I have over 20 years experience handling legal issues impacting families. This span of years has enabled me to relate to my clients' points of view from the personal perspective of being a single, married, divorced, a single parent and as a blended family. I started out as an associate member of a two-attorney firm in Everett, WA after receiving my Juris Doctorate from the University of Puget Sound School of Law (Seattle University Law School) and I opened my own solo practice over 15 years ago. I have had the unique experience of being admitted to the Bar...

Hello – my name is Chris Stahnke. I am an associate attorney, having come to the firm with great experience and hopes for a long and successful career.

I am an attorney who specializes in comprehensive Estate Planning and Uncontested Probate. I help people set up Trusts, Wills, and Powers of Attorney. To give my clients peace of mind, I create custom plans to address their specific goals and concerns. As I narrowly focus on this area of law, I have expertise beyond that of a general practitioner. Also, I provide services on a flat-fee basis whenever possible, so that clients do not have to worry about being billed every time they have a quick question. What also differentiates me from other attorneys is that I train financial advisors,...

In my practice, I prioritize collaboration, where clients work together with a professional support team, outside of the courtroom, to create customized agreements that work for all parties. When negotiation isn’t enough, I’m prepared to take a more aggressive stance in litigation to advocate for your rights and best interests. And for those seeking a more streamlined, self-directed approach, I offer mediation services, guiding you through the process, with minimal attorney involvement if that is your preference, while still ensuring legal safeguards are in place. My philosophy is rooted in civility, communication, compassion, and respect. Divorce and family law matters...

Before law school, I was going to be a Professor of Spanish Literature because I love books and learning about people and cultures. But a few things came up along my way into academia—kids. My oldest are twins and were born just before I finished as an undergraduate at BYU. My third was born when I was finishing up graduate school at Stanford. Number four came along part way through law school. I love being a father and I discovered that people are far more interesting than books. Being an attorney empowers me to help resolve problems.
