Michelle Susan Stevens

Michelle Stevens has practiced Family Law for over 20 years. She is a licensed attorney in both Washington and California, as well as a certified facilitative mediator and a child attorney in California. She has handled many cases ranging from Juvenile Dependency to Domestic Violence. She considers Family Law to be a nice balance of litigation, counseling and mediation.

Michelle is very empathetic to clients going through divorce due to her own experience going through a divorce with four children of her own. She believes that her personal experience with divorce has also made her a better attorney. She focuses on minimizing the trauma that divorce can cause the children. She believes that “In family law, there is no winning for either parent, but there is a right way and wrong way to do it for the children.”

Pacific Northwest born and raised; Michelle moved to California where she received her Juris Doctor in Law degree from Western State University. She practiced Family Law for over 20 years in California before moving back to Washington to be closer to family. When she isn’t in court, she enjoys trail riding her quarter horse mare. Whenever she has the opportunity, Michelle likes to go skiing as well.
