Mr. St Louis is a great attorney.

Glen St.Louis was my attorney from March 2011 until completion of trial a year ago in mid-summer 2012. He is one of the hardest, smartest working attorneys in court that I have ever hired. I trust his legal judgment without question. Before I hired Mr. St.Louis, I had lost my 19 month old son due... to incompetence from a prior attorney, and another attorney making a misrepresentation in court. I spoke with 22 other attorneys to get my baby back before hiring Mr.St.Louis. Mr.St.Louis was the only attorney that gave me advice that was different than everyone else, and it was very creative, insightful and ultimately it allowed me to get my baby back. That was because he really studied the case and learned it from front to back The divorce process with my husband was very high conflict. I was misdiagnosed with psychological illnesses and my baby was taken from me though he was doing fine with me and had never had any psychological issues in my life. Mr. St.Louis reviewed all the professional reports and record of over 400 court filings and he brought a very good “motion to vacate” the first case, and won on 9 out of 10 reasons before the Chief Family Court Judge. He totally destroyed the parenting evaluator and psychologists reasons for taking my baby. He exposed how the corrupt recommendation happened and how the system made a big mistake. And got the facts and law wrong. The Judge agreed and I got my baby back after nearly a year separation from me. The Judge found Mr. St.Louis very well organized and in command of the facts and the law. The Judge agreed with Mr. St.Louis and wrote a 10 page opinion to withstand any appeal. Mr.St.Louis completely shut down the other experienced law firm in court. Then we had to go to trial six months later after he won the motion to vacate, and at trial he and fellow attorney, Stuart Brown, did a brilliant trial job of dismantling my husband’s, parenting evaluator and psychologist case all over again over a three week trial. Mr. St.Louis had over 535 exhibits prepared and all of them, except one, were admitted into evidence. He is very masterful with evidence rules in court and a natural at cross examination. Twice the Judge changed her rulings against my attorney on an evidence rule, after Mr. St.Louis politely educated her to the cases and the law. He knows how to catch people in their lies and destroy their credibility. Mr. St.Louis and Mr. Brown at trial were so prepared that we did not have to put on one witness because they completely destroyed and shut down my husband and his expert’s case. Eight witnesses against me and eight witnesses destroyed on the witness stand by my lawyer, repeatedly caught in lies and prejudice (I am from a foreign country) that gave me hope for justice when I had almost lost all hope. When my husband got done putting on his case, he wanted to settle and gave me permanent custody. That is how good Mr. St.Louis was at trial. He won by destroying the other sides case before it even got started. I still have my little boy, and I am in the process of suiting the psychologist and parenting evaluator for malpractice and negligence for all the economic and psychological damage it caused me and my son. I will always be grateful to both Mr. St.Louis for the preparation work and his expertise at trial. He is brilliant and a great personality in court. I highly recommend him.

Look No Farther! The BEST Legal Services are Here!

This is a recommendation in the highest regard for the legal services of attorney Mr. Glen St.Louis and his fine staff who tirelessly worked for me for almost 2 years with a very difficult ex-husband in a divorce case. Mr. St.Louis and his staff were outstanding. This is the second time I have used... the services of Mr. St.Louis as he represented me in an earlier civil case around 8 years ago which also ended very favorably for me. We just recently completed the trial in my recent divorce case in Snohomish County, and Mr. St.Louis was talented, skilled and thoughtful in building a case that got a very good parenting plan, the best one for our children; obtained a property distribution for me that allowed me to keep my house and all of my retirement, plus an additional $10,000 on top of that! Mr. St.Louis was very well prepared and organized for court and made a presentation to the Judge that she appreciated and respected. My ex decided to settle the case on the first day of trial when Mr. St.Louis displayed the trial skills to slowly dismantle my ex’s case to shreds, not giving him an inch. By the time Mr. St.Louis was done, my ex was hanging his head in disbelief and despair. Mr. St.Louis handled all aspects of my divorce in a highly competent, professional and skilled manner. In court he has great attitude and smoothness with no hesitation with his lines of attack. His low key panache and command of the law and facts display his confidence and strength. Mr. St.Louis is very good at reading people and was aggressive only when needed, as to not increase the tension in my situation. My ex's attorney withdrew from the case when she discovered that Mr. St.Louis was representing me. His fees were reasonable and he even gave me a $1,000 discount at the end of trial in order to help provide a smooth economic transition for myself. I highly recommend Mr. St.Louis and his staff with no hesitation for the highest quality legal services.

"I have known attorney Glen St.Louis for about ten years, having heard of his reputation before actually meeting him. His reputation is that of an aggressive strategically-thinking trial lawyer. Since then I have referred trusted friends and family members to him. He is as good as his reputation. That, plus he's pretty interesting."
