Ellen M. Hendrick PLLC

Ellen M. Hendrick, PLLC stands as Spokane's premier family law practice, providing experienced, dedicated representation to families navigating divorce and family law transitions throughout Eastern Washington. Opened in 2003 and headquartered at 905 West Riverside, Suite 601, Spokane, Ellen brings over 15 years of focused family law experience to every client engagement. Ellen's education at the University of Washington School of Law, where she earned her Juris Doctor in 2002, provided rigorous training preparing her for sophisticated legal practice. Her decision to open her own practice immediately upon admission in 2003 reflected commitment to building a focused family law practice serving Spokane and Eastern Washington communities. What truly distinguishes Ellen's practice is particular expertise in large-asset and high-conflict family law matters. Ellen recognizes that some divorces require attorneys with sophisticated understanding of complex financial situations and proven courtroom advocacy skills. Rather than treating complex cases as problems, Ellen brings specialized knowledge addressing asset valuation, high-conflict custody arrangements, and sophisticated litigation strategy. Her hundreds of trial victories reflect both legal knowledge and persuasive courtroom presence. Ellen's approach emphasizes value of mediation and alternative dispute resolution when feasible. She genuinely believes families often benefit from resolving differences cooperatively when possible. Yet her extensive trial experience means she brings fierce advocacy when cases require intense litigation. This balanced approach—promoting peaceful resolution while being absolutely prepared to litigate fiercely when necessary—characterizes her practice philosophy. The firm handles complete family law matters: divorce and dissolution, child custody and visitation arrangements, spousal maintenance (alimony), property division including complex asset analysis, contested and uncontested matters, and all post-judgment modifications and enforcement issues. The convenient downtown Spokane location makes access easy for families throughout Spokane County and surrounding Eastern Washington regions. Free consultations ensure families can understand options and Ellen's approach without financial commitment. For Spokane and Eastern Washington families seeking representation from an attorney with 15+ years exclusive family law experience, particular expertise in complex and high-conflict matters, and genuine skill in both mediation and aggressive litigation, Ellen M. Hendrick provides partnership with one of the region's most capable family law practitioners.
