The best lawyer by far

After four years and being failed by two previous lawyers, Candace was able to make the impossible possible. There won’t be a day that goes by that we aren’t thankful for bringing our family together and making our lives complete. Much love and appreciation towards her. Military friendly, effortless ...communication, very affordable! Highly recommended for anyone looking into lawyers!

A True Godsend

I found Candace thru looking online at lawyer websites. What stood out to me the most were the reviews. Alot of the lawyers were too busy or their firm was too big to have a 1 on 1 relationship with clients. From day one Candace was nice, professional, and very systematic about getting things done. M...y husband is military and wanted to adopt my daughter. She worked very closely with my family to insure that we were together and in the know every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a smoother adoption process. She truly is a god send. She made what seemed so impossible and complicated into what is now a reality. We are truly grateful for all she has done for our family.

Easy and Painless

Candace was referred to us by our adoption agency because they had such a good experience with her. We adopted internationally, and we wanted to readopt in the US. I was going to do it myself as I had for our first adoption in California, but I was overwhelmed by the paperwork involved. Candace expla...ined to me which paperwork was needed and not needed and why, and she then just took over. The whole process was so quick and easy that I wished I had gone to her from the start and saved myself hours. She even filled out the forms to get the birth certificate and sent the court order to the adoption agency. She is so wamr and her rates are so reasonable, I feel she genuinely likes to help families.

Our adoption experience!

We were overjoyed when we found Candace! My husband wanted to adopt my children after we married to complete our family although my children have different fathers and my husband is military (we had limited time before moving). We were able to get all the information we needed and get started very qu...ickly with Candace. We went to MANY other attorneys and were told extremely high rates as well as being told our situation was "too complicated". Candace was able to explain the adoption process, answer all questions with confidence, kept us informed, and to top it off Candace beat everyone's rates for our situation. Candace also gave us a GREAT military discount on top of the great rate! If you are looking for a great experience with a knowledgeable attorney to help you through an adoption... Candace is the best person you could possibly choose especially if you are a military family!

AMAZING...Thanks Candace!

I adopted my grandson and it couldve been a real nightmare, but Candace led the way. Knowledge, guts and grit. I love this woman. She is straightforward and tells you upfront what to expect. Doesn't give platitudes (telling you what you want to hear) Is honest, fun and truly cared about my situa...tion. Can't say enough good about her.

"I've been so appreciative of the guidance, collaboration, and problem-solving and advocacy skills of Ms. Zygar on the many legal cases with which we've worked together for the past five years for people with disabilities. She has such a high sense of ethics in her legal practice, and such a good grasp of the law. I think our community is fortunate to have her in Pierce County."
