H. Michael Finesilver

My wife and I used Hank Finesilver for the adoption of my our, Mitch. My late wife passed away and my new wife of 4 years wanted to adopt Mitch to make him officially her son. Mr. Finesilver handled everything with expertise. He was completely prepared and everything went flawless in a relatively ...short amount of time. He made what we thought would be a stressful process go very smoothly. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a family law/divorce attorney.

The idea of divorce was really stressful to me before I knew Hank could help me. I was married in one state, lived in California, but moved to Washington after leaving my husband. My husband didn't want the divorce, and therefore didn't accept service for anything and refused to respond to any comm...unications from my attorney. Hank kept assuring me that I was going to get divorced, and not to worry. I was convinced that because my husband decided not to respond to anything I couldn't get divorced, and I was really worried. Hank helped me understand the system and he took care of everything. I wasn't married long, but I made more money than my husband and my husband kept threatening to take everything from me. Divorce is hard enough and having a lawyer that knows what he is doing makes it so much easier to deal with, I got my divorce and my husband didn't get anything. It wasn't because Hank was a magician, don't get me wrong, he just knew the law. It was great. His assistant Les always responded to my emails and calls. Les is a very calm person and extremely understanding. They are a good team. Hank always returned my calls, even when he was out of the office, which surprised me. Hank is very pragmatic in his approach, and never sugar coated my situation, even when it was hard to hear. He helped me be realistic about what I could get and what I couldn't get. I appreciated his honesty. For me, I needed his logical approach because it helped me know what I needed to do and what I could expect.

Hank Fields is an exceptional divorce lawyer, one I feel lucky to have met -- and wish I had MUCH early as it would have saved me a fortune in heartache and financial costs. Hank is a serious, seasoned, effective, no-nonsense attorney with an electric mind and capacity to not only handle your cas...e with total confidence, he also educates you about the often vexing process along the way. His style, case law knowledge as well as his 30 year legal experience in Washington sets you at ease immediately, as does his utter thoroughness. For example, while phone calls with other lawyers can drift on and on, Hank often sends you a letter or concise brief before a call keeping you on message, saving you money and he doesn't waste time. What he reads he absorbs, he is like a sponge. He doesn't forget important the facts of your case as well remembers critical features and arguments which is very IMPORTANT. Hank is a very fair attorney that can save a lot of heartache when needed by carefully listening to both sides, looking at the data, comparing it to the law, and knowing what it all means. Still, you always feel Hank is 150% on your side, you never get the weird run round, or soft sketchy excuses or last minute delays. He does what he says he is going to do. He never minces words, and is a natural at zeroing in on others bullshit and will not hesitate to go for the jugular without compunction, and with great skill. Add to it, Hank's excellent assistant Les Feistel keeps things moving forward, on time and with expert client communication. The staff at AFMP are equally wonderful too. If you are hesitating or stressing about your divorce because you don't know how to find a trustworthy attorney, and you hate the escalating acrimony, legal manuvering, want to save yourself untold stress, headache, and money -- call Hank first.
