Mackenzie Sorich is the owner of View Ridge Law, which she founded in 2014 to serve families when life‘s problems become legal problems.
She’s the bestselling author of The Divorce Navigator: Charting Your Path to Freedom in Washington State and is committed to guiding clients with compassion, helping them find clarity during life’s most challenging transitions.
Before establishing her own firm, Mackenzie focused on family law and dependency law (foster care) for many years. Through this experience, she recognized the limitations of the legal system in addressing families’ holistic needs during tough times. She sought to establish a law firm that would recognize litigants as whole people who are a part of complex family structures.
This seed was planted by her hands-on work with families during law school. Throughout her practice, Mackenzie has found deep satisfaction in guiding people through the complexities of the court system, conquering crisis, and planning a brighter future by partnering with her clients and team.
At View Ridge Law, Mackenzie is dedicated to easing the uncertainty and challenges of the legal process by offering practical solutions with a holistic outlook. Central to her practice is empowering clients to face the future with truth and optimism.
Mackenzie’s firm covers a broad spectrum of family law and estate planning services, including adoption, custody, divorce, child support, probate, wills, trusts, and more. From initial planning to complex trials, the firm excels at providing guidance and advocacy tailored to each client’s needs.
Mackenzie grew up in Omaha, Nebraska in a hard-working blended family. She attended undergraduate college at the University of Southern California, where she discovered that she loved talking about the law and wondering what makes people tick. She returned to her home state to obtain her law degree at the University of Nebraska.
The beauty and adventure of the Pacific Northwest drew her back West. Mackenzie has made Seattle her home with her own blended family. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the outdoors with loved ones, trying new food, and traveling the world.

So Glad To Have Mackenzie On My team
I found Mackenzie Sorich to be a very qualified and skilled lawyer. She listened to what was important to me and offered me options about how to proceed. She was available during the process to consult and act quickly. Ms Sorich and her team exceded my expectations.
"I worked with Mackenzie as opposing counsel in a family law matter. She was very professional, prepared, and easy to work with. I fully endorse this lawyer."
"Mackenzie Sorich is a strong advocate for her clients. She is well respected in the legal community and knows her stuff."
"I'm proud to endorse Mackenzie Sorich's work. Mackenzie is a tireless advocate for her clients and her reputation is highly respected in our county. Her knowledge and background in dependency law is invaluable to her clients and fellow attorneys in the legal community."
"Mackenzie has uncommon courage as an attorney and does not shrink from confrontation with powerful government attorneys or agents when that is what is necessary to protect her clients and advance their interests. Conversely, Mackenzie is very effective as a negotiator and collaborator and she is very personable and pleasant to work with. Mackenzie can balance these seemingly contradictory characteristics because she is principled, intelligent, and experienced. She is comfortable in the courtroom, knows the law well, and is well respected by her colleagues. Anyone looking for an attorney can trust Mackenzie's advice and judgment and know that you can rely on her to guide you to a positive result for your case."
"I endorse Mackenzie Sorich's work. Ms. Sorich works hard for her clients and is well respected in the legal community."
