Norma Linda Ureña

I met Norma after I separated from my husband after 17 years of an unhealthy relationship. I made the first appointment with her because I rather speak Spanish and wanted to feel comfortable. I was more than happy because I had found the most compassionate, dedicated and honest attorney I could wish.... The process of my divorce was long and burdensome. Norma was always ready to hear my concerns and to find a solution for them. I truly believe that Norma works for the justice. Norma made possible that my kids and me can live in peace. I will be my entire life grateful to Norma for it.

After being burned by two family law attorneys at other Seattle firms who charged us exorbitant fees, sought to prolong our case, and did nothing to move forward our case, you can imagine how weary we were when we contacted Attorney Norma Urena. Instead we met a true and skilled professional who dem...onstrated an understanding of the law, our case, and the urgency we had reached due to wasting time at other firms. Attorney Urena was highly approachable, answered our questions without using confusing legal jargon and concepts, and informed us over the implications to our case. Unlike other firms who claimed—but failed—to have a Spanish speaker, Attorney Urena is bilingually skilled and toggled in English and Spanish so my companion who spoke limited English could be clear on the legal matters at hand. In addition to her fair consulting fees, I highly recommend Attorney Urena for the professionalism and guidance she proved to us.

I was a stay-at-home mom with no resources when my separation happened. I was desperate to settle for child support and alimony so I could get back on my feet. In a nutshell, she took most of my retainer and nothing to show for! Additionally, I had to find out from my ex and his attorney that they ha...d tried to reach out to her several times to actually discuss alimony and settlement and she was not returning their calls. When confronted, she admitted that she 'got too busy'. Had to change attorneys, pay another retainer elsewhere. My new attorney said that she barely 'scratched' the surface and she still kept most of the retainer. I don't want other women to go through what I went through. Her inaction cost me money, many fights with my ex that we could have avoided if things had been settled through court. My ex and I were eager to compromise and she's the one who prolonged everything. A divorce is one of the most traumatic event in most people's lives. I didn't need my own lawyer to add more misery to my pain.
