Family Law-very knowledgable Thank you!

Last year I hired Kirkland attorney Glen St. Louis after my husband and his attorney got me to sign divorce papers saying that I would receive a 35k judgment on "distribution of property" in a divorce if I have up a claim for spousal maintenance. My husband had agreed to take all the credit card debt... which accumulated over 17 years of marriage. after I signed the documents, I decided it was still best that I see an attorney to review what I thought was a good deal. I was shocked when Mr. St. Louis explained that it appeared my husband had tricked me into a "35K Judgment" because it was clear from all the paperwork and debt that he took, that my husband was going to declare bankruptcy when the divorce was final to get out of the credit card debt and to get out of paying the 35K judgment. Mr. St Louis also explained to me that it was practically impossible to pull my ex-husband into court for contempt of property distribution award because he explained the family law did not allow that. In other words I was about ready to lose everything I thought I was getting in the divorce, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. My ex-husband later admitted to me that this was indeed his intentions. I had to spend over 5K to Mr. St. Louis to get out of the agreement, and with hard work and ingenuity, Mr. St. Louis got everything tossed out of court and forced a settlement on my husband and his attorney in my favor to re-structure my 35K bankrupt able property award into spousal maintenance, plus attorney fees. I could not have been happier. My regret was that I did not consult with an attorney before I got myself into the problem, but I was very very happy and satisfied that Mr. St. Louis got the agreement thrown out and a whole new settlement that my ex-husband could not discharge himself out of in bankruptcy. He now has to pay me court ordered spousal maintenance until the total sum of 35K is paid in full. Mr. St. Louis is very good in court and knows how to weave the facts and tell the story of a client's case into the process of the law to the court and best represent the client very well in court. I now receive monthly installment of spousal maintenance I never would have received without Mr. St Louis help. I got the additional small bonus justice was done and my ex-husband is very angry with what Mr. St. Louis accomplished for me. I would hire Mr. St. Louis in an instant if I ever needed legal services. I highly recommend his skills and talent to anyone with family law problems.

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."
