Mr. St. Louis was professional and hard working.

Mr. St. Louis represented me as a father who was in a nightmare with my ex girlfriend over parenting of our daughter. The mother moved out of state without letting anyone know as parenting was being sought by me. She accused me of every form of abuse that I thought was possible including domestic ...violence, drug abuse, verbal abuse, alcoholism, animal abuse, pornography addiction and a many others. Mr. St louis went head to head on every accusation against top attorneys in the area and prevailed on every issue. EVERY issue. Mr. St. Louis has a style that is unmatched in the court room. He stands up for his clients and does so with a passion. He is professional and will not play the games that many attorneys do. I would not hesitate to use Mr. St. louis for any legal matter. I was very fortunate to have found Mr. St. louis and happily give him a top rating as an attorney

And God Sent Glen....

I think Glen St.Louis is the best, most responsible, creative and thoughtful attorney I have ever hired. He represented me in my King County parentage action where the mother had been very difficult for years and made many false allegations toward me and my wife of everything from sexual abuse, alco...hol abuse, drug abuse and anything she could think of in order to keep me away from my son. Mr. St.Louis worked very hard on my case for almost a year in a modification that finally resulted in 2013 of me being awarded custody of my son. Mr. St.Louis demonstrated through his highly organized talent of putting together and presenting evidence in court, knowledge of rules and law that every one of the mother’s accusations against me were false. Mr. St.Louis is a master as strategy in complex family law cases. He is not a quitter and worked very hard and smart for me and my child. Mr. St.Louis followed up on all his work and went beyond what I expected of an attorney. He won attorney fees awards against the mother and was very agile at dealing with the mother’s attorney in court. He was even available on some weekends to work with me because of my work schedule. Mr. St.Louis brought 5 or 6 motions in court over the year of the court case, on everything ranging from motions for adequate cause, motions for temporary orders, to contempt motions, to appointment of evaluating psychologists and trial continuances, and Mr. St. Louis won every motion in my favor that he brought. He practically embarrassed the other attorney because he was very well organized and made very good oral arguments. He also won for me attorney fees and costs on the motions. At one motion for compelling a psychological evaluation of the mother 45 days before trial, the Judge first was shaking his head “no” at the beginning of the argument , and it didn’t look good, but by the end of Mr. St.Louis’s argument , the Judge was shaking his head “yes” and we won the motion and the mother was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation. That psychological evaluation of the mother was the key to putting the final ding in the mother’s case and Mr. St.Louis was practically a genius for his timing, and his knowledge to win the motion right before trial. That motion and psychological evaluation of the mother eventually resulted in me getting custody of my son. I want to say that now that my son is with me, he is happy, thriving and has a stable home. Had it not been for Mr. St.Louis’s hard work, skill, presence in court, and knowledge, I would not have my son living with me today. I highly recommend Mr. Glen St.Louis as a selection for a family law attorney. In court he has presence and the Judges do listen to what he has to say.

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."
