I am a native of Seattle. I practice exclusively in family law in King county. I have been chosen by my peers as one of Washington’s best family law lawyers by The Best Lawyers in America, 27th Ed. I have also been designated as a Super Lawyer for 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 through a process that includes peer review and that recognizes only 5% of the attorneys in each state. I limit the number of cases that I will take at any one time. The quality of my work and achieving an efficacious outcome for my clients are my primary focus.

Mark is the BEST lawyer; he is the only one who told me honestly about expectations from my case.

Best Lawyer You Can Expect
Mark is my first lawyer who accept my divorce case and I was involved in a terrible divorce while my ex husband uses every way including the legal system as a way to abuse me and I personally am very depressed.

Excellent Representation
I came to Mark after wasting time with another attorney for the beginning of my case. Mark made me feel secure that he would fight for the things that were important to me. He never dismissed my feelings or made me feel like I was asking too much. He was balanced and gave solid advice from his obv...
"I have worked on opposing sides with Mr. Gouras. Mr. Gouras is hardworking, honest and compassionate towards the needs of his clients. I highly endorse his work."
"I endorse this lawyer. I first met Mark Gouras when we were opposing on a family law case. He conducted himself with integrity and impressed me with his knowledge and skill. We have been partners for several years and my respect for him has grown. He is dedicated to his clients' needs and keeps abreast of the constant changes in family law. He is a fine litigator and negotiator and his clients benefit from his skill."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked opposite of Mr. Gouras in numerous matters. I have also had occasion to refer clients to him when I have been unavailable or due to potential conflicts of interest. He is honest, respectful, knowledgeable and professional in every regard. He and I have always endeavored to achieve fair and equitable resolutions for our respective clients, thereby saving thousands of dollars in fees and costs and achieving a result which would fall within the range of a likely trial outcome. Those clients who I have referred to him have, to a person, reported that they were well served by Mr. Gouras and his competent staff. I would have no hesitancy whatsoever in recommending his services highly."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had several cases where Mark is the opposing attorney over the last 10 years. In each case he handled the matter professionally and represented his client's interests with passion and excellence. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to someone on a family law matter because I am confident they would be in good hands."
