Okay, let me explain. I have no issues with the law group themselves, but I do have major issues with one of their recently hired lawyers. This lawyer is Ray Pollari.He barely communicated with us about our case, and withdrew last minute and wasn’t going to tell us he withdrew from our case until we called him and got on him about dropping us. Ray claimed to drop us due to “lack of communication”. My partner and I have proof that we had communicated with him since day 1 when he was hired, we turned in all necessary paperwork, and the only thing he really did for us was read some paperwork, and push our court hearing back to gather sufficient evidence.Please save yourself the trouble and never hire Ray. When we tried to question his ethics, he could only repeat himself on how he has “35 years in the business” and he really had no excuse to drop us.Never hire Ray Pollari because he will steal your money. The lawyer fees after the first phone call, equated to around 5,000$. He took almost all of it.Envision family law has helped many people, and done really well with family court for others, but Ray Pollari will be the downfall of this business. Never hire him as your lawyer.
Kimberly A. was amazing. She focused on what I needed to do and helped me every step of the way. Ive never gone through something like this and she made it as painless as possible. In the end I couldnt be happy with the result. Thanks Kimberly & EFL!
Scott Marlow handled my complicated case with ease. He and Royann were responsive, thorough, and ultimately succeeded in providing the ideal outcome for myself and my daughter. After years of grief, I now have full custody. He achieved this end in two months time. I’m very happy with my decision to retain Mr Marlow and would recommend him to anyone.
We highly recommend Natalie Roberts. She took our case after another attorney from another firm failed to represent us to our satisfaction. We worked with Natalie for almost two years before our custody trial. She always communicated clearly and directly, and was very knowledgeable. At trial, she was aggressive, but respectful. Her opening and closing arguments were touching and profound. She was instrumental in bringing our family back together, and for that we are grateful.
I had a very tight window in which to hire a lawyer to help me. Heather Ramirez came to my aid. She was wonderful to work with. I couldnt have asked for better!
Michelle was AMAZING! I was going through my divorce while deployed and she made every part of the process so easy. She responded almost immediately to each question I had (even with the time difference), was genuine and caring and all in all made this such a simple process. Thank you so much Michelle!
There were multiple topics discussed as being of high importance and concern to our family that never even got addressed by Mrs. Hiesy during our hearing. We were assured that she understood, that the topics were nothing to stress about and that she would be addressing these things.These include:-Not Paying the other party’s attorney fee-Requesting payment for our fees as we didn’t even get a lawyer until the other party did.-removing details/limitations around exchanges of child ( having my other child with me during exchanges)-first right to refusal in parenting plan-other party not completing mandatory court requirements by deadline.Along with failure to introduce or address these topics Cali Hiesy also failed to prepare for this hearing. She was unaware of multiple things filed in this case. Including my workSchedule, either parties income, number of children I have, my fiancé name (named in filed documents) etc. After the hearing we express our unhappiness with her representation and addressed what we believed to be the order from the commissioner. Cali didn’t write down these down correctly. We told her we wanted the court transcripts so we could double check who headed it correctly. Not only did she not do this but she signed and filled the orders without our review and they were wrong. We ordered the court transcripts our self to verify.To top things off when we addressed our issues with Envision family law office we not only were denied an overcorrect or compensation but rather sent an email stating Cali Hiesy was withdrawing from our case. Leaving us without an attorney to challenge the hearing ruling that she screwed up.
Michelle was amazing! Living out of state and in a different time zone, she was always very quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Michelle made my whole experience - that I was dreading - stress free! I highly would recommend Envision Family Law!
Jonathan is amazing! I have a high conflict ex that brought me to court many times. It used to be so horrible until I found Jonathan. It is such a relief to have him by my side in court. He cuts through all the smoke and mirrors of my hostile ex. Now with Jonathans help it is easy for the courts to see the truth and pattern of behavior. I can not explain how much Jonathan has helped our family.
I have used Envision Family Law for modifications and was very impressed, particularly with Jonathan Moffitt. He is knowledgeable, honest, responsive and reassuringly calm during the process (which can be stressful). Mr Moffitt is very upfront about possible outcomes so I was always prepared for what would be coming next and what our plan would be. He was highly skilled in dealing with opposing counsel and was well-prepared for hearings. I cannot recommend the firm and Jonathan enough.
I reached out to Envision Family Law and Jonathan Moffitt at one of the darkest times in my life and needing legal help through an incredibly contentious, incredibly scary custody battle. I was beyond satisfied and thrilled with how Jonathan helped me. At every step, he was responsive to what I needed. He understood what mattered and what didnt and where to focus our energies. He was prepared every time he stepped into a court room. Im struggling to put into words how much this law firms work mattered to me and my child. I can say this - when I was the most scared, when things seemed the most awful, Jonathan was the one who knew what to do and how to respond. You cannot put a price on that.
When this journey began, I knew I wanted the best representation possible. I did my research. I knew I wanted to be represented by someone ethical, tenacious, well-respected, and who would be a strong advocate for me! Bonus points for having good energy and a great sense of humor.It only made sense then that I chose to work with attorney Scott Marlowe.Fighting against a gaslighter (ex) in order for my husband to adopt my son was not going to be a fun or easy road, but Scott was ready to face the challenge. He assured me that he would give it his all, and he did! He never gave me unrealistic expectations. I appreciated his honesty, diligence, and professionalism. He’s also super funny!It was his sense of humor that sprinkled much-appreciated ease throughout one of the most emotionally exhausting experiences of my life.It was a life-altering decision to hire Scott— one that I am and will forever be grateful for. It is because of Scott that we were able to win our trial rightfully, terminate the abandoner’s rights, and have my husband adopt my son.Scott always made us feel like we were being taken care of and heard. Any concerns we had were addressed promptly. I never felt like I was in the dark. He and Royann Mercado Perez (his wonderful Paralegal) always kept us well informed. Scott’s presence in the courtroom is one that commands respect from both opposing attorneys and commissioners alike. I was proud to stand beside him and felt confident being represented by him!Thanks to Scott, his knowledge of court processes, his knowledge of the law, and for him being an amazing human being, the deadbeat’s rights were terminated and my son is adopted by the one who has truly been the father to him that he has always deserved. Thank you, Scott, for fighting for our peace and justice.
Everyone at Envision Family Law were amazing and so helpful. Kimberly April was my lawyer in a third party custody case and she was so nice and helpful. There is no way I could have done it on my own. I definitely recommend them!
Johnathan is a phenomenal attorney. I have used him as an attorney for my case that has lasted almost 2 years and he has done exactly what was needed to be done for us to be successful in court. I had a very difficult child custody case that involved my children being involved with illegal activity at the hand of my ex as well as other things. My ex was the ultimate con artist and was able make people think what ever he told them was true including legal and mental health professionals. Johnathan got all the facts and presented them to the court so that my side was heard and understood and my children were kept safe. Johnathan is also a very personable attorney that was able to make me feel at ease during the most stressful time in my life.
Jason Benjamin recently provide representation on my difficult family law case. I truly believe the odds were stacked against me. I came to Jason with limited time window and he delivered excellent service. Jason and his team put together a solid, through and winning defense. I highly recommend.
My son had been taken from me and the police cant do anything for you. I immediately did my research hoping to hire the best attorney. My child is the most important person in my life and I wasnt going to trust his fate to just anyone. I read and heard countless excellent reviews about Jonathan Moffitt. After hiring him he immediately got my son returned to me. Custody battles are an extremely stressful process and he was always available. He is very well spoken and prepared at all court dates. It is obvious that he is respected by judges and attorneys in the courtroom. I just finalzed my case and the outcome was far better than I had ever expected. The entire team at Envision Family Law is an incredible asset to have on your side.
In January of 2018 I reached out to Scott Marlow in hopes that he would take on my case. I was 4 months into a complicated custody battle with representation from another attorney. Making the switch was something I wish I had done sooner. When we had to go to trial Scott and his team made me feel comfortable and relieved. His confidence in the courtroom and support was truly refreshing. I knew he had my back and he worked hard toward and achieved an outcome that I felt happy with. Since I initially filed for custody of my daughter in 2013, I have had 3 attorneys prior to Scott all which did not offer the same pleasant experience. I continue to keep Scott in my corner and he has been more than helpful answering any questions and addressing any concerns that I have and always responds at his earliest convenience. If you are looking for an attorney I would highly recommend Scott.
When I was accused of violence toward my child, with no previous history from my ex-wife over the course of 17 years, I knew I was going to need an attorney. Although I thought the case took longer than it should have, it was not due to Jonathan dragging his feet. My ex continued to file last minute papers that had no bearing on the trial. She also continued to keep our two boys from me for almost 5 months. After she brought two different cases against me, we finally won and I now have my boys back according to the parenting plan that was originally set in place.I hope to never have to go through something like that again, but if I did Jonathan would be the first one I would contact. If you want someone who is going to fight for you, then you definitely want to hire Jonathan and his office. They were all easy to work with and very polite.Thank you Jonathan for getting my boys back! We are having a blast, once again!!
Lost my kids with the help of Kimberly Aprils advice. She also had my review taken down off the avo website. I had to submit documents that I did hire her. They are giving me a option to write another review. That speaks for itself.
Jennifer Coombs is amazing!!
Hiring Jonathan and his team was one of the best decisions I made in my time of need. He made the process painless and easy while providing great advise detailing the pros and cons so I could make educated decisions. On top of being a good teacher, Jonathan is a master in the courtroom. I enjoyed watching him run circles around the other attorneys who seem inferior compared to Jons competencies. If you need an attorney for your marital or child case, there is no one else I would recommend. Call Jonathan, you wont regret it.
Kimberly April was absolutely amazing to work with! She was extremely attentive and worked very hard on my case the whole way through. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great attorney who truly cares.
As someone who has been involved with family law for over 10 years and has represented myself and sought representation from other family law attorneys, Natalie reestablished the bar for me. She helped me understand each step of the process. She didnt sell me a bag of goods. She was authentic and realistic from consultation through the final order. I couldnt have asked for better representation. Her understanding of family law and court room etiquette helped put my mind at ease. I came away from this experience knowing a lot more about family law than I did going in.If only Natalie represented me from the beginning of my engagement with the family court system....Thanks Natalie! You are AMAZING!!!
I spoke with Jason about my situation and he was super helpful. Honest and forthcoming with his experience and opinion of what may come of my situation. I recommend him for anyone who is looking for a family lawyer.
I hired Jason Benjamin to represent me in a case in regards to my childrens father, and a parenting plan. Things got super ugly before I hired him, and I was beyond upset and hurt. Once I met with Jason he restored my faith, and made me feel empowered when it comes to my children. Him and his team did an exceptional job going to bat for my family, and I am forever grateful. He is extremely knowledgeable, confident, and will fight for what is right. I had the best experience, and worth every penny!
Michelle M. Cummings is an elite professtional that goes above and beyond. I went through a strange and difficult custody case. She made the process clear and concise. Michelle was and still is very resposive to question and concerns. Personable, gracous; she should be your first pick. A true expert!
Kevins rate is 375/hour. Let me just tell you, it was SO worth the money. I paid the retainer and filed all of my own evidence to avoid chipping away at it over time. I E-filed through the Odyssey portal which is avialable in washington state (highly recommend that). I literally wrote all over the documents and described what I wanted the judge to read or notice in order to minimize the work for that judge. All of my work and money paid off. WE WON! We got our daughter back! The Envision firm worked well with us and responded to any and all emails I sent them. They did most of that without charging us. The other thing is they revised the affidavits we wanted to submit and used their own law degrees to do it and create a stronger picture of who we are as a family and why the opposing party was lying and skewing evidence into their favor. I was really happy with the outcome. I think Kevin said maybe two or three things during the entire hearing which was great because the only things he asked the defendant (us) were things that mattered and showed the truth. Sometimes, less is more. Words cant describe how happy I am with their services. Kevin is very direct and not afraid to hurt feelings which is how I communicate as well. I think we worked well together in order to achieve the mission. SO SO HAPPY! THANK YOU ENVISION TEAM!
SCOTT MARLOW HAPPENED!Great move Envision Family Law! The best thing that this firm could have done, was to hire Attorney Scott Marlow. While I am certain that all of the attorneys are great at what they do, it takes a special human to alleviate the chaos and the ugly from a divorce procedure. I was married to a narcissist with money, who had an attorney without boundaries or ethics... but, I had Scott and they were not ready for him. Scott handled my ugly with compassion, kindness and most of all intelligence and backbone. Scott, thank you for your humor and your professionalism. You found a way to make me smile through the tears and you took care of all of the what ifs and now whats. When I wanted to react from anger and frustration, you responded with knowledge and class and nothing else needed to be said. I am pretty sure that they are still asking themselves, what just happened? To that I say... Scott just happened!
Helped Me Alot!
The team at Envision was very helpful and took the time to understand my specific situation. I felt that they listened to me and my concerns and helped me to navigate the system to meet my goals. I felt they also provided advice on how to do things the most efficiently so I was spending money unnecessarily. I needed assistance with an interstate custody agreement but they also discovered I needed a few more items that were previously overlooked in my divorce made part of court records. Attorney Roberts and the Bellevue team were great!
Stephanie Moist and Kimberly April were simply awesome to work with. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you need a lawyer.
I wish I could give 0 stars. This was the worst service I’ve ever gotten. I paid 395 to argue about moral issues not legal ones. They were 0 help and I will be looking else where. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO IF YOU ARE MILITARY. I showed up to my appointment early and waited 30 mins (15 after my actual appointment time) to be seen. They will simply tell you to have your unit handle it. I understand why they want the money up front. If you waited until after the appointment you wouldn’t wanna Pay them.
Kimberly April was my Attorney thruout my dealings with my ex-husband & a very rough divorce. There was a long history of DV. Kim was Absolutely Amazing from beginning to end!! I needed a Fighter & she came through for me every step of the way; I could never have done it without her!! She is well-known with a solid reputation; detail oriented, passionate, focused, thorough & tough. She was Exactly what I needed & Im so Amazingly Grateful that I found her!! Thank You :) Rhonda Thompson
We had a complicated family law case that involved native law, out of state parties, and substance abuse. There was over 100 pages of declarations, facts, findings, and background. Kevin Rundle and his legal assistant Kristin Olenick cut through to the heart of issues to keep things streamlined and focused.The entire parenting plan from start to finish took about a year and Kevin ensured the train kept pushing along despite the other party’s inability to comply to court findings or to appear.In court, Kevin carries a simple briefcase of only our parenting plan we wished to present. He never needed to shuffle through papers minutes before court to get reacquainted with our case. He dedicates himself to understand his client’s case, the arguments, and what he needs to present and never needs a reference sheet to remind him.This was a long and tiring process. Kevin was our rock throughout it all and ensured our concerns were heard by the court. We finally concluded our case with a final parenting plan that best fits our situation and with the best interest of the child in mind.Kevin will present a FAIR case with the child/ren at the forefront. He doesn’t play mothers right or fathers rights games, he plays only WHAT IS RIGHT and will keep you straight and focused on the end goal, which is presenting a clean parenting plan that best suits your family.We spent a lot of money on this case and it was worth every single penny. I can’t think of many of my friends that can say the same about their lawyers or court experiences... if you choose Kevin, you will not regret it. It is worth noting that Kevin has spent time as a part time commissioner in Pierce County, so he really knows the law and how to present your case.Thanks for being our rock Kevin, Kristen, and their bookkeeper Claudia!
My 11 year old grandson was taken by CPS three weeks ago due to incidents years prior. They stonewalled us at every turn, would not respond to our frequent calls and emails, trips into their offices, etc. We retained Jonathan on a Thursday, and he began blowing up their phones and emails immediately. His staff sprang into action preparing documents and getting them processed. By the NEXT day, a petition was filed in court, signed by the judge, and my grandson was released home to me. CPS was neglecting my grandson. If you find yourself dealing with CPS, do not delay. Jonathan Moffitt saved our family. Thank you Envision Family Law.
There are no words to describe how grateful I am for Jonathan. We had a situation with CPS where everything went completely sideways. My son came home with bruises from daycare and as a new mom, I immediately called his doctor and we were seen the following day. The physician had to call CPS which was understandable and we were sent to get a skeletal x-ray. The results of the X-ray came back stating that there was a mark on his left 7th and 8th rib but it was undeterminable and another follow up x-ray was needed. The following day, I was home with my son and 2 CPS workers and a sheriff showed up at our door and took my 6 month old son away from us. I was completely devastated and was shocked that I was being punished for doing the right thing. We had a Family Planning Meeting that Friday and they did not return my son to us because we had to be interviewed by Pierce County and a follow up x-ray needed to take place before any other decision were made. We had to sign a VPA agreement because we did not want our son to end up in the court system. After the family planning meeting, I immediately called attorneys and scheduled an appt with Jonathan the following Monday and I am so glad that I did. He met with me and listened to my story and actually knew the CPS worker that I was dealing with because he has dealt with her before. I immediately hired him on the spot and it was the best decision that I made. He came with me on short notice to my interview the next day with the detective and he was in constant contact with CPS so that I could focus on spending as much time as possible. He always answered every email, text, or phone call as soon as he could. He let me vent and complain and was so understanding of what we were going through. He actually made it so that I could go to my sons follow up x-ray appt and also, I was able to spend the night (supervised) with my son a week before he was released to us. After 3 weeks of my son being taken, he was finally released back to my care. Jonathan even took the time to come to the follow up family planning meeting when he could have joined by phone. I honestly could not have gotten through all of this without Jonathan. He is absolutely amazing!
Mr. Moffitt seems to have the wisdom of someone that has been in the field decades. There is no doubt in my mind that he is someone to keep an eye on. He is a force. His name will be known. He projects his voice in a clean but stern manner getting his point across clearly. He seems to truly care about his clients while still knowing how to be honest and play devils advocate. He has made sure that I have truly come to my conclusions before proceeding on many occasions. Though he has questioned me, I have never felt attacked or belittled. I always feel like he is just wanting a better understanding and to make sure I am not just running on emotions. He keeps me grounded. He comes to court more prepared then I would ever expect. If not for Mr. Moffitt I have no idea where I would be after 2018 literally being the most chaotic year of my life thus far. I can not imagine any reason why anyone would give Mr. Moffitt anything short of a 5 start rating. 10.0, 10 out of 10. I am honored to know him. ( and no there is no relation)
I have literally nothing nice to say about this firm.
