About Leah
Biography
I am a compassionate, tiresome advocate for my clients. I enjoy working with them to devise creative and realistic solutions to better serve their needs. One of my greatest strengths is being available for my clients to discuss not only the law and legal procedure, but candid, evolving assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of their cases. I am very much a hands on attorney who likes frequent contact with clients.

Lawyer for everyone.
Leah helped me to avoid costly litigation by negotiating a settlement agreement and staying out of court. I felt that she listened carefully to my story and recommended a realistic course of action. Leah made sure that I understood my rights and she helped me to protect them in a cost-efficient man...

Protected the "Little Guy"
Leah represented me in a contract dispute against a corporation known for taking advantage of the “little guy”. She did a great job from start to finish. Leah listened to my concerns, assessed the strengths and weaknesses of my case, and gave me unfailing, no-nonsense advice. She obtained my hoped...

An attorney with a heart
Leah was a godsend for me. i was in the middle of a divorce disaster with another lawyer that was not working out for me and my situation. She stepped in and handled my confusion, an upset judge, and the transfer of attorneys with professionalism, expertise and compassion. Leah was instrumental ...

Incredibly effective, understanding and helpful during the worst time in my life.
I am a professional woman who was getting divorced and was at my maximum stress level. Leah was able to calmly explain to me everything I needed to know and what to expect every step of the way. I had never had a lawyer nor had I been divorced and it was extremely hard for me. The way Leah confidentl...
Leah M DiOrio's Lawyer Endorsements
"Leah is an intelligent attorney, who intuitively knows the appropriate legal strategy best suited to her client’s needs. She is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and works diligently to represent her client’s interests. I highly recommend and endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Easy to work with -- fun"
"I have worked with Leah in the past and I have found her to be professional and kind. She is knowledgeable about the law and a fierce advocate for her clients. I recommend and endorse this lawyer."
"Prior to moving to Washington state, Leah practiced in Minnesota. My office partners and I had the privilege of sharing office space with Leah for several years during her stay in Red Wing, MN. During that period I not only witnessed Leah's interaction with her clients, but also heard the favorable reviews from clients and opposing counsel as well. Leah has an uncanny knack for comforting her clients and removing a great deal of the stress they are experiencing in stressful family law situations. I have heard her clients comment about the confidence Leah’s counseling gave them to obtain the best, most practical result in their particular situations. Not every divorce lawyer has that ability and it is one of the qualities that makes Leah an excellent family law attorney. There are many options for clients looking for legal counseling and/or representation. In the family law area, it is hard to imagine how a client could make a better choice than Leah."
"I endorse this lawyer.Leah DiOrio is well-versed in family practice, procedure and policy. She has a great understanding of the issues and complexities that specifically affect family law cases. Leah consistently applies this knowledge to each and every case, and does so with genuine compassion. I have been impressed with her ability to work hard for her clients and get results. Leah DiOrio gets the job done, the right way."
"I endorse this lawyer. Leah provides top notch representation to all of her clients. With over ten years of hands on experience as an attorney, she provides her clients with superior representation on all aspects of family law. She has experience as a family law mediator and a Parenting Coordinator. She supports the community as a Volunteer Guardian ad Litem and also volutnteers her extra time as an Attorney for the Snohomish County Family Law Clinic. She has served on the Board of Directors for the Sexual Assault Resource Agency and has been the President of the First District Bar Association. Leah is a very compassionate, kind and caring attorney who seeks common sense solutions for her client's legal problems. If possible, she tries to settle disputes out of court to reduce stress and aggravation as well as keep legal fees as low as possible. However, when a court battle becomes necessary, Leah is a very strong advocate and a tough opponent for any attorney to challenge."
