Glen got my son back.

I’m a mother who almost got screwed by an unethical attorney and my former boyfriend last year as I was mourning the loss of a child. I was living in eastern Washington and my ex-boyfriend and his mother went into court in Everett to take my other son from me while I was in the hospital taking care ...of arrangements. When I went to get help no one wanted to help me because the attorney was from a big law firm. I found Mr. St. Louis by an accident and referral and when I was in an emergency, he met with me on a weeknight for 6 hours and charged me for one hour because I was totally broke at that point. He and his staff put a lot of time into my case and talked with others, organized and got all my witnesses together and gathered information on the other side of the state to show the Judge that my son was better off with me. Glen is like the Energizer Bunny when getting something done. Mr. St.Louis got my son back for me in about two weeks and my ex got a big lecture from the Judge for and doing what he did in trying to destroy the mother-child bond. My exes attorney then quit and then my ex went and got another one. I guess he did not get the message the first time. But then when my ex then threatened me with taking the child again, Mr. St. Louis put a stop to it and my ex could not see our son except through supervised visitation. That was round II and you would think the ex would get it. But he didn’t. It took about a year to get the case done and I was very happy with the result and even got attorney fees with interest. Mr. St. Louis’s legal fees were very reasonable. So, I have high regard for Mr. St. Louis’s knowledge of the law and his skill and ability and most of all his energy and dedication to my case even though I did not have a whole lot of money. He did not give up on me. I’m a very grateful mother and very highly recommend the legal services and skill of Glen St. Louis and his firm. Happy Mother from Spokane

Glenn did awesome job.

I highly recommend the legal services of attorney Glen St.Louis and his staff. I was very pleased and impressed from start to finish in how Glen St.Louis thought through my case, implemented and executed a plan and could make changes on a dime if circumstances changed without losing a step. I hi...red Glen St.Louis based on the recommendation of a colleague who hired Glen the year before and was very very pleased. In my case, when my wife learned I was going to file for divorce, she ran off and hid my son from me going to hotel to hotel, city to city, and state to state until Glen corralled her in California and then got her shipped back to the Snohomish County Jail in Washington while getting my son returned to my care. Glen was diligent, hardworking and thoughtful and wise in helping me. Almost every time I had an idea he would listen and then suggest an alternative I never would have thought of to make my case better. He returned my calls promptly to help me find my son. He was right on it and usually responded to me within hours. It took time and several visits to the Courthouse, but Glen was professional, prepared and understood the evidence and nuances of the law that no laymen would ever understand. He understood my case inside and out and his attention to detail and his memory of the very confusing facts in court were impressive. His memory was like a trap. He’d cut through the confusion and simplify relevant facts to the court. He devised a very straightforward plan, explained it to me and how it would work and be executed. It gave me hope and confidence when I almost had none. At a time I feared I would never ever see my son again. Glen and his staff worked with law enforcement and media in 2 states and forced the mother out into the open where she got caught. His knowledge of Washington and California law was a big plus . Glen did not shy away from difficulty. He did not fill me with false hope, but explained a plan in detail that gave me confidence and it worked!! He knew it was going to be costly and was up front about it, and tried to lay out the costs and fees clearly. He worked with me on the finances and gave me breaks on his time and did not nickel and dime me for every conversation or email like other attorneys I’ve hired. I got my son back and I was awarded nearly $17,000 in attorney fees; plus my ex wife has to post a $20,000 cash bond to even be in the same room with our son again. Glen St.Louis did everything possible to be sure my now former wife will not engage in any more shenanigans. If you have a complicated family law problem, I’d highly recommend you meet with Glen St.Louis before or even after you speak with anyone else. Glen St.Louis saved my family life and my son and I am eternally grateful. Dan L, a Fortunate Father.

divorce/ family lawyer

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.

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."
