Raymond Stewart
I hired Jennifer Coombs at Envision Family Law to assist with a complex child custody modification. Her 25+ years of experience in Seattle family law was immediately apparent; she was well-versed in the local court procedures and her advice during our initial consultation was sound and practical. It's clear why she has received recognition in her field. The legal strategy she developed was solid, and the outcome for my case was ultimately fair. However, the process itself felt somewhat detached. There were periods of several days where I wouldn't receive responses to my emails, which added to my stress during an already difficult time. While her legal expertise from her decades of practice is undeniable, the client management aspect—managing expectations and maintaining consistent communication—felt just adequate. For straightforward matters, her deep knowledge of Washington family law is a definite asset, but be prepared to be proactive in following up.
