Margaret Barton Lund

I had a divorce case with an abusive Narcissistic husband that Maggy went the extra mile to give me extra resources to deal with him. She took the extra time to explain things when I was in a heightened emotional state. Its clear that Maggy takes her cases very personal and does what it takes to give... great customer service. Thank you.

I was referred to Ms. Lund by another excellent attorney who was not able to assist me just due to the nature of my case. I am very grateful that things happened as they did. I wanted strong representation after being served with a Domestic Violence Restraining Order that was simply ridiculous and ...which could severely affect my 17-year military career. Maggie was immediately responsive, passionate, open, and honest. She explained things to me in detail so that I would understand why certain things were or were not happening, and kept me informed throughout the process. Maggie worked with me to get the facts in front of the court in the most efficient manner. She let me know exactly what I needed to do, and then she responded with the product (declarations, forms, etc.) immediately. When I had a question, she responded to my emails and calls right away. When Maggie stood next to me at my final hearing in court, she laid the facts out so clearly. She painted the true picture of what was happening behind the scenes vs. the Petitioner's false statements. I could not ask for a better attorney to help me through this very difficult time. Ultimately, the DVPO was denied and I can move on to my next duty assignment with this behind me. I credit this to Maggie and her staff directly. I would recommend Ms. Lund to anyone with even the most complicated Family Law or Civil matter. She has a knack for taking a jumble of information and tailoring it to represent what you are trying to say, but do not have the expertise to do effectively. While this was a very difficult and stressful time for my family and me, I did rest in the knowledge that Maggie was on our side. Thank you, Maggie, for everything.

I recently went through a divorce. My case was pretty simple but everything was explained in detail to not only me but my now ex husband. No detail was missed including a new law about the possibility of him being able to come back years later asking for his portion. Not only did they make it simple... for me but due to my situation they helped me out with the final costs. Highly preferred!!!!

When I walked into Maggie's office I had no idea how to untangle the beginnings of my broken marriage. She is patient and informative. She gave me options to help me problem solve. Her insight and knowledge allowed me to feel confident in moving forward with what could've been a very hard situatio...n. I have recommended her to several people since. Tacoma is lucky to have her!

I hired this lawyer for a limited appearance for a divorce settlement hearing. When I first spoke to the lawyer I felt that she would have my best interest at hand. But later I felt like she wanted to do the bare minimum and have me sign a settlement that I felt was not very fair. I kept trying to ex...plain my situation and trying to to get a fair deal for my needs but the lawyer would talk down to me as if I were an imbecile. I am not a lawyer and I do not know law and for that reason alone I hired someone so they could protect me. I did not feel like she was trying to protect me or get me the best deal possible. I felt she just wanted to get over and done with it and not find me a good settlement. In the end I got a lousy deal and matter wasn't resolved or closed when she left me. Now I am back in the same situation in which I had originally started with, having to deal with the lawyer my husband hired directly. And of course she's been doing a very good job with her client. As a military spouse and wife of nearly twenty years I have nothing to show for it and will be in a position where I won't be able to support myself with an entry level job. I wasn't in a financial position as my husband was to be able to afford a lawyer to represent me and in the end I felt like it was important for me to get one because my case could default. In the end I spent a lot of money in which I couldn't really afford and basically getting just as much if I had defaulted. There were a lot of things this lawyer did not know and said she would have to research via internet and that it would go into the funds I gave her. So she did not have a lot of knowledge. It also took her a while to respond to my emails. She told me she was sick but she never had anyone in the office notify me. If you have the money I would recommend you hire someone with more experience and knowledge so you can get the best deal possible. If I had the money I would have hired someone with knowledge with military/family law and divorces.
