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.

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.

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.
