Straight to the point

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST HELP I COULD GET FROM JUST A CONSULTATION . HE IS 100 PERCENT HONEST AND DIRECT. HE WILL PREPARE YOU FOR COURT THE GOOD AND THE BAD AND REMEMBER ITS NOT ABOUT EMOTION ITS ABOUT FACTS. HE CARES AND HES TOUGH BECAUSE HE CARES. HE IS ONE OF THE GREATS IN LAWYERS

Super Fast

Travis is probably one of the most honest lawyers you will ever get. He was upfront and honest with me from the get-go. He told me what to expect and when to expect it. He even taught me some things that would help me out in the long run so I wasn’t wasting my money or being charged too much. He was... able to finish my case and less than two months. Honestly he’s a rockstar!

No nonsense - Hard Working

I interviewed several attorney's before retaining Mr. Travis Groves and I am thankful he represented me during my divorce.  I appreciated Mr. Groves no nonsense approach to the process.  He is fact based, lets his experience and knowledge of law guide the way and will ground you to reality when it is... easy to let emotions get the best of you.  He is always in your corner looking out for your best interest and is not looking to drain your bank account in the process. If you respect his time, he will respect yours.  He is also excellent about his response times and makes himself available to serve his clients outside of regular business hours.  This is unheard of, I would get responses in the evenings and on weekends.  I am very happy with the settlement we agreed to and I would recommend Mr. Groves to anyone looking for a no nonsense attorney who will give it to you straight and work hard to deliver the best possible outcome on your behalf. His clear and direct communication was a breath of fresh air.

Excellent Attorney!

I hired Travis to assist with a relocation, parenting plan, and child support modification. Luckily, the relocation was resolved quickly but the parenting plan/child support modification took longer to resolve. From the first meeting, Travis was honest and open about all potential outcomes. He does n...ot sugar coat which is what you need from a family law attorney. He always responded quickly and with great explanation. There were times I would get frustrated/emotional about certain issues and he was always calm and understanding. He wants the best not only for his client, but also the child/children involved. He makes it known that child’s best interest is the most important. I would highly recommend Travis to anyone looking for an attorney. You won’t be disappointed! If I come back to WA and need an attorney for a family law issue, he’ll be the first person I call.

Challenge Accepted

I would highly recommend Mr. Travis Groves to anyone looking for a hardworking lawyer who fights for his clients. When I first met with Mr. Groves, I had been involved in a 13yr divorce/custody battle with my ex-wife. I was demoralized and exhausted which is why I decided to find a new lawyer. I wa...s looking for someone who would bring a fresh perspective to my situation and thankfully I found Mr. Groves because he was exactly what I needed. He reviewed my file and worked with me to formulate a plan that he thought would be most successful for my desired outcomes. After hiring Mr. Groves, I finally felt that I had someone who had, not only my interest in mind, but my kids as well. Mr. Groves is direct and will tell you the truth; he isn't going to sugar coat anything. I would also like to add that if you have high expectation for a lawyer, well Mr. Groves also has high expectations for his clients. He expects you to do your part so that he can do his job: I had to have my depositions ready to go, if the court required me to take a class, I had to be on it, and get everything to Mr. Groves. I can honestly say when I had my ducks in a row it made his job easier which then allowed him to focus on arguing my case in court. After 18 months working with Mr. Groves, he got the case resolved to my satisfaction. He argued well resulting in my ex-wife and I going to mediation and finally settling the case. When it comes to fees or cost, Mr. Groves is upfront about the prices, he isn't trying to squeeze money out of you, and he told us the cost for each path the case could potentially go down. He is a great lawyer! We have a parenting plan I am more than happy with and Mr. Groves helped me stay focused and grounded throughout the whole process. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience working with Mr. Travis Groves and recommend him with no reservations.
