Highly Recommended

I highly recommend Ms. Arlene Joe as a family law attorney. I live in another state and had to initiate and process a complex family guardianship case in Washington State. Ms. Joe guided me through the court processes of formalizing the guardianship of the Estate and Person, setting up a Special ...Needs Trust and ensuring the bank account to administer the SNT was set up according to law and IRS regulations. Ms. Joe is a knowledgeable, professional who is always concerned about what is best for her client, and was extremely responsive to my questions and concerns. I highly recommend her as a knowledgeable and caring legal professional.

I could not have made it through this emotionally devastating ordeal without Arlene's compassionate guidance

Arlene Joe helped us gain full custody of our special needs grandson whom we have raised his whole life from his parents who are unable to provide the care he needs. Having to fight my son for his son was emotionally devastating and never in my worst nightmares did I ever think I would have to do su...ch a thing. There is no way I could have made it through this without Arlene's kind, compassionate, knowledgeable help. Not only were we able to settle with our grandson's parents, but with Arlene's help, we were able to complete this onerous task while being able to start rebuilding our relationship with our son and his girlfriend so that our dream of having his parents in his life but most importantly not in control of his life so that he is safe and given the best possible means, treatments, therapies, and support he needs to become as successful in his precious life as we know he can be. Throughout the whole process, Arlene was incredibly supportive and constantly worked with all parties to ensure the best possible outcome for all of us.

Review for Arlene Joe

I have had an excellent client relationship with Arlene Joe. In the beginning, I was very confused about the entire process and had unrealistic expectations. I had to restructure a parenting plan under some difficult circumstances. She was very patient and clear about what I could expect and yet h...elped me craft a plan that was unique to my needs. Her thorough knowledge and excellent preparation kept my case going in the direction it needed to go. She worked with a subtle and yet very firm hand on my behalf. I think her best strength is discovering what I needed, being realistic about what could be wrought, and then crafting a clear parenting plan for it. She was excellent dealing with the other parties as well--I was pleased her firmness and integrity.

Outstanding

Arlene is amazing. Very professional and extremely well respected by judges. She was responsive and knowledgeable. Ours was a custody case for our granddaughter. We found Arlene to be compassionate and fair. She was able to prod the lawyers on the other side to do their job too.
