Ellen Rim Yoon

I went through the most difficult time in my life last year and had the fortune of coming across Ellen's name. I had called various lawyers to explain my particular case before I called her. None took the time to really hear me out and offer suggestions, as well as ideas as to how best to proceed,... like Ellen did. From the first phone call I knew I was working with someone who deeply cared about her clients, and who would take great care to make sure that I was being protected. I was so distraught and felt as if my world was crumbling when I first spoke to her. I had just gone through a very difficult separation and my ex partner was being violent. Ellen fought for my case of order of protection here in Seattle. After the court hearing, women who worked at the court even came to talk to me and told me that they had never seen a lawyer fight for her client so well in an order of protection hearing. Indeed, Ellen knew all of the details of my case and presented it with the utmost professionalism and strength. My life changed after that. She helped me get my peace back through the order. Ellen also helped me establish a parenting plan and resolve the house issue with my ex, all within the period of 9 months. When my ex continued to be violent, she intervened and worked with the program of domestic violence my ex was attending to insure that he did not continue to exert violent behavior towards me. Because of her, I now have my home back and most importantly, my peace. I will forever be grateful to this lawyer. There really are not words to express my appreciation for all that she did for me and my case.

I needed to update a separate property agreement with my husband after we sold and purchased a property during our marriage. I am an attorney who has not practiced family law. The first attorney consulted suggested redrafting the entire agreement which would have resulted in considerable cost. Ms.... Yoon did not insist on remaking the entire document from scratch. She was willing and able to advise me on modifications while alerting me to potential pitfalls. Based on this experience, I would hire her again and would recommend her to others.
