Renee M DeFreece

Our family is so thankful to Renee for her expert legal advice and compassion during the most stressful time of our lives. Our married daughter was 8 months pregnant when her husband walked out the door, leaving her and her 7 year old son with no explanation or financial support. We hired Renee who i...mmediately went to work on a parenting plan, child support, and did her best to help support us with our court cases. After a year long case, our daughter's divorce was finalized and she was awarded primary custody of both young children. Now we are able to ensure our grandchildren are going to be raised in a stable and loving home with our family. Stacie, paralegal, was also amazing and there for us when we had so many questions! What a great team, we are so THANKFUL to have outstanding legal advice and representation.

Renee represented our us in a complex, multi-sibling family custody case. We were distraught with emotions and fear for our grandchildren’s safety and personal care. She showed a genuine interest in our case and the welfare of our family, as a whole. Renee is direct and clear when communicating with... us. She was quick to set me straight, when I was off course. She did it with a soft but steady influence. Renee has a gentle but intense approach in the way she represented us in court. I felt confident when she was addressing our pleas to the commissioner. The way she poised the law over our situation was impressive and I sensed a level of respect that I don’t often feel in court hearings. Rene’s Paralegal, Stacie, is phenomenal. She is responsive and confident. I have complete faith in the both of them. I sleep every night, at peace, knowing that my grandchildren are not only safe, but thriving.

Renee DeFreece is a strong and confident attorney. My husband and I hired Renee to help us rescue our grandson from abuse. Renee took on our third party custody case with confidence. We worked closely through the entire process so we can speak from that place of personal experience. Grand Parents d...o not have rights in the state of Washington. When we discovered abuse and neglect, with our 5 year old grandchild, we were especially horrified that we could not step in to protect his innocent humanity. We now have full legal custody of our grandson, while his parents work to restore a safe and suitable live for themselves. Renee was knowledgeable of the laws. She was tough when we needed her to be but also, gentle and understanding with our pain. She held a space for us to understand legalities and the whole landscape, not just what we wanted; out of fear that we would never see our grandchild again. Renee walked through this journey with us, she was our teacher, our emotional support and our inspiration in that she thinks deeply but speaks at a level that we can understand about the strategy and the law. We felt confident with Renee representing us in the courtroom. She is well respected in the courthouse and still was kind and humble. Her personal attention brought us comfort that she was representing us in such a worrisome matter. Stacie Beery was our paralegal. She was great about helping us navigate through the paperwork, dates and attending the right hearings. Stacie’s gentle approach and quiet confidence provided exactly the professional yet personal support we needed. We highly recommend Renee and Stacie.
