Margaret Doyle Fitzpatrick

Margaret represented me on several occasions related to a very troubling divorce. In response to the unhealthy, aggressive approach taken by the other party and their legal counsel Margaret provided well thought out, documented, and appropriate responses. Those responses, and motions brought to rei...nforce our position won the day in the Superior Court of Washington and in the Court of Appeals Division One of the State of Washington. The legal findings were the best the court system was able to achieve and maintain given the circumstances. Beyond the legal aspects I found Margaret's perspective and advise excellent. Margaret helped protect my young children, retain primary custody and the house for us to live in. Since the divorce the framework of mediation established in the parenting plan has provided the basis for conflict resolution in 12 followup mediations without having to engage the court system again. If you have a tough case needing great representation. If you need someone understanding, capable and willing to go the distance. Margaret is who I recommend to all I know.

Divorce is not fun. It racked me to my core. Margaret took the time to acknowledge that but not coddle me. There are many realities built into the law that disfavor successful men. Margaret informed me fully of the realistic outcomes of my case and skillfully manuvered it to a resolution. The w...orst part was fighting over custody issues. Margaret sense of timing was excellent and got me a far better parenting plan than what was initially offered. The bottom line truth is that for most people divorce is unwanted experience. My trust in Margaret was well placed she made it better for me because she listened to me and steered me through that morass.

Margaret is my hero, she got my daughter out of a bad living situation with her unfit mother. Now thirty years later I can only say that I owe her allot for how my daughter and my life has turned out and the joy that ones child can bring to a life. 30 years ago a single divorced male had the same c...hance of a snowflake surviving in hell as of getting custody, well that snowflake did survive and resulted in the wonderful lifetime relationship of a father and daughter. Thank You Margaret
