About Virginia
Biography
In over twenty years of practicing family law, in both California and Washington, it has become clear that there should not be winners or losers in divorce cases. Rather, the goal is that both parties reach a mutually satisfactory result, with minimum cost and emotional trauma, particularly to any children involved. I have devoted my practice to helping families reach amicable, out-of-court settlements, in the most cost-effective manner possible.

Attorney review
Virginia was very knowledgeable about family law and helped me understand all of my options. She kept things low key and I am happy with the results I got and was able to keep an amicable relationship with my ex.
