Review of Glen St. Louis

We would highly recommend Mr. St. Louis. In our opinion, he is an excellent attorney and has given us good advice. He uses very sound strategy, and our position in this case has improved tremendously since he began managing it. He is knowledeable about the law, works well with others in the family l...aw field (GAL's, etc.) and has shown us to be a person of integrety.

the best I ever have!!

  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.

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.

"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."
