About Araceli Amaya

Family law attorney in Washington

I have spent my entire professional career representing clients who require assistance with family law issues. This experience will be put to use on your behalf. My advocacy style is compassionate, honest, and assertive. I've tried dozens of cases and settled hundreds more with equal or greater success. I work as a lawyer. This means that I can see an issue, try to resolve it amicably, but if that is not possible, I have the skills to advance your issues in court.

Being a career family law attorney has taught me several valuable lessons, which I hope resonates with you.

You have to pick your battles. A successful family law attorney educates his/her clients on what battles to pick.

Part of my job is to help my clients understand that they must be selective about which problems, arguments, and confrontations they pursue. My clients have many issues to deal with, but the reality is that not every issue is equally important in the legal world. Strategic thinking enables me to direct my clients' valuable time, energy, and financial resources toward issues that will have the greatest impact on their overall goal.

Compassion is a necessary trait of a successful family law attorney.

A person navigating a family law issue is in the unusual position of facing an adversary who they once loved and cared for. A family law client's problems are not only legal and financial, but also emotional. I am sympathetic and compassionate to my client's situation.

A successful family law attorney must be assertive and ready to advocate for their client in any setting.

When clients seek an aggressive attorney, I believe they are looking for an attorney who is proactive, responsive, and creative in problem solving. That person is me. Family law clients want to be heard, and they rely on my expertise in and out of the courtroom to ensure that they are.
