Ximena O. West

Free consultation. Divorce. Complicated. Ximena was amazing. She got me started outlining the situation while she looked up the court case details, and knew exactly when to I perfect with a question to get to the heart of the matter. She's incredibly good at multitasking and accessing /cross referen...cing information. In addition, her long standing in Snohomish County gave her direct knowledge of the Commissioner who heard a previous hearing, so I finally had confirmation of the Commissioner's background and perspective... 1st attorney I've worked with who could do this! After (a lot of free consultation effort) we finished a basic review she gave me direct and clear information, and then referred me to another firm because she didn't have postnuptial contract experience; she knew about the postnup from the beginning, but helped me to understand my situation better. Amazing! Ethical, clear, direct, and smart! Thank you, Ximena!

Ximena was referred to me by a colleague, and I'm so grateful I decided to hire her. She helped me with a challenging custody situation and was extremely knowledgeable and strong throughout the entire process. The situation was complicated and I wasn't entirely sure what the best approach was. She di...d an excellent job asking the right questions, helping me navigate the process and options with an objective eye, and ultimately helped to achieve the best possible outcome. Her approach is objective and direct (as it should be). Ximena's approach is strong, but she is extremely compassionate and truly cares about her clients. It is definitely not about how many hours she bills or if she can get the case to trial. I trusted her advice and she always had my back and my child's best interest in mind. I felt heard and validated with my concerns, as she has a wealth of experience dealing with similar challenging personalities and situations. I always felt supported and relief after consulting with her. Ximena is also a seasoned Snohomish County attorney, and is held in high regard with the court, judges, mediators, and other attorneys. She knows the system really well and knows how to best approach different individuals and steps of the process within the system. I hold Ximena in the highest regard, and will continue to leverage her services.

The one thing I take from hiring Ximena is that she actually was vested in my case. She actually cared and it wasn't about the money like most attorneys are. I am amazed at everything she did for me. Her para legal Ruth is the best also. I highly recommend Ximena. She made my ex wife's attorne...y look bad. She knew how to tell my story to the judge so I wouldn't get screwed like most men do. She told me from the beginning I probably wouldn't get custodial parent but she would make sure I got 50/50 decision making and also had my child support set at the correct rate. You want honesty and integrity you better retain Ximena! The best! I am in debted to her forever.
