Jeremy J Bishop

I've used Jeremy for divorce and post-secondary support. I sought his counsel through the divorce and was very happy with the quality and timeliness of his services. The post-secondary support action was considerably more difficult and contentious: hostile opposition who left the state and took ...a job paying less than half of what her current job paid after being served. Jeremy was very reasonable and focused on my needs. I was consistently impressed at how he worked my requests into the process. In court, there were a number of claims made by the opposition that Jeremy skillfully defended. I was also impressed at his conduct during those hearings: patient, focused, thoughtful, and respectful. When the time came to stand up and push back he held his ground and kept the focus on the issue. Rates were very reasonable and I felt that Jeremy and his team charged appropriately. There are probably cheaper lawyers out there, but after more than a few trips to court, I can't recommend any of them based on what I saw. After 22 months of zero payment by my son's mother, and with Jeremy's help (plus some good work from WA Department of Child Support working across state lines) I've received two deposits. Too many lawyers are quick to endorse a course of action that increases their fees without any real hope of a payout. Jeremy will tell you the facts and rules and focuses on helping you achieve the most positive outcome. That's the highest praise I can offer a lawyer.

My ex had requested a child support modification where she wanted almost 3x's what I was already paying and was way more then she needed! The state had already reviewed both of our incomes and expenses and had decided to double my child support, which I thought wasn't right either. I was in complete ...agreement that I should pay more but it still needed to be fair. At my consultation while reviewing the paperwork Jeremy noticed that the state did not take into accountability that I have another 2 biological children with my wife that I obviously help support and adding my other 2 children to the paperwork calculation should have lowered my child support amount to where is should have been. Not to mention that he told me that because I had been current on my child support payments for years I should have been claiming my child on my taxes every other year, I had no idea I could do this! My wife and I decided to hire Jeremy to get the child support payments where it needed to be, as hiring him would save us Lots of money in the long run and it did. Jeremy and his assistant Lindsey were always in communication with us about everything, it was great. They e-mailed or called us every time something new was going on and to keep us in the loop about what my ex , her attorney and the state wanted to do. And they didn't nickel and dime us every time they called, emailed or sent us something. In fact they only charged us for his time in court, with the other attorney or doing paperwork. Most attorneys I've ever dealt with charged me every time we spoke or emailed so it was so nice to get my bills and see that they were not doing this. By the time everything was done Jeremy got the child support payment amount EXACTLY where he said it should be when we first met at my first Consultation! My family and I are very happy with all the work that Jeremy and Lindsey did. I would hire him again in a heart beat and will recommend him in the future to anyone looking for a great attorney!

I hired Mr. Bishop for help with a mediation for a parenting plan that my ex and I no longer agreed to. I live in another state (my daughter was born there, and her dad lives there, all of our court documents have to be done in WA). I was very concerned about hiring an unknown lawyer that I would n...ot get a chance to meet. I am so thankful that he was recommended to me. Right from the start, Mr. Bishop listened to my concerns, and fears about the case, and made me very comfortable. He never made me feel like I was taking up to much of his time with my concerns, and always answered my questions quickly and honestly. He did not make empty promises, and always told me what he thought would happen, even if it was not the outcome I wanted. He also worked with me on the child support hearings, and the outcome for the parenting plan and child support was very satisfying to me. I would recommend him to anyone looking to hire a family law attorney who cares about his clients! I will hire him in the future, if the need arises.

Jeremy represented me in a paternity/child support case. Aside from he and his personal assistant being unrepsonsive (waiting days even weeks to hear back) he would tell me the need to be at court was neglible but come back with results that didn't touch base on anything I had discussed with him in p...erson and through letters. How can I trust my lawyer fully when he neglects to present information or follow through on the wants/needs of his client? He's quick to charge you for every minute of his time, though.
