Founded by Shana E. Thompson in 2008, the firm serves families throughout King County and Snohomish County from its downtown Seattle location at 1200 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2020. Shana's approach to family law reflects conviction that divorce, while challenging, offers opportunity for families to transition cooperatively when guided by skilled attorneys bringing both firmness and understanding. Shana's career trajectory reflects genuine passion for family law practice. Over 18 years, she has developed deep expertise in all dimensions of family dissolution while building particular reputation for helping families resolve cases amicably through mediation and alternative dispute resolution when possible. This commitment to peaceful resolution doesn't mean weakness—Shana brings fierce advocacy when cases require litigation—but reflects recognition that children and families often benefit when parents can transition through dissolution cooperatively. The firm's reputation extends throughout King and Snohomish County courts. Shana has litigated family law matters through trial in both jurisdictions, meaning she brings courtroom experience and understanding of how different judges approach particular issues. Her reputation for both amicable resolution and skilled litigation makes her valuable partner for families with diverse needs—some seeking purely mediated resolution, others requiring aggressive litigation, many needing a combination depending on issues involved. What distinguishes Shana's practice is genuine success helping families resolve complex cases efficiently. The firm has developed reputation for taking cases of wide-ranging complexity—from straightforward uncontested divorces to extremely complex, highly contested matters involving substantial marital assets and heavily disputed custody arrangements. Rather than seeing complexity as problem, Shana approaches it as opportunity to apply sophisticated legal knowledge and negotiation skills bringing clarity and fairness to difficult situations. The firm's downtown Seattle location makes convenient access possible for families throughout the greater Seattle area and King County. The office at Fifth Avenue reflects integration into Seattle's legal community and proximity to King County courts where many matters are litigated.
