Lisa Anne DuFour

Lisa is the best divorce attorney ever!! Lisa didn't get me divorced, she got that terrible mistake annulled!!! 18 months after the annulment I then received a check from the terrible mistake I married, repaying all my attorney fees. Lisa filed a judgement against him, the looser, and when he sold... his house he had to pay all the attorney fees plus 12 percent interest. What a great Thanksgiving present Thank you Lisa

I was fortunate that a Seattle attorney I knew referred me to Lisa DuFour for my case which involved CPS and dissolution. From the first meeting, she made it clear her focus and priority was a positive outcome for me and my child. Lisa was professional, knowledgeable, extremely patient and understand...ing. I was impressed by her thorough knowledge of the family court system and appreciate that, even as the case went on for a year and a half, her attention and focus never waned. She is astute and thorough - and impressively handled trial which, despite repeated delays, had a result more positive than I had expected.

We were fortunate enough to have Lisa represent us in dispute resolution regarding a schooling relocation matter, despite an extremely compressed schedule. My ex refused to discuss a school change civilly and we only had a couple weeks until the start of the school year. Lisa was very forthright in... advising us that we had an extremely difficult challenge ahead of us with very little chance of success if we filed with the courts. Luckily, all parties agreed to mediation and legally binding arbitration before school started and Lisa’s "Two Steps Ahead" approach resulted with the outcome we desired; approval to relocate schools before the beginning of the school year. We spoke for the first time with Lisa on a Tuesday and by Thursday the arbiter approved our request to relocate…3 days!!! This is obviously not the norm, but I have no doubt this wouldn’t have even been possible without Lisa’s tremendous abilities and talent for litigation. Leading up to the mediation and arbitration, Lisa was extremely communicative and responsive; we didn’t have time to waste and she was acutely aware of that fact, despite her workload. She helped guide us through what to expect from the event itself and helped to formulate and construct our petition’s supporting documentation for arbitration. Within mediation Lisa was level headed, sensible and advised me as to strength and legal impact of possible settlement discussions and offers. But, during arbitration, Lisa’s overwhelming ability and two steps ahead approach took over. She was articulate, concise and above all calm while interacting with my ex who was combative, argumentative and dismissive. Each and every point that was made was addressed and countered by Lisa leaving my ex's side with nothing left to argue. I couldn't be more impressed and satisfied with the counsel Lisa provided and highly recommend her.

Lisa was on top of every detail from start to finish. My lengthy Parenting Plan modification, a tedious and stressful process, was expertly navigated by Lisa. She always made me feel like I was her only client by being responsive, understanding, professional and strategic at all times. She is exce...llent at looking ahead in the process and planning accordingly. Not only did Lisa handle the entire process with ease, but the results that Lisa obtained have improved the lives of myself and my children in ways beyond words. A million thanks to Lisa! There is no one other than Lisa whom I would want by my side for divorce/parenting plan/child support/custody issues.
