Erik Jon Bjornson

THE Erik Bjornson is a straight-forward, intelligent, honest, and skilled family law attorney who balances the legal necessities along with all aspects of complicated family situations. Mr. Bjornson's expertise and understanding of law drove to a close what was a high-conflict and highly contentious ... divorce. He managed to accomplish this in the best manner possible with excellent results for my son and I. A year later he represented me in court to object to a relocation of my child with his mother. I was awarded 50/50 split custody. I trust him completely, have the utmost confidence in his abilities and recommend him for any and all cases, simple to complex. As he told me upon our introduction: you may be my 1,000th client but I've seen 10,000 cases. Thank you, Mr. Bjornson!

I retained Erik to handle my divorce case in Pierce County in 2015. I was in the Army stationed across the country and Erik was able to negotiate with my ex-wife and have a dissolution order entered which preserved 100% of my military retirement and granted me generous visitation. When my ex began de...nying visitation and alienating my kids from me, Erik fought for me! When it came to light that my ex had abused and neglected my kids, Erik fought for them and they are now in my custody. Erik supported me every step of the way with great wisdom and humor, and was mindful of my time and available funds. Erik maximized every dollar spent and was fast and efficient. Thank you Erik for what you did for me and my family!

Hiring Erik as my divorce attorney was the best decision I made for my divorce. As a cardiologist, my mindset was that I must protect what is mine and fight to win. I initially hired the most expensive high end attorney and law firm in Tacoma, and it was a disaster. I successfully wasted money..., probably close to $50,000 to $100,000 and got no where. My ex-wife hired a sleaze ball attorney that would do anything to drain more lawyers fees out of me to pay his fee. While my first attorney didn’t do anything unethical, but he was unable to manage my case in a manner that would be in my best interest long term. He was also impossible to reach, and I felt like my case was not a priority. When I asked to mediate, he came up with reasons not to “give up.” Finally, and most importantly, he could not provide an accurate forecast of how my divorce was going to go. My divorce was an expensive mess and the best thing that happened to me is my attorney fired me. Let’s just say I let him know how unhappy I was with the amount I was spending. So I hired Erik, solo attorney, no big law firm. I just wanted out of my divorce. Erik was not only significantly less expensive than my previous attorney, but he was more experienced and consciences about the particulars of my case. He spent a significant amount of time (which he did NOT bill) to explain why my divorce put me at risk longterm and that I needed to settle and mediate. Erik was able to provide a forecast of My divorce and it was spot on. He cleaned up my case. He got me out of contempt (another screw up from my first attorney), provided expert personal guidance, and negotiated a settlement in my favor (well relative favor) with my ex-wife’s sleaze ball attorney to get me divorced quickly. Erik isn’t flashy and doesn’t have a website with a bunch of Pizazz. He isn’t trying to please his buddies or court judges during trial. He is to the point, honest, get the job done the way it should be in the clients best interest. No BS. ”This is how it is,” “this is what we want to avoid for your case,” let’s get you divorced and on with your life.” I never want to get divorced again and I don’t wish it upon anyone, but if you are a soon to be ex-husband, go with Erik.

As a WA resident situated on the East Coast on military duty, I searched the internet and asked for advice from friends and associates and discovered Erik through a search. We conversed on a phone and through email, and of all the lawyers and law offices I contacted, Erik was always the first to resp...ond with a detailed answer. He took the time to address my concerns and gave recommendations on a fair split of property between myself and my ex-spouse. A divorce tends to bring the worst out in people, with both individuals feeling cheated or at a disadvantage, but Erik handled the situation very well and gave expert advice on remaining cordial to each other throughout the process. First contacted in mid-January, Erik helped us wrap up our divorce proceedings by early-May. Timelines will be different for every case, but Erik is very responsive and efficient with his work. 10/10 would contact again for any related law consultations.
