Experienced attorney that will help you and deliver

I highly recommend the legal services of Glen St.Louis if you have a family law matter. He is skilled, thoughtful, methodical, insightful and knows exactly how to set the other side up to collapse in on itself. I am the father of two boys whose now ex-wife made numerous false allegations against me ...to limit my time with my sons when all I was trying to do was to be a good father. Part of the problem was my ex wife got herself involved with someone else and was allowing this person to be around our two boys without my knowledge. This person would not keep his nose out of the parenting situation and he injured one of my boys. My wife at the time, amazingly went to the defense of her bf rather than our children. She totally did not tell the truth to court about what happened when one of my boys were injured. For her to get out from the court’s focus and distract them, she had to accuse me of many things to make herself look right. The other person worked in law enforcement giving her credibility. So, I had to disprove almost everything made up against me. And Glen St.Louis turned my wife (at that time) and her new bf and the two attorneys upside down with smart work. I was so thankful for that type of lawyering. I was referred to Glen St.Louis through another attorney who told me that if anyone could get to the bottom of the false allegations against me, it was him. And him it was!! Glen sat with me and came up with an angle of attack that focused on the facts and not the emotion. He had a good understanding of human behavior and the law. He explained to me the plusses and minuses of my case, and then explained how he thought it best to beat the false claims against me by my wife and her bf, an capitalize on the plusses. He helped me get my kids back to a more normal fashion toward 50/50 involvement. He had a great presence in court and had a knack for understanding each particular Commissioner or Judge. He does not fight hard as much as he fights smart, but knew how to drop the hammer on my ex and her attorney when the opposing attorneys messed with him. (My wife had two attorneys and Glen knew how to checkmate their behavior without being rude. He was very much a professional. ) He spent hours reading through documents and asking me questions. When we went to court, he was totally prepared and knew the facts backward and forward. He guided me to be improve my position and not shoot myself in the foot with emotion. He helped turn around my skepticism that I had about lawyers completely around. He also did not charge me an arm and a leg, and many times would assign “n/c” for things he went out of his way to make my case better. He truly was godsend, and fights for good parenting. In court, he hit all the marks with the court sounding firm, yet polite, and displaying a high command of the law in the application of the facts and doing do without saying anything negative or nasty about my ex wife. He focused on her behavior and not her so as to make me look good. Many times when I was faced with a difficult decision, he would ask me “whether [I] wanted to be right or get the cheese?” Getting the cheese meant more times with my boys. In the end, Glen disproved false allegations against me, and showed to the court my deep involvement with my boys, and he got almost half custody with my children. He would give me homework, and I would do it. I could not have imagined a year ago I would be in such a good parenting outcome today for more involvement with my children as I now have. And it was done at a reasonable price. Hopefully I will not ever need the services of an attorney again, but if I do, I will have no hesitation in re-hiring Glen St.Louis. He is truly very talented. From a very thankful father.

Thank you Glen. You helped myself April Almelia and my daughters Makayla & Alyssa

Glen St Louis helped me many years ago with my nearly impossible family court case still sticks with me nearly 20 years later. Mr. St. Louis assisted me to regain rights to my 2 daughters. The prob was that I messed up big time. Gave unknowingly custody to their grandparents and when I got better h...e helped me. This attorney is absolutely AMAZING. Thank you Glen from the bottom of my heart. Both of my girls are grown and living AMAZING lives. One is a Environmental Scientist graduated from CWU 2 ish years ago and my youngest is living her best and very happy life in Couer d Alene. Both of my daughters came along well grounded between their grandparents and myself. We all worked together after all of that court stuff we did for 2+ years lol.

A happy mother

My divorce in King County Superior Court is finally done and I am thankful to my attorney, Glen St.Louis as he managed to get me a parenting plan that protected my daughter and got me a lot more in property settlement proceeds than I ever could have imagined. Mr. St.Louis is a very cerebral long ter...m planner, yet he was very tenacious when he had to be, and knows how to think outside of the box. I’m a mom with a daughter that is nearly a teen-ager and had no experience with the family law courts or the way the system works. Mr. St.Louis explained it every step of the way. I had all sorts of nasty and false accusations toward me, and Mr. St.Louis knew how to disarm the untruths and lies. He was very thorough and thoughtful and knows how to deal with challenges. He understands human behavior which is a big plus in dealing with family law issues. He could almost predict every one of my husbands or his lawyer’s dirty tricks and was always prepared for them. My former husband was a pain in the caboose nearly the entire case and threw three different attorneys at me, and each time they threw a curve ball at Mr. St.Louis he treated it as a form of exercise and never got thrown off his game. It didn’t matter what pitch they threw, he knew how to hit it right back at them with more zing and spin. Mr. St.Louis ”responds” rather than “reacts” to things and does not let his buttons get pushed. He’s calm and has a sense of humor which helps. It was apparent at each step in my case (including at hearings and mediation) that he was at least two steps ahead of my husband’s attorneys in knowing what had to be done to place the advantages in my favor. He did not charge me for every meeting and phone call like other attorneys do and for that I am thankful. Mr. St.Louis is talented and disciplined lawyer. If I needed an attorney ever again, he will be the one I want on my team. I enthusiastically recommend him. You will be served well. One Happy Mother

I am forever grateful to Glen!! Thank you!

I make this well earned referral for my former attorney, Glen St.Louis and his law firm in my divorce. They obtained for me 50% time with my son and daughter. The fact that I do not have to pay child support is also a plus because I do financially provide for my kids, but the BIG thing for me is tha...t I get to be a highly involved father with my children; something I was unsure of two years ago. Glen worked very hard, tirelessly and intelligently in representing me and turning around a situation for me. He gave me great advice and was always probing to come up with the best result he could get for me. He charged a reasonable rate and worked with me to be sure I’d weather the litigation storm. He knoew how to lean into the negative things and turn them positive. Glen is a planner and he and his staff were very helpful in guiding me with tips on how not to shoot myself in the foot which is easy to do in emotional situation like family law. He gave me tips on how to get along with my estranged spouse and to try to turn things positive in raising our children together. He’d politely challenge me on my thinking, and I learned a lot about myself in how I dealt with things. When I adjusted my attitude, my spouse seemed to notice and her attitude toward everything changed and it helped big time in getting a great parenting plan for our kids. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of understanding the human behavior aspect of divorce and feeling like you are losing your family, and all the fear it causes. Glen did much to give me a different perspective, and yet still stood up for me against my ex wife and her law firm with politeness, professionalism and determination. His law firm is interested in what is best for children and he does not play bulls*hit in that regard. He may be a little demanding of his clients, but it is because the law firm actually cares about children and doing the right thing to be sure that the client turns out to be the best parent they can be. I’ve never had a law firm before that goes the extra lengths. I could not be any more happy than I am right now to be a big part of my children’s lives. I highly recommend the services of attorney Glen St.Louis, and his law firm for any family law related legal matters a person may be experiencing. If I ever need help again, Glen St.Louis will be the attorney I turn to. Signed; A Very Happy Father 2022

A Very Happy Father

I’m the father of two girls and hired Glen St. Louis of The Law Office of Glen St.Louis to represent me during a difficult divorce to protect my girls and myself from a mother, and now former wife, who had a history or alcohol abuse and domestic violence toward not only me, but also hitting and beati...ng one of our girls heads into the hard floor and also twisting their arms when I was at work. She would do this when she got drunk. My former wife tried to turn the facts on their head by claiming it was me who was the alcoholic and abuser. This was very upsetting, but Mr. St. Louis told me to stay calm and we worked together in developing the case and establishing the evidence to support my case against my former wife’s lies. And he managed to that that caused my former wife to finally have to undergo abuse and alcohol treatment. I surely hope it helps her so she can get on the good side of our daughter’s again. I was very impressed with Mr. St. Louis’s professionalism, and his keen sense of knowing what the other side was up to almost every step of the way. He had my ex read to the T and ultimately could convince the court to see through her false allegations about me. I had to go into court at least 4 or 5 times and every time Mr. St. Louis prevailed for me. Over the course of the nearly my year long case, my former wife threw several different attorneys and experts at me, as if that was going to change anything, and each time, Mr. St. Louis took the appropriate steps to dial in the appropriate responses and strategy. Mr. St. Louis told me I should treat this like a football game and while having a plan, always make sure I make the adjustments to the offensive and defense plays that are thrown at you. Even after the dissolution. Mr. St. Louis would be available to answer questions and help me sort out difficulties with my former wife when she caused problems; and he would not charge me for those extra services. He was financially very reasonable and did not spend money to spend money. I always knew what I was billed for and he gave me plenty of breaks. He is very conscientious about his work and how expensive having an attorney is for people. He really cares about children having a stable environment and avoiding craziness with the other parent. He knew how to focus in on the truth and getting to the facts through depositions that showed the mother was still not getting the help she needed or the about the lies she would tell at trial. I would highly recommend Glen St. Louis for anyone who has a family law divorce or dispute involving children. Signed, “ A very Happy Father.”
