Note: As required by the Washington Rule of Professional Conduct 7.4(d)(3), this notice is provided to inform readers "that the Supreme Court of Washington does not recognize certification of specialties in the practice of law and [a] certificate, award, or recognition is not a requirement to practice law in the state of Washington." An attorney practicing in Washington is required only to be admitted to practice in Washington; an Avvo rating may provide a piece of information to consumers but it is not recognized by the Supreme Court of Washington as a certification of specialty.

Third Party Custody
I knew I had a challenging road ahead of me when I needed third party custody. I looked on AVVO for the right attorney to help me.

As a dedicated volunteer for the volunteer lawyers program, she understands the important roles that lawyers play in the community.

Ms. Base is thorough, intelligent, and innovative in her thinking. She found legal theories to help me with my case that I hadn't considered. She was prompt in her responses, and did an excellent job. I highly recommend Ms. Base to tackle any difficult tasks, or when you need the job done right."
