LAW OFFICES OF CYNTHIA WHITAKER was formed in 1984 and is located in downtown Seattle, Washington.  The firm offers representation in family law matters including dissolution of marriage (divorce), parenting (custody), child support, and relocation issues.  We don’t handle adoptions, estate, guardian, or probate work.  Our team consists of three lawyers and two legal assistants. 

We offer individualized service and a customized approach to each case, as determined by attorney and client working together.  While we believe agreement on all issues is conceptually the best outcome for clients, the firm has significant litigation experience and is prepared to litigate if an agreement beneficial to our client is not possible. 

Our professionals understand the emotions and stress inherent in family law issues and are experienced in helping the client cope with these difficulties. 

We are experienced in dealing with all financial aspects of family law cases, including business and professional practice valuations, retirement assets, real property valuation,  maintenance issues, and tracing separate property.  We recommend and utilize outside forensic experts when appropriate or necessary. 

We’ll explain the options, give recommendations, explain the basis for the recommendations, and then the client decides. 
 

It’s your life and family and you should obtain the best representation possible for your situation.   Our team is ready to help you.
