Simply the Best.

In early December of 2008 I found myself headed for a divorce. When interviewing other attorneys who were highly recommended to me at this fragile point in my life, I felt that they didn't seem to care about the circumstances surrounding the demise of my marriage (i.e. "It doesn't matter ~ Washington... State is a no-fault, community property state..."), and that they didn't have the fight in them. When I met with Judy I could tell that she was different. Judy cared, and she fought, and she was always several steps ahead of her opponent... And in the end I came out so much better off than I would have if I had gone with one of the others. I highly recommend Judy Ramseyer to anyone needing a family law attorney. Judy has tenacity, integrity, the intellect that it takes to win... and most of all a huge heart!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
