He helped me navigate complex legal issues. Throughout each situation, David provided clear guidance and demonstrated a deep understanding of ...the legal system, which made a significant difference in the outcomes. David’s professionalism and integrity stand out, and he brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach to his work.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with David Mace and have been consistently impressed by his professionalism, judgment, and commitment to his clients. David brings a thoughtful and practical approach to family law, combining strong legal knowledge with the ability to listen carefully and understand the human circumstances behind each case. What distinguishes David is his ability to remain composed and solution-focused when matters become difficult. He treats clients, opposing counsel, and other professionals with respect while advocating firmly for his clients’ interests. I have also found David to be a thoughtful colleague who welcomes collaboration and approaches challenging legal issues with genuine intellectual curiosity. David is the kind of attorney I would feel comfortable referring a friend, colleague, or family member to. He is a capable advocate, a conscientious counselor, and a true professional."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Aug 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David was one of my first mentors when I started practicing family law. From the beginning, I appreciated how calm, thoughtful, and genuinely interested he was in the people he served. David is particularly well-suited for collaborative divorce matters. He combines a steady, relationship-focused style with deep technical knowledge of child support issues gained through his years as a prosecuting attorney in both Snohomish and King Counties. Other professionals in the collaborative community consistently speak highly of him, and in a process that depends on professionals working well together, that reputation matters. David's clients feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. Having worked alongside him, first as a volunteer at a legal clinic he ran when I was starting out, and now at Truce Law, I can say that's no accident."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I've had the pleasure of working alongside David, and he's a phenomenal attorney. He's sharp, deeply knowledgeable, and consistently professional — but what sets him apart is his ability to think outside the box. Time and again, I've watched him find a way through difficult cases, working constructively with opposing counsel to reach resolutions. In family law, where matters are so often emotionally charged, that skill is both rare and genuinely admirable. I always enjoy collaborating with him, and I look forward to seeing his continued growth. Anyone who has the chance to work with him will quickly understand why I recommend him so highly."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
