Ted D. Billbe

I hired Ted 2 years after my divorce to deal with ongoing issues with my very difficult x-wife. He was recommended as a lawyer who was extremely knowledgeable about the King county family court and would not put me through needless ligation. He lived up to that expectation. He helped to navigate me t...hrough some hard situations with favorable outcomes. He always gave me the option of doing as much as I wanted on my own in order to save on legal fees, with good guidance along the way. I had to deal with court situations and arbitration and I always felt that I could trust him.

I hired Ted to help me with enforcement of some of the terms of my separation agreement a couple of years after I obtained my divorce. Our initial meeting was a consultation where he gave me steps I could try to take myself to move things forward with minimal cost. I later hired him to move a difficu...lt process forward to conclusion. I felt that Ted was sensitive to my situation, both my financial position and my ability to contribute to the process and provide input. In this way he helped me keep costs down and adapted to the approach I was comfortable with based on the options he laid out. Ted doesn't mess around or waste time, he is quick to act. When we decided what to do at each stage he did not delay, he did so immediately. For example when I was meeting with him in his office and we decided to communicate something to the other party's lawyer, he did so right at that moment, concisely and effectively. He was so attentive that he would often see and reply to emails from the other party's lawyer before I had even seen the original email arrive, whether in or out of office hours. Ted also ensured I was in the loop on every communication that happened. Ted has experience in using the arbitration process (as required in my settlement) and made the appropriate filings and submissions with the information needed to ensure a ruling in my favor, as well as exhibiting intimate knowledge of law and procedure (for example, indicating why respondent's claim of incorrect serving of papers was an invalid claim). Ted clearly works very hard and with dedication and I hope he schedules in some good vacation time to recharge. He is obviously doing a job he believes in and is passionate about because you don't reach the level of knowledge, skill and compassion he has if you just phone it in. I think he has great problem-solving skills - seeing a situation, understanding the motivations and likely behaviors of those involved, and using his legal tools and knowledge to devise a solution. My only regret is that I didn't know Ted when originally negotiating my divorce, because I believe his help would have ensured I didn't have the problems I did further down the line.

Ted Billbe represented me with the utmost respect and consideration. He is an outstanding lawyer who was prompt with all my requests and questions in regards to issues that faced me. He is completely knowledgeable and an expert in his field. He guided me with accurate information saving me thousan...ds of dollars. I had total confidence in his abilities. He really took the time to explain to me all obstacles that faced me so I understood completely my situation. He has a great understanding of the Family Court system and did everything he could to assist me. I highly recommend Ted to anyone who is in need of representation.

When my daughter was served divorce papers I was extremely worried. One of my greatest fears was that because she was well employed she would not receive the financial support required to give her two small boys a life she wanted for them. When she hired Ted Billbe, my worries vanished. Thanks to his... exceptionally sound knowledge, experience and advice she was well represented in a timely and professional manner, and the end results were fair and equitable.

When I was served divorce papers I knew that I needed someone capable in my corner. I was referred to Ted Billbe by a close friend who'd been in the same situation, and I knew right away by his pragmatic approach, extensive knowledge of family law, and his oh-so-direct style that he was THE attorney ...for me. I felt that suddenly I was in control. He and his associate attorney worked tirelessly as a team to make sure that my boys and I were protected from Day One. The law offices of Ted Billbe and staff gave me peace of mind, confidence, and security. I will be forever grateful, and I can't recommend their services highly enough!
