Divorce and Separation 80%

In more than 20 years as a family law attorney in Pierce County, Washington, I have represented hundreds of clients in divorce, legal separation, and other family law matters. I am a trained, experienced, and active Collaborative Law attorney. Even with clients choosing the family law, my practice makes every effort to reach out-of-court resolution through creative negotiations, mediation, or the like. Trials are too costly, both emotionally & financially.

Mr. Scholl got my wages returned to me!

Mr. Scholl wrote a letter in my behalf over 20 years ago that got my manager at the time to return wages she had improperly taken out of my paycheck. Before she received this letter, she got one of her male friends to represent her as her "attorney". By sheer coincidence, Mr. Scholl recognized thi...s guy (because of his unique name) as someone who also went to the same LDS Mormon church he went to. Mr. Scholl explained to me this "attorney" did go to law school but was not a licensed attorney at the time. He assured me he would talk to this guy. After that conversation, this "attorney" never bothered me again. However, this month in May 2015, I discover it's considered a misdemeanor crime to present yourself as an attorney if you are not actually licensed to practice law. I have no idea if Mr. Scholl ever reported his fellow church friend for that crime.

Amazing, friendly and reliable!!

I found Mr. Scholll from an internet search. After an initial email, I hired him as my lawyer. There was an honesty and reliablility from him right away. I had my first consultation and felt extrmemly comfortable with him and his staff. He knew exactly what I wanted out of my divorce and told me that... he would do all he could to get that outcome. Everything went smooth and extremely quick. Mr. Scholl and his staff were knowledgable and prompt with every aspect of my divorce. I am extrmemly happy with everything they helped me with and I could not have asked for a better team to work with! Thank you so much!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Scholl has been an outstanding advocate for his family law clients for many years. I have had contact with him as a co-counsel, opponent, and mediator. He recently worked his magic as a mediator in a very difficult child custody case. I honestly thought there was no hope for my client in reaching an agreeable settlement. Mr. Scholl's seasoned judgment, broad insight into the legal issues, and sensitivities to the clients and needs of the children were remarkable."
