About Neal
Biography
I started the practice of law in California in 1977 (where I am still licensed), moving to the State of Washington in 1980. My practice has been centered on family law for 25 years.
My office prides itself on providing quality legal work for our clients, while at the same time caring about who we represent during a very stressful and disruptive time in their lives. We strive to keep our clients involved in their proceedings and apprised of what is going on as we progress through the process.
While I am very comfortable in the courtroom, I have a keen awareness that as a practical matter the court process is often the most expensive and least efficient way to resolve any dispute. This means that we use negotation, agreement and mediation whenever possible.
We will provide you with the knowledge, experience and understanding that you need at what is often one of the most difficult times in your life.
40 years of strong, knowledgeable and compassionate client representation.

High Quality Family Law Lawyer and more!
Neal Feinerman and his team did an awesome job with my Child Support Review case in July of 2019. It first appeared like a routine proceeding until at the last minute my ex wife retained counsel for herself and things escalated quickly there after. He helped me present my case and the judge ruled in ...

I turned to Neal to represent me in a Dissolution of Marriage at a time when I needed clear cut, assertive guidance.

Neal Tully Feinerman's Lawyer Endorsements
"Neal is very knowledgeable and tough, and yet he also has the ability to put aside differences with opposing counsel and work toward a practical resolution. He's been a tremendously helpful sounding board for me over the years, especially with some of my higher-conflict cases. I enthusiastically endorse him."
"Great contributor, knows what he's talking about."
"I endorse this lawyer. Neal and I have worked opposite each other many times over the years. He is easy to reach and willing to work together to resolve issues. I always look forward to it when I know he will be my opposing counsel."
"Neal has an unsurpassed knowledge of case law, procedure and court process which makes him an outstanding litigator. He is smart, clever and effective. If you have to go to court, you'll want a lawyer who will instill confidence and tirelessly represent your interests. Neal will bring it."
"Neal is an exceptional litigator with expertise in all matters related to family law. His intellectual fervor is contagious, and his knowledge of civil procedure often holds judges, commissioners and opposing counsel(s) accountable to follow rule of law. Whether highly contested case or simple settlement agreement, Neal uses practical approaches to achieve his client's desired results. I endorse this lawyer and his sense of humor in the face of conflict."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Neal professonally for at least 25 years. We have been on opposing sides of some cases and brainstormed in others. Neal is an expert in civil procedure and substantive family law and a tireless advocate for his clients. He is a valued resource when discussing cases and a formidable adversary when an opposing counsel. Neal's word is his bond - a quality seen far too little in today's legal universe. Anyone going through the trials and tribulations of family law would be well served by Neal, and I endorse him without hesitation."
