About Us|
It is
our philosophy to respect every client as an individual, and to
provide ethical advice and services that are appropriate to each
client's unique situation.
We understand the challenges of divorce, and focus on helping clients achieve long-term solutions that are consistent with their goals and their values. We do that by learning what is most important to the client. We do not provide cookie-cutter answers based on preconceived notions that disregard individual or unique needs. We counsel clients to carefully evaluate whether short-term actions come at the expense of their long-term goals and interests. That focus is enhanced by an exceptional understanding of the law, and knowledge of other relevant principles. J. Mark Weiss is recognized and respected as a leader in Washington for his expertise in divorce matters in general, and collaborative divorce in particular. He is one of a handful of attorneys in the greater Seattle area who have ended highly successful careers in litigation to become even more successful in non-adversarial dispute resolution. In January 2007, Mark transformed his practice and became a full-time collaborative divorce lawyer and consultant, and mediator, which required obtaining significant additional education (well beyond the required minima) to develop necessary skills. Mark has taught and written extensively on community property, business, and other family law and divorce issues. He has received numerous honors, including "Attorney of the Year" by the Family Law Section of the Washington State Bar Association in 2005, and "Super Lawyer" by Washington Law and Politics magazine, and the highest possible rating by Avvo. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Mark is particularly experienced and skilled in cases involving business and complex property issues, including professional practices. He is also experienced with more complex parenting (custody/visitation) matters. For more detailed information, click on the photograph or link below.
