Very professional, dependable, and helps you through things that are unknown to me in the process of a divorce. Highly recommend

Was looking for a lawyer for my custody case. I read some good reviews on this place and was very optimistic. I sent all the paperwork that I had over to the office almost 2 weeks before my consult was scheduled. Finally the day comes to do the consult and she hadn’t even bothered to read the paperwork I sent over before hand. So the first several minutes of my consultation was spent with her just skimming over the documents I sent. After that when I tried to explain the situation to her, she was very rude and condescending. When I would say some thing about some thing in the court order, she would argue with me and say no it doesn’t say that. I would say yes it does, I have read this court order at least 50 times, and then I would have to spend another minute waiting for her to skim through it and read it over again and say oh I guess you’re right it does say that. Mind you, I was paying $200 for a 30 minute consult and she spent at least a third of that time reading this paperwork and arguing with me about what it said. How do you get off arguing with me about what a court order that you haven’t even read says?? Anyways at one point she literally told me that I need to lose the attitude against my ex because it’s not going to help me. Obviously I’m not going to walk in a quart room and have attitude with the judge but I should be able to express my feelings to my lawyer hey, at least I thought so. It seemed to me that she felt because she was older than me, she could scold me like she was my mother. She literally said “I’m gonna sound like your mother for a minute”. She constantly interrupted me and argued with me the whole time, and repeatedly told me that basically she did not believe what I was telling her and there HAD to be another explanation for why certain things happened in my case. I was very clear from the beginning that my ex is a literal sociopath and the GAL was extremely biased and I got massively screwed over. If things had been done correctly and fairly the first time, I wouldn’t have been here looking for a lawyer now! Anyways, this was by far the most unprofessional consultation I have ever had and the biggest waste of $200 I’ve ever spent. At the very least, she should have actually taken a few minutes to read the court orders I sent over before our consultation, considering she had almost 2 weeks to do so. Extremely unhappy and would not recommend, unless you want to spend $200 for 30 minutes of someone arguing with you and treating you like a child.

Katherine my attorney, was great. She listened, asked appropriate questions and I feel she advised me in the best way possible.

They are professional, efficient and incredibly kind. I recommend using Akiona Law for all of your legal needs! They will assist you when you need legal representation and make the entire process easier and way less stressful for you.

Thank you for the most excellent advice about my custody questions. I was a really triggered mama, and you gave me honest and clear-headed advice. I knew you were right, I went straight home and encouraged my daughter as you advised. We made a plan, I gave her some tools and we are doing exactly what we have to do.Thanks for helping push me out of emotion into clear-headed action. Im really grateful for your counsel. When I tried to look it up online, it got really confusing, really quickly. I didnt get answers, I just got lost. Thank you for being so helpful and efficient! You got me all sorted out with! 😃I would 💯 recommend Akiona Law to any friend needing a child custody lawyer.

Did first Zoom meeting today, was impressed. Felt heard and have a path forward to resolve my issues.

The staff at Akiona Law, PLLC has always been very professional and attentive to my needs. This is the third time I have used their services for my divorce/custody/child support needs. Each and every time the broke it down and told me what I needed to hear, even if it wasn’t in my favor. They are more worried about getting the job down right the first time without needing to go in front of a judge.

Jenny Chung was very informative and helpful on our phone viist. Thank you!

Amazing work. There really try they best to helped you out base on each individual situations!

The team at Akiona law was extremely professional, thorough and understanding. The support, care and guidance they provided through an extremely difficult and emotional situation I will be forever grateful for.

Akiona Law is AMAZING!! Their team answered my questions told me what I should do and things I shouldnt. They walked me through the next steps and gave me the tools/resources I need to help me through this.

Attorney Jennifer Ching is amazing and knows Snohomish County Courts very very well. I have had nothing but good experiences with this firm and I highly recommend them.

The law firm worked with me in every aspect of the divorce. They were very reasonable cost wise, and not at all pushyThank you for the work you performed.

When I started the daunting task of finding a lawyer it stressed me out. I searched divorce lawyers for men because as a father, I felt like courts favored the mother. I was clueless and wanted someone to fight for me.After reading through twenty different law offices websites, that were all great, I saw that Akiona Laws website focused on divorce. I needed to understand what my rights were as a father so the website helped me choose them.On the phone, Kyler (Paralegal) was upfront and clear with what I should expect. It was a good start to the process.My meeting with Attorney Jenni Ching was very professional and thorough. I needed a lawyer to look through my case, as I had no paper work from my ex-wife, to tell me what my rights were as a father and what I was responsible for moving forward. Jenni provided me with the documents of my case so that I could actually read the conclusions to understand what she was explaining.I am so happy and greatful I chose Akiona law. They gave me peace of mind about my position as a father and I will return to Jenni to represent me if I need it in the future. In addition, Kyler was expeditious and warm.Im writing a lengthier review because I believe good people and good service deserve recognition. I am not a high paying client and I felt the people at this law firm were trustworthy and left me feeling like the expense was fair.

Prompt, Knowledgeable, good listener

Good advice

Thank you Akiona Law and Team for helping me through my difficult divorce. Knowing you were by my side made all the difference in getting what I wanted. I would not even think to enter the court room without you.Thank you for your hard work, attention to detail, and especially your top notch customer service.

Went in for a consultation. Was not dissapointed in the service we received. Cozy office. Chocolate was good. Staff friendly. Would feel confident hiring if we end up needing an attorney.

Ms Akiona was amazing through my divorce! In one of the scariest and most difficult times of my life she was there with a listening ear, yet confidence to fight the battle ahead of me. She was very direct and factual, in my very emotional state, I felt like she always had my best interest at heart, and helped me plan for my future, not just in the moment of crisis. I would highly recommend her to anyone who was going through a divorce, there isnt enough thanks that I can offer to her and her staff!

Peace of mind isnt easy to find when dealing with legal issues, but when we leaned on Akiona Law for our legal matters they were able to counsel us in a way that lifted our burden and concerns.Id recommend Ms. Akiona to anyone seeking Family and Divorce Attorney support or guidance, shes supported us during more than 1 circumstance and never left us unsettled.

Akiona Law helped guide me through my case in record time. Their team responds quickly to client concerns and deals efficiently with all manner of issues. Akiona Law came highly recommended from friends who pointed me towards them for their no-nonsense approach to family law.

Wonderful folks who treated me well and gave me a hefty discount for my military history. Jodi was knowledgeable and had great contacts at the court house which made our trial there smooth and trouble free. I highly recommend these folks to represent you.Respectfully,HM1 (FMF/SW) Tompkins, Jason S. (RET)

Saw Jodi, She laughed at how much money I made, actually laughed, (thanks for the ego boost), she wasnt sure how much to charge for an uncontested divorce and decided it wasnt worth looking into, she obviously didnt want my business...that cost me a hundred dollars. Took me 5 minutes to find someone else who seemed a lot more interested in helping/taking my money.

A hard divorce is all the harder when the fight is over child custody too. Its harder still when you live across the state from the courthouse and your lawyer. Thats the situation I found myself in when I contacted Akiona Law to represent me.It seems odd saying I Loved it with my review, but the 5-star rating is what Akiona Law earned. Even though we were unable to meet in person, the firm made it clear they were dedicated to my case and passionate about representing me. The quality of communication I had with the firm also helped put me at ease about the outcome of the case and the fact that I wasnt there in person.The firm delivered more than I could have asked for, during such a trying time. If there were more stars, I would click on them too.

Ms. Akiona was efficient, knowledgeable and very kind. She gained my trust quickly by understanding my need and answering my questions without loosing me in legal-ease.

I had two weeks to file divorce paper work. It was already filled out, but I was moving and needed an attorney to file and go to court for me. It took 9 days to recieve the legal service agreement. I called the Friday after my Monday consultation and was told I would receive it on Monday. I delayed my move across the country so I could be in state when the paperwork was filed. Nothing came until Thursday, and my paperwork needed to be filed on the following Monday. It would have gotten in just in time, had anyone known (knowledge an attorneys office absolutely should have) that the superior court did not take personal checks. The delay was blamed on a miscommunication, and that they were under the impression that they had until November, which they did. I did not leave the state until November. Regardless of the reason, all that was required from their office was to send me a legal service agreement, and file my (already filled out) initial divorce paperwork within 2 weeks, and they could not accomplish that. Very disappointedEdit: I have been informed that it was stated in the legal service agreement that court fees must be paid in money order or cashiers check. Unfortunately, I had no way of knowing that, as I dropped my personal check off a full week before I even received the legal service agreement, and Ms. Akionas legal assistant was either not informed of this either, or chose not to pass that information along to me, as I was standing in front of her, writing a personal check. In addition, I gave specific dates at my consultation, and regardless of whether it was 4 days, or 100 days, I was told it could and would be done. Further, I was in the office on the 22nd. I left the state on the 31st. I was a legal resident of the state until the 5th.

Akiona Law conducted themselves professionally and efficiently throughout my case and were very easy to work with during this difficult time. I would recommend them to close friends.

Appalled at the individual who called me back who was unprepared and not ready to even talk to me, because she failed to have her information ready. More upset she shushed me while I was explaining things. Did you know you can listen to what a potential client has to say, and let them know when they are DONE speaking you need one moment and ask them to repeat what they were saying? Interrupting and shushing me is not only disrespectful but just classless on your behalf. It makes me believe you wont actually help me in my case and ignore what i have to say (for future referencing). Super happy we never continued forward with working with this group of attorneys. Based off of the other reviews ive seen its clear ive made a good choice.
