Paul Jay Walchenbach

I was referred to Mr. Walchenbach by an acquaintance who also happens to be a King County judge. She had presided over family law cases where Mr. Walchenbach had represented one of the litigants, and the judge was very impressed with the lengths he went to on behalf of his clients. When my husband fi...led for divorce, I had no money, my husband had a lot of money, and I needed a good attorney. The judge suggested four attorneys, three of whom were women. I thought I wanted a female attorney, so I called the three women first. Before asking me anything about my situation, the three women quoted me their retainer and hourly fees. I didn’t have any money for a retainer, and I was near despair when I finally called Mr. Walchenbach. During our initial telephone conversation, I explained my situation to him, and he listened intently. He asked many questions, the first of which was to inquire about the wellbeing of my four children. It was not until the end of the conversation that Mr. Walchenbach mentioned his fees. I was pleasantly surprised as his fees were significantly less than the three female attorneys I had spoken with. When we met in person for the first time, Mr. Walchenbach went over the fees with me again. Mr. Walchenbach was always completely transparent about his fees, but the discussion of money remained in the background through out my divorce process; with the needs of my children and me always at the forefront. I am forever grateful for Mr. Walchenbach’s patience and understanding during a time when I was very fragile. It was unnerving to have to put so much of my life in someone else’s hands, but he quickly earned my complete trust, which has been maintained for several years following my divorce. His fees are reasonable, and he has gone “above and beyond” for my family Mr. Walchenbach not only did an excellent job of advising and representing me during my divorce, he has continued to serve as my attorney in related issues following my dissolution in 2004. Everyone in my circle of support can attest to the excellent legal counsel Mr. Walchenbach has provided me, which has allowed me the opportunity to refer many friends and acquaintances to him. There have been a number of very complicated divorces Mr. Walchenbach has handled for friends of mine, and he has done so to their great satisfaction, with the same care he has provided to me and my family. My ex has gone through three attorneys unsuccessfully trying to find someone to match Mr. Walchenbach’s wits. I highly recommend Mr. Walchenbach as a family law attorney.

Paul and I have worked together for over 5 years with both my divorce and business. He has always been honest, direct and upfront. When we had to go to court I was not only prepared for the likely outcome, but we were able to come out ahead. I would highly recommend Paul and have, to friends and fami...ly in need.

I have been Paul's client for 6 months and consider myself very fortunate. Not only is he highly knowledgeable in family law but is also diligent and caring. He has successfully navigated my case through each and every rough spot so far and has a clear and concise game plan for the future as well. ... Paul dispenses thoughtful advice and and friendly encouragement on a regular basis. I couldn't be in better hands during this difficult time in my life.
