A lawyer from "The Top Drawer"

Mark was patient, thoughtful, and totally professional in resolving a satisfactory and fair end to my divorce. He has an extensive experience in this field and couples it with good common sense as well. This extended into the way he charged for his service, completely fair!!!

Very Very Competent

Mark handled my divorce perfectly. when going through a divorce it is a very tough time and Marks experience and demeanor are very important in a successful outcome to the various issues throughout the entire process. Marks command of the law and the divorce process is very impressive. Resulting i...n favoreable outcomes at the end even though early decisions were hard to understand, Mark made it ok in the end. I highly recommend Mark Schoener and have done so.

Very pleased with our dealings with Mark Schoener and Cindy Bushnell.

Mark Schoener and paralegal Cindy Bushnell were very informative and great to deal with.We are from the Vancouver area in B.C Canada.The laws are very different in Washington from ours and we found Mark and Cindy very pleasant to deal with.We would recommend them to people on both sides of the borde...r.

Down to Earth

Mark handled my divorce and post divorce issues. He is very down to earth and straightforward, realistic and honest, always telling you what you need to know, not what you want to hear. I enjoyed working with both he and his paralegal Kate, they were both calming and sensible in a most stressful si...tuation. My case was not easy and Mark made it manageable. He is very knowledgeable about family law. I would definitely recommend Mark as an attorney and have already referred him to others.

Parenting Plans

Mark Schoener helped my husband 5 years ago with a parenting plan between him and his daughter's Mother. Parenting plans are no fun because both sides do a lot of disagreeing. Mark is quick to let you know when to keep going and when to stop because the other side just won't give in. This year the... PP had to be modified, but we weren't worried because we knew Mark would work hard to do what was best for us. His paralegal, Kate, is a gem and so professional. If you are heading towards a not so nice custody battle Mark is the guy to turn to. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy he is compassionate. Mark really cares about you and the outcome which is why he does everything he can to make things as smooth as possible. I think the best part about Mark and his staff is that they really want you to understand and go to great lengths to explain in layman terms so you are comfortable with decisions being made. Thank you, Mark for everything you have done to ease the stress in all our lives and thank you for caring. Mark Schoener is the BEST!!!
