Terry Ann Zundel

Terry was a good attorney in the beginning but dropped the ball during trial prep and didn’t go through with everything she planned for trial. Maybe she knew that things weren’t going to work out. The judges and lawyers in the Seattle area are all similarly bad and do not truly care about children or... families. Her hourly rate is high but she usually doesn’t call or contact you unnecessarily like many others lawyers do. I wouldn’t recommend her for a highly contentious situation, but for “standard” cases she would be helpful.

I worked with Terry during a seemingly impossible divorce and custody case. My ex was impossible to work with, missed required court dates, threatened her and her staff frequently, refused to be cooperative or even decent and ultimately made a tough situation near impossible. Terry worked on this c...ase for 8 months, provided both legal advise and emotional support and ended up getting me full custody of daughter. She dealt with my ex- a malignant narcissist with professionalism and was able to see through his scary façade. She understands the law and fights for what is right. I would have been lost without Terry.

As a working father going up against a stay-at-home mom who wanted sole custody, a difficult attorney representing my ex, and a bad GAL report, things looked hopeless. Terry gave me options and hope when I was ready to give up, dealt with a very difficult opposing counsel, and argued a fantastic case.... At closing arguments, it was clear how emotionally and professionally invested she was in my case. After trial, I was satisfied that, win or lose, we did our best. And we won! I cannot recommend Terry highly enough, especially for professional working fathers who are fighting an uphill battle to keep involved in their kids' lives. She's the best!

I spoke to Terry regarding my legal matter, she was attentive and showed great compassion and empathy during our brief phone call. I was completely lost and confused, she helped me understand my situation more clearly. I ultimately ended up retaining her for services and she has been the best to work... with. I'm surprised to see the review giving her 1 star, that certainly was not my experience but I also know that some people have extremely excessive expectations. I would definitely recommend her to help anyone with family law matters. Terry has been in the business 25 years plus and it shows! Thanks Terry for being an awesome attorney and a great person in general!!

Had a phone consultation with Terry Zundel. I tried to provide the background of my case and asked questions that came across my situation. I sent her a list of my questions prior to the appointment and my divorce petition hoping to go over them during the consultation. But Terry was not friendly and... sounded unprofessional. She said "I don't know your case and you just need to response to the petition" and "I don't know your husband..". She didn't seem or intend to ask questions to learn about my situation. The first very question she asked during my consultation was my other pending case, and her attitude changed dramatically. As an immigrant who doesn't know any Family law, I wish to have a helpful attorney but I just didn't get that vibe from her. If you do not make a good impression and show compassion towards your client, how do you expect someone to hire you?
