The Best Decision

I originally hired a different lawyer, but my gut told me it wasn't going to be a good fit. I am so happy I trusted my instincts and looked around one more time. Hiring Chelsea as my divorce attorney was the best decision I could have made. I specifically hired her because she was experienced in fami...ly law and military issues. Her knowledge of the specific military situation was refreshing and saved me time and money because she already had most of the facts. Chelsea is warm but firm. She never sugarcoated the process or told me something just because I wanted to hear it. As another reviewer stated, she tells you what you need to hear. Carly is an excellent paralegal, together they edited and revised the draft of the parenting plan that my now ex and his lawyer sent over. There were things I told them in my own words that I wanted in there and they transformed it into legal speak effortlessly. With Chelsea's guidance, I went into mediation confidently and came out with a fair outcome for my divorce.

Best Attorney in Washington

I hired Chelsea to represent me through a contempt case and a parenting plan adjustment. I will say it was the best choice I have ever made and couldn't ask for a better attorney. She was consistently honest with me about my options and what to expect, which honestly helped me stay grounded during ev...erything. Chelsea showed real passion for my case and genuine care for my role as a parent. Her communication was clear and stayed engaged from start to finish, which made me feel like she was fighting for the best outcome. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a dedicated and trustworthy advocate.

Custody and Kept my Home

Chelsea Miller was excellent in advising during a time over several trials. Her and her team where able to help me figure out the best way on executing the problems. They helped my keep peace with my ex spouse, custody of my child, and helped me tremendously with keeping my home. Im forever grateful ...what they have done for me and my family.

Chelsea Miller is an amazing lawyer!

I have previously had poor experiences with family law lawyers that led me to be wary of them moving forward. Now, years later, I found I needed legal help for a contentious parenting plan modification. Ms. Miller was recommended to me by someone else and I approached with caution. However, she ...immediately allayed my fears with extraordinary professionalism. She is blunt in the best way possible - cutting to the immediate issue with an immense amount of family law expertise to back her up. When I arrived for my initial consultation, she came prepared by having already read through the basics of my case online. She listened intently and asked specific questions and was honest with her opinions. While she takes a measured personal approach, she is fierce in the defense of her clients once a course of action has been plotted. She doesn't resort to cheap tactics or emotional fluff because she doesn't need to; she has the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve her goals and doesn't want to waste her client's precious time or the court's time. Ms. Miller and Ms. Tremblay are responsive and I've never felt ignored by either of them. She is personable and attentive and her accountability so far seems flawless. She has appeared in court for a hearing which was resolved in my favor, worked with my ex and her lawyer to try to settle the matter out-of-court and has appeared in court for the trial (which was continued). She was impeccably prepared at all occasions and stepped me through the process whenever I needed help understanding procedures. My case is not yet completely resolved but, whichever way it goes, I already know that I made the best choice for legal representation possible.

Chelsea is an excellent attorney that goes above and beyond. She is my top rated pick, and my starting QB!

I would highly recommend Chelsea to anyone that is a caught in a tough legal position related to family law. She had helped me on many occasions establish rights with my son, build a parenting plan and to expose how good dads should be able to see there kids without restrictions. The law isnt fare a...nd without legal counsel you might as well just lay on the railroad tracks! Chelsea goes the extra mile and unlike most attorneys she take the extra time to explain and formulate a plan for your needs. She is my starting QB thank SF. Put her in your team and you wont regret it..! David s..PB
