could have been an expensive, high-conflict custody matter. Her expertise and negotiating skills allowed us to settle at mediation without further expense or hardship to our clients. I was very impressed with her skill and look forward to working with her in the future.

      Kevin Rundle, Family Attorney on Mar 23, 2018

      I endorse this lawyer.

      Jason Benjamin, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 21, 2018
      Relationship: Co-worker

      I first encountered Natalie a few years ago when she was the opposing counsel on a complicated case. I was startled at her aggressiveness and natural ability since she was a relatively new lawyer at the time. I knew immediately that she would be a shining star in our field and began trying to recruit her to my firm. We are fortunate to now have Natalie as one of our stand-out family law litigators. I would confidently trust my own loved ones in Natalie's care if they were going through a difficult divorce or child custody matter. Natalie is good at obtaining settlements outside the courtroom, because opposing counsel have either had cases against her or have witnessed her in the courtroom. We are so pleased to finally have Natalie on our team as one of the premier family law firms in the area.
