About Matthew
Biography
Divorce and Custody Lawyer in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington
Hello, my name is Matthew Yetter, and I am the founder and lead attorney at Seacoma Law, PLLC. We have offices in Tacoma and Seattle. I provide individualized attention to each client that consults with and hires me on their case. Throughout my career I have represented hundreds of clients in divorce, custody, and other family law matters. My practice has and continues to be focused in King and Pierce counties. In fact, our offices in Tacoma and Seattle are within a few blocks of the courthouse. This is important because divorce, custody and family law matters are exclusively heard in the superior court.
Your Case is Important
Family law disputes can be extremely stressful, taking an emotional and financial toll on the family. I recognize this and advocate to minimize the damage caused by these situations. Clients are encouraged to discuss their questions and concerns about their situation with me, and I provide them with candid and compassionate advice. While there may be similarities from case to case, I have found that each person I meet with is an individual with varying interests and their own story to tell. Whether your case is a high conflict or a relatively uncontested, I will take the time to listen to you, discuss your options and help you decide the best course of action. Because hiring the right attorney is so important, I am offering you a no cost 30-minute consultation to evaluate your case.
I Understand the Importance of Family
When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife, five children and our dog. I love being outdoors with my family, camping, hiking, fishing etc. I am a sports fan and enjoy going to games with my kids. My wife and I enjoy the theater and are subscribers at The 5th Avenue Theater and Broadway at the Paramount.
Education
I received my Juris Doctorate from the Willamette University College of Law where I received multiple academic awards. Prior to law school I attended Southern Utah University.
Compassionate. Knowledgeable. Honest. One-on-One Service.

Bright, collected, communicative
Matthew Yetter was hired after a prior poor experience with a different attorney. He came highly recommended and made room for us although he already had a full case load.

A great attorney a great rate!
Mr. Yetter helped me with my divorce and custody agreement. He and his team made the experience as painless and worry free as was possible. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone else who may find themselves in a similar situation.
