Sophia Woolery

From start to finish, working with Sophia and her legal team at Wechsler Becker was a positive experience. My partner and I were feeling vulnerable and scared after a brutal, unprovoked physical assault in my Seattle neighborhood by a person we didn’t know. In parallel with the slow-moving criminal c...harging process bouncing around between King County and Seattle prosecutors, Sophia and her team helped us file civil anti-harassment protection orders in a caring, capable, timely and very professional manner. Having these enforceable mechanisms in place to prevent contact, establish stay-away provisions, and require firearms surrender- all within 3-4 days after retaining the services of Sophia and her team gave us an immense sense of relief and safety. She was a Rock Star in court before the judge, both for the initial temporary protection orders as well as in the subsequent review hearing - representing and guiding us calmly, effectively and professionally through a very stressful time. Thanks so much Sophia and team!

Sofia came highly recommended from a friend. He said that I would be very lucky to get her. Indeed, I was! Sofia took on my case from a previous lawyer that I was unhappy with. My divorce was typical and involved quite a bit of money. There were a lot of issues unaddressed from previous lawyer. She ...took my case, explained what was going to happen and flew with it. She felt we would be able to divorce quickly with mediation. My ex was difficult to deal with and she was able to shield me from him. She is an ethical, honest, and knowledgeable attorney. She truly cared about me. Sofia was able to get the outcome I wanted, plus, we were divorced in 4-1/2 months from the day I filed. All the above includes her wonderful paralegal, Randal. Every piece of paperwork she turned around immediately. She too was kind and caring. They both realized it was a difficult time for me and were very compassionate. I can not say enough good things about them. Indeed, I was lucky to get both Sofia and Randal. It was a great experience, and I cannot thank them enough. I highly recommend Sofia and Randal.

I hired Sophia for post-decree support and a Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVPO) renewal. My former attorney had moved on from private practice and I was nervous about having new representation, but I needed it. The other party is a domestic violence perpetrator and extremely challenging to dea...l with and - I'm terrified of him. I was looking for an attorney skilled in DV, who could cut through the noise he'd/OC would make and secure ongoing protections for my child and myself. Sophia's natural intellect and in depth knowledge of the law are a force. She was responsive, concise, and educational when I asked her to be more behind the scenes for post-decree support so I could learn how to handle things for myself when expenses were unreimbursed and piling up or he violated the no contact order. She took point to litigate the DVPO renewal, made an argument for and won a five year renewal. It's a tremendous relief. I'm so glad I found Sophia. While I hope that things quiet down with the five-year renewal and I won't need as much support for now, it's reassuring to know Sophia is in my corner when I do.

Divorce - never easy. Sophia was amazing to work with. She was determined to get the best outcome for me and she did exactly that! She guided me each step of the way and developed the best strategy for my particular case. She is a fierce negotiator! She does not back down when things get hard. I ...am grateful for her knowledge of the law and for her compassion when I was struggling to get through the process. I HIGHLY recommend Sophia. She will have your back.

Sophia is an amazing attorney to work with. I could not be happier with my decision to have her represent me. Sophia is ethical, knowledgeable, honest, caring, and professional. I was served with a very unordinary and complex parenting plan and child support case from the opposing counsel. Sophia ...went above and beyond to ensure I had a fair case for my child and kept me updated throughout the entire process. She was there for me every step of the way. She explained everything in detail and made the process less intimidating. I am so grateful for Sophia’s approach and tenacity in seeing my case through. Thank you, Sophia for all your hard work and handling this complex case with your expertise and for truly going above and beyond to help me and most importantly, my child. I highly recommend Sophia as a family law attorney!
