By searching the Internet for a family law attorney in Pierce County, Washington, you already know that there is no shortage of attorneys from which to choose. With that in mind, we at Scholl Law Firm, P.S. want to make your attorney search a little easier by telling you right up-front some things that might help you make your decision.
Our fundamental belief is that the role of the attorney is to strive to resolve conflict, rather than inflame and intensify it. We believe that marriage dissolution (divorce), and other family law matters, should be, to the greatest extent possible, resolved outside the courtroom, by employing a wide range of dispute resolution methods, which could include negotiation, mediation, or the relatively new and highly-specialized process of Collaborative Law.
If you want a divorce lawyer who will help you "get back at" your "ex," keep searching. If you want to hire a "bulldog" who will "take your ex for everything," look elsewhere.
But if your marriage is ending, and you need a divorce with dignity, respect, and fairness, we would be pleased to have you Contact us by e-mail, or telephone at 253-579-1126 to speak directly to our cheerful, caring staff, and to arrange your initial consultation with one of Pierce County, Washington's most respected and experienced family law attorneys.
Bringing peace to your troubled world
Divorce is one of the most intensely difficult events that can happen in someone's life. In one single event, divorce disrupts the stability of your life, and threatens the security of your future. It is a cataclysmic event that shakes you to the core emotionally, adversely affects you financially, and changes virtually every aspect of life as you have known it. And, of course, if there are children involved, the stakes are higher, the fear is greater, and your need to successfully navigate the legal system is all the more intense.
At Scholl Law Firm, P.S., you will find a team of experienced, dedicated professionals ready to do what it takes to guide you through all aspects of the divorce process. Not only will you be expertly represented in Court when necessary, you will also find support and personalized assistance in getting your disrupted life back on track so that you will have a much greater chance of emotional and financial success as you move forward.

Alternative dispute resolution
Litigation is always very costly, both financially and emotionally. We strongly encourage alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation and negotiation, to resolve your legal problems. Attorney Michael H.
