David Paul Hazel

My divorce has just been finalized. Mr. Hazel and his staff assisted me through one of the most difficult experiences of my life and did so with care, consideration, and expertise. My case was excessively complicated and time-consuming in basically every way possible, and I was incredibly emotional a...nd obviously naive to the intricacies of the court system. Mr. Hazel and his staff, specifically Ms. Charmie Pulse, could not have performed a better service or been more understanding of my needs and desires. They were professional, timely, knowledgeable, and empathetic when needed... I could not be more grateful or impressed with all of them.

David represented me about 6 years ago in a divorce case. I had a very complicated case with a very abusive ex-husband with children involved and some assets. All in all he fought hard for me to keep custody of my children, and control of the assets. He assisted in avoiding a foreclosures, relocation..., and full custody of my children. He was aggressive in finding the truth behind all the financial games my ex was playing. It was an expensive battle, but he did accept payments from me for a good while. Unfortunately, before trial he decided not to move forward without me paying a significant amount (most of my balance) – which came out of left field, and frankly was impossible for me. I ended up showing up alone, but things were set up so well by Dave up to that point - there wasn't much that could have gone wrong. One thing I will never forget about Dave was his strength in the courtroom. He was in no way intimidated by my ex and his threats. He moved quickly and professionally with each matter that we came across. He got into court quickly when it mattered the most. His paralegal, Debbie at that time - was amazing & a talented writer. She captured our story well. I appreciate all they did. Dave is very well respected in the community for a reason, he gets the job done no b/s. Last I heard his daughter is now practicing w/him, I can only hope she will be as good as he is! I have full custody of my kids and live outside of Yakima County. We thank David for his time and efforts all those years ago, we are free of violence and are doing great.
