Laura A Sell

Laura Sell acted as the mediator for two mediations in my divorce. In both mediations, I assumed going in it was not going to work out. For the second one, it was a foregone conclusion we were going to court. Despite that, Laura worked some sort of magic and we ended up finalizing the divorce in one ...day. Laura is ridiculously excellent at negotiation and managing very difficult, uncompromising situations. Do not waste your time, hire Laura as your mediator! If you think mediation won't work, try Laura! Sitting here today I still cannot understand how we got to an agreement.

Laura represented us in a private mediation and arbitration. she was fair, calm and compassionate, as well as whip smart, commanding and exceedingly efficient. Her grasp of family law is an asset, but her true gift is understanding people and providing guidance through an arduous, overwhelming proces...s. Hiring Laura was an excellent use of time and money; we never felt like we were getting anything less than the best. She won our case and we will be forever grateful. We both hope we never have to see her again and wish we could be her friends.

As part of the leadership team for several companies, I have worked with many great attorneys in Seattle across multiple legal disciplines. I never thought I would need a family law attorney but when I did, I found the best in Laura. She is very bright, detailed, and can be creative in working thro...ugh the unique elements of each case. She was exceptional at managing all facets of my case and when needed could be very stern with opposing counsel. She managed my expectations well and knew exactly how to support me through the process. I could not have found a better partner during a difficult time.

Laura is an incredible lawyer. We knew from the first moment we met her that she was smart, competent, and had an excellent grasp of family law. She gave us clear advice with such confidence and authority that we felt our initial consultation was the best money we could have possibly spent. We did no...t anticipate hiring her given our particular situation, but when we called her back and asked for help she did not hesitate -- AND she got a job done that literally seemed impossible to us. We settled out of court with the other party, and Laura never doubted for a minute that it could be done. She is so, so, so good at her job. She is also funny, friendly, and a very real person. Our gratitude is immense.

Laura Sell is more than just a smart and capable attorney. She is an advocate, a role model, a mentor and a friend. We started working together in 2014 when I desperately needed the help of an attorney with my relocation from Seattle to my home state of California with my two kids. The months wo...rking together on my relocation action came with many weird twist and sometime very ugly and frightening turns, but Laura was able to navigate us through the uncertainty and ultimately got us home without ever entering a court room. But Laura turned out to be more to me than just an attorney; she became a strong anchor during a time when I was just getting back on my feet after divorce and needed the support of someone who could see things from a different angle. She encouraged me to pursue my own career as a Paralegal and was an inspiration to me of a modern woman who could balance her career while also being a kind and loving mother. As I have said 100 times over – Laura is worth her weight in gold! I will always be grateful for her expertise and kindness during a very difficult time in our lives. She is a rock star attorney and I cannot recommend her enough.
