Hire Her! - Excellent Attorney That Will Fight For You!

She was able to get my criminal case dismissed entirely! After reviewing evidence, two options were thoroughly explained to me and we chose to go for complete dismissal. Having it dismissed was a huge weight lifted from my whole family. She is extremely intelligent and I strongly recommend her!

Absolutely the best!!

I hired Chelsea after my first law firm abruptly closed their family law part of the practice. Chelsea was on top of everything from start to finish. She communicated with me every step of the way. She was able to do in a short time what took my other firm months (and they didn't get it done). When m...y final court date came, I got everything we were asking for!! I can't recommend her enough, she truly is a Rockstar attorney and I would refer her to anyone I know without question or pause. If I could give her over 5 stars, I would. PWR is very lucky to have her!!

Thank you

I hired Chelsea for a dissolution/custody battle. I am so grateful to Chelsea for providing the best advocacy during a difficult time. She has made sure that my best interests are her top priority. Chelsea is extremely well prepared, hardworking, compassionate and dedicated. I cannot begin to describ...e the heartache and grief this battle had caused, but to have Chelsea on my team was the greatest comfort. Chelsea is the only person I would call if I had a legal issue, and the reason for this is because I trust her completely. Even if we didn't get the result we would want, Chelsea never gave up, and would not stop fighting for us. The ending result was a triumphant win, and I am so grateful to her. She truly saved my kids and I and made a dark and scary situation, very bright. I highly recommend Chelsea.

Poorly prepared

Unprepared, disorganized, less than straightforward and poor communication. I was a terrible experience.

Horribly Unprepared

My wife hired Chelsea for a relocation that eventually went to trial. She was completely unprepared for trial, showed up for trial with a small folder and a dead iPad. Didn't fight for our case, didn't do the homework. Would not hire her even as a last resort.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ms. Raines is a bright up and coming attorney in the Grays Harbor community. While she has not been practicing long, she is a fierce advocate with a passion for representing those who need a voice. I recently worked a case involving a mutual client. I was very impressed with her ability to listen and exercise patience while balancing the stress of difficult facts and an overly eccentric client. In the end, the client was very satisfied with her representation. The Grays Harbor area has gained an ardent advocate for those in need of representation."

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.
