Top-Tier Divorce Attorney You Can Trust

Shadan is incredible! She was the best attorney I could have hoped for—knowledgeable, experienced, and truly dedicated. She went above and beyond in handling my divorce trial, offering not only top-tier legal representation but also compassion and encouragement throughout the process and even after i...t ended. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and support made a difficult time much more bearable. I feel truly blessed to have had her by my side. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an exceptional attorney!

Thank you for a great experience during a difficult time.

I didn't really know what to expect when I started this experience, but I was pleasantly surprised through the process. Ms. Kapri provided timely and effective communication answering all of my questions which significantly reduced my stress. Her knowledge and input was invaluable as she offered ma...ny critical suggestions, making sure that we protected my interests during the entire time. I would highly recommend her firm and won't hesitate to use her services again if needed. Thank you Shadan, you are awesome!

Great Negotiator/Great Attorney!

I went through a tough divorce and being out of state needed an attorney in Washington. I hired Shadan as that attorney due to research I had done online and the good reviews that she had received. She worked hard in a tough case with a lot of negotiation needed. She was intelligent with her strat...egy and compassionate with my getting through this tough divorce. Shadan is a good negotiator and saved me money and time in my divorce. She negotiated a good and fair child plan for me to see my son. She did all of this without me having to travel to Washington State which saved me additional time and money. I highly recommend Shadan to anyone going through a tough divorce! She knows what she is doing and her knowledge and kind words settled me down when I was upset or confused. Though kind, Shadan is tough and will work hard for you in getting a fair and honest deal. I'm grateful to her for her efforts and highly recommend her for her work and negotiation.

Incredible Family Law Attorney!!

Kapri Law Firm is amazing. Shadan has helped me navigate an out of state parenting plan modification process. I had to scour the internet, reading through reviews on a hope and a prayer that I would find an attorney that could help me and would help me on short notice. After countless calls and e...mails to other Spokane attorney’s, Shadan agreed to take my case. I have worked with several other family law attorney’s previously and have never met someone like Shadan. She doesn’t make you feel like you are just another client, case, or dollar sign. She is incredibly genuine, making me feel COMPLETELY at ease knowing she could portray my best interests in the courtroom because she took the time to listen to my story. She exudes the utmost professionalism and her knowledge of the legal system is impeccable. She kept me informed on the legal process and I never had to wonder what was going to happen next. Shadan has always been available when I had a question or concern. She has exceeded my expectations with how prompt she was to respond to emails and phone calls. She even worked with me on the weekends to make sure that we met our deadlines for court because of my work schedule. Her fees are incredibly reasonable and I paid a FRACTION of what my Ex has spent for an attorney that overcharged him and under-delivered in the court room. Shadan is an absolute GEM! Do not hesitate to hire her because I cannot say enough good things about my experience and her work. Kapri Law Firm cares and it radiates in everything that Shadan does for her clients.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
