I commenced my practice in 1966 and have represented well over 1,000 clients inevery imaginable domestic situation. Between 1966 and 1970 I was a regular Army Captain in the United States Army as a member of the Third Armored Division. I grew up in Frankfurt, Germany and came to the United States in 1953 as a result of an adoption. I lived first in Bellevue and for the last 40 years, in Seattle. I attended both the University of Washington and the University of Virginia. I’ve also been the recipient of the German American Friendship Award, of which I believe I’m the only local attorney to receive.
I’ve been designated a SuperLawyer by Law & Politics Magazine every year since 2005.
For over 20 years I’ve belonged to the prestigious American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers ("AAML")(invitation only).
I’ve been designated a Top Lawyer by Seattle Met Magazine and have had an AV rating from Martindale Hubbell (a lawyer’s rating service) for over 30 years. (“AV” means a significant rating accomplishment; a testament to the fact that a lawyer’s peers rank him at thehighest level of professional excellence.)
I have a wide range of clients, from ordinary employees to judges, professional athletes, doctors, professors, lawyers – you name it.

Did a marvelous job on my behalf!
Wolfgang Anderson recently completed my divorce case in a most professional and efficient manner. I really appreciated his "no nonsense" approach and also his way of explaining all my options in a direct and simple way. He is a wonderful attorney and I was very thankful that he was on my side durin...

Simply the Best
I cannot recommend Wolfgang Anderson highly enough. The man knows the law like the back of his hand. My case was a challenge, to say the least, but he managed to achieve a settlement that allowed me to keep my house and feed my kids. It was more than I expected, maybe more than I deserved consider...

Unresponsive and disappointing
I liked his no nonsense attitude when I first met with him. His informal manner and kind staff were comforting and I thought I could relate to him. After experiencing less than adequate response and action on my case, I decided he did not have the ability to work hard for me. Even after 3 months of w...

A Great Lawyer
Wolf is an expert in matters of family law and his mature and practical approach is a quality that I admire the most. After talking to Wolf, I always felt reassured of the course we were taking, and he did not disappoint me. My divorce was a high-conflict, high-emotion case, and Wolf did a good job i...
"There is a reason Wolfgang Anderson is legendary. Any lawyer working as opposing counsel knows that his powers of persuasion are incredibly effective in court. As a client, you can rely on Wolf to present the best side of your case. Wolf's experience, skill, and record of results is unsurpassed."
"I endorse this Wolfgang. I've worked with and against Wolfgang for many years. I have only the higest respect for his skills and abilities. There are only a few attorneys who can match Wolfgang's power or persuasion in settlement negotations or in the courtroom."
"I endorse Wolfgang Anderson as highly competent and professional in the area of family law. Though I have opposed him in cases for several decades now, he has kindly served as a mentor to me and to many other family law attorneys in Seattle. His word is his bond which is extremely refreshing in this field. In a word, there's none of the normal "monkey business" when you are dealing with Wolfgang Anderson."
"Wolfgang is one of the most recognized pros in the NW and he deserves his big reputation. He gets right to the issues, gets the absolute best results obtainable at great value, and moves on to his many other good clients. Best paralegal support in town too (aside from my own) I would send my own brother over there."
"I have handled several domestic relation matters where Wolfgang was opposing counsel. I found him to be exceptionally well prepared and a committed advocate for his clients while he has always been willing to seek an amicable resolution which served his clients' best interests. He was equally prepared to do battle to protect those same interests. although having him as opposing counsel is no picnic, I would certainly want him on my side going into any divorce or related domestic relations matter."
"Wolf is a friend of mine and a fellow lawyer. I have known him for over fifteen years. He is a quality person and a great lawyer. He is one of the best divorce lawyers in the Seattle area. He is sensitive to the needs of his client, he knows when to settle a case and he knows when to try a case. I refer clients to Wolf on a regular basis."
"Wolf is an outstanding family law lawyer. He is a brilliant legal strategist and master in the courtroom. He gives straight, solid advice to his clients and is fearless in battle. The clients I have referred to him have all thanked me."
"Wolf Anderson is a strong and ethical advocate for his clients. Wolf is practical and gives his clients realistic advice. While a formidable opponent, Wolf is also a pleasure to work with as an opposing attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have worked with Wolf on several cases over the course of the last thirty (30) years. He is truly exemplary in his problem-solving approaches and clearly ranks among those who make fellow family-law practitioners proud of what we do. He is always a pleasure to work with and, very often, we have been able to resolve cases without having to put clients through the often onerous milieu of discovery. I have referred cases to him in conflict situations and he has done likewise, That, I think, is a mark of the respect which we have for each other."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have been opposing counsel to this attorney for over twenty years on numerous cases. He does a great job and a pleasure to work with, regardless of whether we agree or disagree on issues. My opinion is that he is one of the best attorneys in the Seattle area."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Wolfgang is a great laweyr with a formidable reputation in family law. He should be rated a 10 in anybody's book. "
