Glen Allen St. Louis

I'm the mother of a 3 1/2 year old little boy who went through a divorce this last year. Glen St.Louis was my attorney and I was very grateful and impressed at how he and his staff guided and represented me through the process step by step from beginning to end. I was very pleased with his service...s, his knowledge of the law, and his insight into human behavior. He coached me into how not to get caught in traps set by both of my former husband's attorneys. He spent almost two hours explaining every aspect of parenting plans and child support before going into court so I could understand why it was I was requesting something and so I could make well informed choices about mine, and my son's future. He is every strategic and tactical, and while planning a strategy is very good at thinking off the cuff to re-adjust the strategy when he has too.. The first time I went to court with Mr. St.Louis for temporary orders of support, parenting plan, spousal maintenance, attorney fees and other matters, Mr. St.Louis was very talented at showing my situation and maximizing my position to the Court. He shut the other attorney down with politeness, courtesy, knowledge of the law and the facts of my case. He was firm in his arguments and did not back down or flinch by the silly and false accusations my husband's attorney was making to try to get custody. He actually made the other attorney look a little silly in her approach. Mr. St.Louis did exceptionally well and my now former husband then fired his first attorney. As the case progressed with my (ex) husband's second attorney, Mr. St.Louis was steady, adept and creative with how to handle them too - a law firm known for representing just men.. He did not allow things to get out of hand or inflamed the situation. He knows what to argue about and what to not fight about. He likes to say "never miss an opportunity to be quiet." Mr. St.Louis was very knowledgable about selecting a mediator for our case. When the case was over, Mr. St.Louis spent 90 minutes with me going over every document and how to obey and understand it so I would not have any future problem. I am very grateful for that extra effort. He also gave me discounts on his legal bill. Several months later after my case ended, when I had some questions. Mr. St.Louis sat down with me again and did not even charge me!! His tips on parenting and how to deal with my husband were extremely helpful. He obtained for me $1,000 in monthly spousal maintenance from a nearly a 9 year marriage and $57% of the pension and other property values, as well as very good child support. While I hope I never have to hire another divorce lawyer, if I have to, I will immediately try to hire Mr. St.Louis and his staff for their services. . He is intelligent, hard-working, thoughtful, courteous and confident. His staff was well organized and thoughtful. While I don't know a lot of other attorneys, I could see how other attorneys treated and spoke to him at court and the respect they had for him. I have no hesitation in recommending his services. I am a very satisfied client and mother.

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

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.

  I hired family law attorney Glen St.Louis to represent me as a petitioner in a protection order hearing early in 2013 based on a recommendation of a friend.   I was very pleased with Mr St.Louis’s representation and his command of the facts and law in my case.  I’m a single mother of two young chi...ldren from another country and had been harassed by several people who were friends of my former live-in boyfriend who is an attorney.  One of his friends kept telling me to “go back where you came from” and following me around.   I was very scared to go to court because I feared I would not be treated fairly (she was a therapist). Mr. St.Louis did an excellent job of presenting the facts and law to the Court to show I was being harassed and to make the link to my former live-in boyfriend and his friend who made the comments directed to annoy, embarass and humiliate me.  The Court found the comments by the woman to me to be “racist” and “unacceptable in Seattle” and gave me a protection order and attorney fees against this perso.  The Court complimented and agreed with Mr. St.Louis’s thoughtful analysis  to show the racism and discrimination toward me.  Mr. St.Louis gave me hope in a legal system where I’m a minority.  He was excellent in thinking on his feet to the Court’s questions and had a very good command of family law and discrimination law to show what happened to me was not to be tolerated.  He's very professional in and out of court.  His legal fee and cost was very reasonable and less expensive than other attorneys I talked with for advice.  I'd use Mr. St.Louis’s legal services again in a minute for any kind of a discrimination or family law matter.  He's an excellent attorney.

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.
