Margaret H. Brost

Margaret and her staff made sure to keep me well informed throughout my divorce process. It started with the introductory meeting with Margaret who listed to my situation and then provided the steps in a divorce proceeding in the state of WA. She stated what I should expect and how the state handle...s the process. After the initial filing from my ex, Margaret then walked what the course of action I should expect and through the next steps in the process. She made sure I was comfortable with the resolution that came from the divorce and answered any questions I might had. As the divorce laws in WA are very unfair to the fathers (from my perspective), she made sure I got what was entitled to get during this process. She made sure I understood the child support calculations (also unfair) and that I was comfortable with what came from it. Divorce was not a happy situation and no result was going to make me 100% happy, but Margaret made sure I got at least what I should have gotten and looked out after my interest throughout the process.

I came here to review my family law lawyer options. I went with Margaret because it looked like she was the best...and I was absolutely right. Margaret was truly a guide and mentor through my legal battle. She spoke plainly about my options and my chances. She listened to my concerns and often replac...ed my ideas with better ideas born from her years of helping parents do what's best for their kids. I felt truly supported by her and found peace through trusting my case was in the best hands. She often called at night or on the weekends showing me she took my case as seriously as all the other cases taking up her time. My case lasted about 9 months and I got the results I wanted without every going to court. I owe that entirely to her creativity and masterful understanding of the system. Remember that if you don't choose Margaret, you may be on the other side of the table from her. That is a scary place to be.

In my consult with Margaret I found her to be extremely informative and able to explain the process and complexities of a custody case in a clear manner. She has the ability to talk to a variety of audiences that either have no knowledge of the process or have been involved in the process. She is p...assionate, understanding but also does not mislead you.

I came to Margaret with a complex divorce situation involving child custody/visitation/support which originated in CA (my residence) and, subsequently, transferred to WA state jurisdiction (ex-wife's residence) on technicalities discovered by my ex-wife's attorney after 5 1/2 years of dealings throug...h the CA court system. I needed a "great" attorney...and I received one in Margaret Brost. Her knowledge of Washington State Family Law is superior. From the initial consultation to the final judgment, Margaret and her professional staff guided me through the process thoroughly while clearly explaining my legal options along the way. I can't thank you and your staff enough, Margaret! Bottom line...If you're looking for the BEST representation, look no further than Margaret Brost.

I originally found Margret Brost through Joint Base Lewis-McChord legal services (JAG) as a recommended civilian attorney in 2009. Margret has represented me several times since in family law issues. I will never use another attorney for family law unless she retires. Margret is extremely skillful...; each time she represented me I was able to maintain excellent protections for my child and myself in the final legal documents. She is a powerful negotiator and has an outstanding knowledge of the law. Further she has an excellent network within the family law field ranging from counselors, guardian ad litems etc. As her client, she will tell you what is needed in order to make sure you are in the right. This is a stark contrast from sleazy attorneys who will let you look like a fool in front of the Judge by telling you that you are 100% right to begin with. Margret's guidance will set you on the right track for what is the best interest of your children, you and your case. You may not like it at the time, but she is doing it in your interests and the end results will speak for themselves. Margret is an extremely busy attorney but her staff all are all appropriately helpful, providing information or getting you in touch with Margret when you need her. I am happy to recommend her for your family legal needs.
