I specialize in divorce and custody cases. Please see and contact me through my website at .
As a lawyer, my job is to achieve my client’s goals. Often times, clients need help defining their goals. Listening to the client and understanding their problems, needs and interests, working through the options to find the best way to achieve their goals is typically the first step in fashioning a strategy in which to proceed with the case.
As a mediator, my job is to help the parties find a way to resolve their case without having to go to court. Mediation gives people the chance to control the outcome of their case, keep costs to a minimum, and usually provides better overall outcomes. Even "difficult" cases can be resolved by using the mediation process. I mediate cases anywhere in western Washington.
High conflict cases are my passion and I am a family law specialist, covering all areas of family law, including trial and pre-trial work, counseling and/or mediation for divorce, custody, visitation, child support, modifications, grandparent and third party visitation, property division, retirements, alimony and prenuptial agreements.
In the first part of my career I gained experience in a wide variety of matters, including real estate, estate planning, business start ups and purchases, hi-tech agreements, intellectual property, contract drafting, taxing issues, bankruptcy, felony/misdemeanor/traffic trials and appeals and teaching creepy debt collectors a lesson.

My experience with Mark’s practice is excellent. I had lots of questions and Mark was willing to take time to understand the issues. He has been and continues to be very helpful thru our circumstances. I will recommend him to anyone who needs assistance.

COMPLETE JERK! USE A DIFFERENT ATTORNEY
I contacted Mark at 8:44am on Thursday March 7th, 2019! I told him a bit of an issue that I was in with a permanent order that placed on me through the courts, and was looking for some representation to help me get this squashed. He all of a sudden says “ look I have no idea what the hell you are t...

Unhappy customer
I hired Mark Baumann to represent me in filing my divorce and getting custody of my beautiful children. SEVERAL months later I have very little to show for his work, and had to fire him and start over with a new attorney. He forgets your conversations, and have to go over and over them time & time ag...

Bad situation turned good.
Mark has strong skills in communication and conflict resolution. I came to him with a bad situation, he listened, was able to assess the situation and advise a solution. The solution was one that I would not have selected as my first choice on my own, but later I discovered, turned out to be the be...
