Top Shelf Attorney!!!
Lara was a pleasure to work with. In my divorce proceedings she represented me through the entire process which included a motion hearing before a judge as well as mediation. Her skill set to filter out my frustrations and overall negativity at times with the divorce process was incredible. She w...

Lara represented me in my divorce, which was by no means an easy open and shut case. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Dethlefs as counsel. She was diligent, quick to respond, detailed, and, most importantly, always a strong advocate and truly cared about my situation. Ms. Dethlefs is very kno...

Excellent Civil Attorney Represented me for close to a year in nasty divorce with wife from hell
I found Lara in the phone book in April of 2010 ,and she represented me in my divorce until May 2 2011.She was very thorough and straight to the point . I was pleased with the outcome of the case and would recommend her to anyone in a nasty divorce.
"I have known Lara for more than 12 years, and trust her judgment implicitly. As her business partner, I know she is dedicated, decisive, and works harder on her clients' cases than even they expect. And she gets results because of it."
"I endorse this lawyer. Lara cares about the integrity of this profession. She is an attorney, who advocates for her clients while also maintaining solid working relationships with her attorney colleagues that may end up representing the adverse party. She pursues her clients’ causes; yet she also sees the value in negotiating settlements in a no nonsense sort of way. She is approachable and knowledgeable. It is obvious she cares about her work and helping her clients."
"I'm familiar with Lara's excellent work and refer matters to her whenever the opportunity arises. She is skilled and compassionate."
"Ms. Dethlefs was a pleasure to work with on a recent dissolution matter. She was professional and cooperative while still being a fierce advocate for her client. Ms. Dethlefs is a lawyer I hope to have as opposing counsel again as she made the sometimes difficult job as a family law attorney enjoyable."
"As an active family law practitioner and a Judge Pro Tem, I have the opportunity to interact with most family law attorneys in Snohomish County. Some recent cases with Ms. Dethlefs have convinced me she is extremely competent, a zealous advocate for her clients but, perhpas most importantly, gives them realistic advice. She is a worthy and capable opponent."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Dethlefs and I recently concluded a dissolution matter involving children. While the possibility of high conflict existed, Ms. Dethlefs was the consummate professional throughout. She demonstrated a clear understanding of all the relevant facts, an adroit knowledge and applicaton of the law and a caring manner with her client. I would recommend Ms. Dethlefs without reservation."
"I endorse Lara Dethlefs with great confidence. Lara is smart, creative, tenacious and compassionate. I have referred a number of clients to her and she has represented them well. Lara cares about her clients and achieves great results for them. She is an excellent lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Lara is straightforward, personable and a pleasure to work with. I have recommended Lara to many potential opposing parties when the need has arisen. A great lawyer."
