About Faye
Biography
Faye BreitReed is a trusted Vancouver, Washington family law attorney representing clients throughout Clark County in divorce, child custody, child support, parenting plans, and complex financial family law matters. She brings particular strength to cases involving tax considerations, drawing on her specialized training in tax preparation to help clients navigate financial issues with confidence.
“It is rewarding to see how relieved my clients are at the end of their cases. I am grateful that I can help bring them peace and get them to a better place in their lives.”
Faye’s commitment to family law began early. While earning her degree in Family Studies and Human Development, she worked directly with families affected by divorce and domestic abuse, helping children cope with significant life transitions. That experience continues to shape her compassionate, client-centered approach to family law.

Whenever possible, she works toward practical, out-of-court resolutions that reduce stress, time, and expense while protecting her clients’ long-term interests.
