Laurie G. Robertson, Washington Family Law Group, PLLC

I received a letter in the mail requiring a family court appearance in Washington State, I can remember being in a full panic when I received the letter because I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. When I did a quick search for attorneys in Everett, WA I came across Laurie Robertson. I spoke with Laurie about the situation I was going through and informed her of the summons I received from the family court in Everett. This was the first step in a 2 year process that involved an extremely complicated custody case involving two states 3,000 miles apart. During this process Laurie showed extreme dedication and emotional support when it was needed. Laurie was able to calm me down several time through these past two years and to focus on the big picture. This was extremely difficult to handle at times, but with her confidence and support I was able to understand that there was more to this case then what is happening "right now". During the process Laurie continued to get me more and more visitation with my son, it was extremely costly to bring him across the country, but the visitation became 14 days per month until we finally went to trial. After many trials, tribulations, guardian investigations, psychological evaluations, flights to and from Washington, we finally went to trial. I can’t stress enough how strongly I believe in Laurie and how well she knows the law. She has been doing this for a VERY long time, and if you could have heard how she performed in the court room you could be nothing less than amazed. In the end, my son was placed in my care and I could not be any happier with the results. Every struggle and expense throughout the process was worth it. IF you are a father that wants to be a part of your child’s life then LAURIE ROBERTSON can, and will help you. I will be maintaining Laurie as my primary attorney in Washington state.

Mrs. Robertson is an absolutely incredible divorce attorney. I cannot thank or recommend her enough. My case was a mess from the start. But, she just keep fighting and fighting for me and what was right. And, when my ex refused to be reasonable at mediation, we just went to trial. Laurie did an incredible job at trial. We kicked ass! I am so grateful to her and her team for everything they have done for me and my kids. I highly recommend her!!! Thanks again for everything Laurie!!!!!

Let me preface this by stating that Laurie Robertson was the opposing attorney in my case, and that the following are the simple facts. In November of 2014 my ex and I attended a meditation session in which we established a CR2A and a Parenting Plan. During the meditation Laurie informed me that I could expect final documents drafted and ready to sign within 3 weeks. 7 months have passed and I am now facing a noncompliance fee from the courts, the pending closure of my case without the CR2A/Parenting Plan having been filed, and possible harm to my daughter from her mother's side of the family without the legal protection the CR2A and parenting plan would provide, and this is all a result of Laurie failing to follow through on her promise to submit said documents to the courts. After dozens of calls and emails spanning this 7 month period, Laurie has refused to take or respond to my calls/emails; 6 weeks ago her secretary informed me in no uncertain terms that Laurie would not interact with me in any capacity. 5 weeks ago I called again only to be informed that Laurie had gone home for the day, yet when I arrived less than an hour later she was clearly present in her office. She refuse to give me the original CR2A and Parenting Plan so that I could file them myself, since she had failed to do so, but assured me that 3 weeks from that day she would have the final documents drafted and ready to submit to the courts, a task that should have been complete in mid December of last year. 5 weeks have now passed since this last promise and yet she has once again failed to follow through with her promises, not so much as even reaching out to me to inform me she would need more time; what's more, she continues avoiding my calls and emails, refuses to respond, and has instructed security to escort me out should I drop by again. As of today I have given her until this coming Monday to have my documents ready, and should they not be, I will be filing a grievance against her with the Washington State Bar Association. The following will now be purely opinion on my part. Laurie Gail Robertson appears to be actively subverting the intention behind the establishment of our CR2A/Parenting plan, which, when it comes to the safety and well-being of my child, is a blatant ethical violation. What's more, she has repeatedly promised to draft and submit these documents to the courts, yet fails to follow through, which leads me to question her integrity. It is my belief that Laurie is either willfully derelict in her duties, despite what harm it may indirectly cause to my daughter, and lacks even a shred of integrity, or she is incompetent as an attorney. I would encourage you to seek counsel elsewhere.

Zero stars for this attorney. She represented me in mediation and did nothing to fight for my kid. Two days before mediation, she asked "why would she ask for child support if you are in 50/50?". One day before mediation, i wanted to postpone it due to several reasons and she said "lets just do it and see what happens". Mediation was 8 hours of her and the mediator giving me the ultimatum "either take this agreement or lose in court". She was very coercive and quite clear that she had no intention of fighting for me. She repeatedly hid behind "i wasnt his attorney then" as her excuse to play dumb and allow mediation to be an exercise in blackmail and coercion. I had 50/50 with my son for the 2.5 years this divorce has dragged out. I now dont. Laurie sucks at communication and simply didnt answer most of my questions. It took her days to weeks to respond to anything. All she wants is your money. If your fine with a lawyer who doesnt communicate, doesnt prepare and simply shows up for your money, then she is for you. Im at a loss for how bad she has been in my case.

Laurie Robertson is a fantastic lawyer and handled my divorce case very well. She consistently kept me up to date on everything and was always very professional. I highly recommend her.

Working with Laurie I would highly recommend to anyone going thru a divorce with or without Children. Mine was a difficult lengthy process involving children with disabilities. In the end it all worked out for my son and I . Without Laurie fighting so hard for us I don’t know if the outcome would have been the way it was . I Will always send anyone her way and if things arise and I need changes made I will be calling Laurie again 😊

Family law Attorney: Laurie Robertson is a crooked, immoral, insensitive thief. I have hired her to help me with visitation with my child. She was overloaded with legal work and took my 6,000. Six thousand dollars sent me e.mails about how busy she was with her schedule and charged me for those e.mails that she sent me for the amount of 3,O00 three thousand dollars. Attorney :Laurie Robertson is taking advantage of a single mother who lives pay check to pay check and this insensitive, immoral, thief attorney : Laurie Robertson is hurting mothers and children with her evil actions
