Rhea J. Rolfe

Rhea Rolfe and her whole office are an amazing team of hardworking women. My case went on for several years and everyone there was always responsive, reliable, and encouraging. It was humbling to meet a group of lawyers who behaved ethically and were always looking out for the best interest of the ch...ild involved in parenting plan updates, as well as keeping us both safe and escape a domestic violence situation. Rhea and her team also helped with deescalation when the other party was sending threats to me and their whole office. On several ocassions, both Rhea and Monique Gilson-Moreau waited with me in the courthouse for my case to be called and anyone knows how hard it is to sit through other hearings nervously awaiting your turn. They were both compassionate and caring and help me have hope for the future for me and my child. They also kept me informed of my options and updated on my case at all times and avoided running up my tab by declining to engage further with the other party, who at some point was sending daily non nonsensical emails to their office. I can't recommend their offices enough. If you are looking for an experienced attorney with integrity who is ready to fight for you without creating unnecessary conflict, look no further. Rhea is an outstanding attorney.

If you want THE BEST, call Rhea first. Rhea J. Rolfe is thorough, effective and proficient in the field of law. Rhea resolved my case so quickly that even officials in Washington D.C. were stunned with awe that Rhea was able to present her facts so correctly, so logically, and with such tenaci...ty as to get a decision without delay. Rhea presented herself, and my interests, so solidly, so bullet-proof, and her knowledge of 'law' so succinctly, that the judge responded with an immediate and reasoned decision, and my only response was to hug Rhea. My child was the victim of International Child Abduction. Rhea's confidence, her knowledge, and her professionalism saved my child from being starved to death - as my daughter was assessed as suffering from 'failure to thrive' and 'growth retardation' due to nutrition during her abduction. Rhea is beyond SuperHero for our family. Rhea is a beautiful standard of truth, justice and moral correctness that you can only understand upon calling her, meeting with her, or knowing her. After my daughter was abducted, there was no way I could remain married to my spouse, the abductor. Rhea flawlessly initiated and resolved my dissolution of marriage, and seamlessly helped me get my life back on track. Rhea knows RCW thoroughly, and her advice is always correct and important to remember. LISTEN TO RHEA!!! Rhea J. Rolfe. Thank you <3 Rhea has earned respect because of her many years of experience, because of her confidence in presenting truth and justice, because of her involvement in legal activism, and because she is very fair. I highly recommend Rhea to be your representative if you want positive results, transparent communication with your attorney, and kind, courteous service from her office administrators, Rebecca and Stephanie. There is no end to the thankfulness I have for Rhea, Rebecca and Stephanie in seeking justice and fairness on behalf of my family, when we needed help and assistance. Rob

Rhea is by far the most confident and knowledgeable attorney I have ever met, and I have met my fair share in many different states. Rhea knows the RCW extremely well, and she is tenacious in representing her clients based on what the law allows. Other attorneys will make whatever argument suits thei...r purpose. Rhea has no need to do this because she knows how the law applies to her clients cases, and she is good at communicating the issues of the case in light of the law to the judge/commissioner. My cases involved interstate custody, a combination of criminal cases and domestic violence issues, the JAG and a major modification. Rhea fought until she won my case even in the appeals court after two judges and a commissioner had miss-interpreted the law. Rhea knows what she is doing; she works well with people. She and her staff are responsive and caring in working with you especially when issues are difficult, complex and highly sensitive. When you are going through some of the most difficult times of your life, you need someone who knows what they are doing. Rhea has been that person for me.

I'm AD military, was in an abusive marriage and in the beginning of our dissolution when I retained Rhea. I filed a military protection order a week post partum, after my spouse refused to return our son to me. My spouse violated the order and explained it away both times, all in the course of ...a few weeks, and was never penalized. When I sought a DVPO because he didn't respect the MPO, I was told it wasn't likely to be granted by other legal personnel, and wasn't given any help, direction or advice other than that. In the process of my filing for dissolution the following month I was served with his petition. It was like being sucker-punched. Originally I was happy receiving the paperwork, thinking that was one less step I had to complete, but then it was explained to me he had a lawyer, the best on my small island, and I had no idea what to do. I didn't even understand the language in the paperwork given to me. Rhea and her team were a Godsend. They stayed open late to help me, even on weekends sometimes, did their best to save me money where they could, and won court cases the honest way, unlike trying to use tricks like my spouse's lawyer did. They were always quick to contact me or return my calls and kept me in the loop during the entire process. When we weren't in court or preparing for it, they intervened and communicated with my spouse to resolve matters about our infant son whenever I needed the help, which, to a domestic violence victim is an incredible help as it limits the reach the abuser has. I am blessed; my abusive situation only went on 2 years before I decided to leave. In that 2 years I had been mostly silent about the abuse. When I finally did open up, after my spouse took our son, I felt like no one was listening, especially not the police. I was scared, low on funds because the marriage had been financially draining, and felt like I had no options. Rhea listened. She and her team made me feel like my son and I were a priority, and genuinely cared. Even after I had to have her withdraw, she gave legal advice. I highly recommend Rhea, Stephanie, and Rebecca. I didn't realize how truly amazing they were and how good they are at what they do, because I had never had an issue requiring services like theirs. Where I was used to getting a call or an email back in 72 hours, some lawyers may not contact you for a full 8 business days. Where I was used to Rhea breaking down all the legal jargen, other lawyers may simply leave you in the dark. Where I was given help and advice by Rhea to help me navigate in and out of court, other lawyers take your money, tell you what you want to hear, and leave you high and dry. Rhea, Stephanie, and Rebecca talked to me like a person - not like a breathing bank account; they didn't minimize my situation, nor did they coddle or try to steamroll me. They were the first to treat me with dignity. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIBSON AND MOREAUX! RHEA ROLFE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!

Rhea J. Rolfe was my lawyer when I needed one to help me recover my 4 children back, after my husband in 2011 kidnapped them from Guatemala to Seattle without my knowledge or permission. The US State Department recommended her to my good fortune. We fought in court a total of 2 months and I returne...d to Guatemala with my 4 children ages 3, 10, 12 & 14. She had over 25 years of experience, she knew how to handle each appeal and she fought with knowledge and expertise. She worked with an outstanding team, was organized, professional and continuously updated me on everything. She also recommended a great appeals lawyer, a forensic psychologist, and everything needed in a court case. Even after the case ended she facilitated a mediator, considering my ex-husband´s lawyer had quit, and we resolved many unfinished issues, like dividing goods, a jewish divorce and a parenting plan. Lawyers work on a case, Rhea solved my case and returned my family to me. To this day we remain in touch and when I visit Seattle we get together. She is efficient, passionate and dedicated. She is also respected amongst her peers. Do not hesitate to take her on a case!
