Lionel D. Galperin

Met Lionel through Fasttrackdivorce.com. Pure chance selection from a list of attorneys practicing non-adversarial family law. Lionel is a very approachable individual with a deferential personality. The collaborative process we started did not succeed in the end, but Lionel, during the course of ...the two years it lasted, warned and coached me, first with a view to success, then, when it became apparent that collaboration was failing, he spelled out approaches to take in order to proceed with as much success as would be possible. He seems unique in that he took the initative to treat us all to snacks/lunch. He was always prepared, friendly, very knowledgeable of the law, and in no way shied away from voicing his opinion. It was with some sadness that our professional relationship ended, my having to hire a litigator, but a personal friendship has evolved, which I am enjoying to the fullest.

I was lucky to have such a professional, compassionate and experienced attorney as Lionel Galperin to represent my interests through the dissolution process. I am glad that we chose the collaborative approach where team of trained professionals followed a structured process to help us identify mutua...l goals, consider various scenarios, develop parenting plans, and make mutual decisions. As my advocate on the team, Lionel Galperin understood my position on all aspects of the case and expertly represented my interests while achieving a fair settlement. The preparation of legal case work was thorough and timely and we were kept informed at every stage. The non-adversarial team approach provided all the resources we needed to facilitate communications, financial planning, real estate decision making, child welfare consultation, and administrative matters. They also brought in experts to help with pension valuation and military law matters. If you need a collaborative law attorney, I highly recommend Lionel Galperin.

Lionel helped me create a Will, Living will and Power of attorney. He was very knowledgeable and easily approchable. Lionel was very open minded. I was able to ask questions without feeling of being judged. Linoel kept me informed re how to manage my end of live issues. Linonel is very flexable with ...his scheduling which made it easy for both of us to meet to discuss questions regarding my will. Lionel also has a very good sense of humor. I laughed a few times during our conversation which made the experience well. I would recommend him to another friend who would like to create will, living will or power of attorney. Good Job Lionel!

My husband and I were new to the Seattle area and needed to update our wills, living wills and power of attorney. Lionel was very accommodating to our work schedule by making time to meet after hours and completed the tasks at hand in an acceptable time frame. We had a couple of questions that Lionel... needed to research and we appreciated the time and effort that he gave us. We certainly call upon Lionel again and recommend him to our family and friends. Thank you again, Lionel!
