Jim is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. I had a serious matter in which my ex was trying to lie about me and take my daughter away. I had seen other attorneys but none of them made me feel at ease like Jim. I hired him immediately and he made a fool of her in court. I currently have every weekend with my daughter and possibly more once my case is finished. He is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him and I will keep using him for all my family legal matters.

We began the process with little hope of winning due to the circumstances. It was the hard work and vast knowledge of Mr. Soukup that in the end gave us the best possible outcome.

I used James Soukup of Soukup Law in Everett WA to represent me when my wife filed for divorce. It was a huge relief when I met him as my now ex-wife wanted to severely limit my time as a father with our 2 year old daughter. My daughter is the most important thing in the world to me and I needed to do everything possible to allow me to be a significant part of her life and to be her father. During and now that the process is over I am so glad that I found Mr. Soukup to represent me. Throughout the year for our case, he was always available for questions and reassurances. I also appreciate during this whole time he told me how it is without giving me false hopes or promises of what I might get in time with my daughter. He is not flashy, abrasive, or wanting to cause a fight, but dedicated, direct, and gets the job done. His advice never led me astray from my goal of equal time shared with our daughter, and in the end that is what I got. Mr. Soukup also made good choices when a GAL was needed as well as made a good choice in choosing a mediator. His billing was clear and easy to follow with no fees that were surprising. Although any lawyer is expensive, I feel that Mr. Soukup’s charges were fair when I compared and well worth it. I will always refer people to him that have the unfortunate experience of divorce or child custody battles. His office is also across the street from the courthouse making court appearances very simple and convenient. You will not regret using him, and I am typically pretty skeptical! Thank you so much Mr. Soukup for a lifetime with my daughter and helping me to still be the father I have always wanted to be to her!

I was divorced several years ago, but the state in which the divorce occurred did not have jurisdiction over the child custody. On the advice of another legal team in WA I filed a paternity case in order to start proceedings in WA for the establishment of a Parenting Plan. This was NOT the correct way to start this case and added a lot of complexity and difficulty to what could have been a straightforward case. It was at that point that I was referred to Mr. Soukup. He straightened out the mess I had made of the case and got me back on track, then he handled my case all the way through the trial for a final order. He kept me informed of proceedings, made suggestions on strategy and helped me keep ahead of my ex-wife's legal team. When there was a hearing (other than trial) he represented me in my absence (I live in VA), always keeping my goals in mind. When it finally came time for trial, he knew exactly what questions to ask the witnesses (myself and my ex-wife) to show the judge who was being truthful and looking out for my son's best interests. He was extremely knowledgeable, honest, and thorough. With his guidance my case went through without a hitch and I was awarded almost exactly the parenting plan that I had asked for to begin with. If I ever have to do anything to do with family law in WA again I would hire Mr. Soukup in a heartbeat.

I used another 2 attorneys before I retained James. I also consulted with a lot of attorneys regarding my divorce. James is the best. He is a very responsible, caring, knowledgeable. I went to court with James 3 times during my divorce process, and everytime I got what I wanted. The Guardian ad Litem recommended 50/50 parenting plan, some attorneys I went to see advised me that it is impossible to challenge since the GAL has good reputation but James made it happen, he got me primary custody of my daughter. I also got a lot more than what I expected on financial. I can not thank James enough.

James represented me in my divorce last year. I started with another lawyer and and extremely pleased I moved to James. His calm demeanor and experience calmed my greatest fears. In the end, I received far more than I ever expected in the settlement. James kept me informed throughout the process and responded promptly to my requests and inquires.

James has been (and is still) my family law attorney since 1991. Over the past 17 years, he has been exceptional both in and out of court. I have gone through a custody battle, an out of state addoption, a fraudulent child support controversy issue, just to name a few and James protected me and won each and every time we entered a court room. He was and is always informative and explained matters to me in a way that I could always understand. The first time I had to go to court I was not familiar with court proceedings and was apprehensive and scared. James was very supportive and was able to keep me calm and relaxed. I would and always will trust him in any legal situation and know that I can call on him at any time for competent knowledge and advise. He is also very personable and down to earth. I highly recommend James if you need a really good lawyer!!

I had seen three other attornys before meeting James and niether of them made me feel any hope or comfort as he did. James is very knowledgable of the law and how the court system views custody cases. Never did I feel left out, uninformed, or uncomfortable in my case. James helped me in a case without ever trying to degrade the other party he did this only by following the law. I'am a truckdriver and we went to court over custody of 2 teenage girls against a mother who has worked from home since they were born. We were seeking for more time spent only to recieve primary custody at the end of the case. James is a good man.

This attorney has represented me for many years. I feel like I can always call him and ask anything. He has always responded and given me the feedback I needed. I have sent friends to him for representation and they have always been happy. James Soukup is reliable, trustworthy and responsive. I cannot imagine going to anyone else for representation. I am grateful for his help over the years and always feel like I have a safety net if I need it.

James represented me in my divorce last year. I started with another lawyer and and extremely pleased I moved to James. His calm demeanor and experience calmed my greatest fears. In the end, I received far more than I ever expected in the settlement. James kept me informed throughout the process and responded promptly to my requests and inquires.

James has been (and is still) my family law attorney since 1991. Over the past 17 years, he has been exceptional both in and out of court. I have gone through a custody battle, an out of state addoption, a fraudulent child support controversy issue, just to name a few and James protected me and won each and every time we entered a court room. He was and is always informative and explained matters to me in a way that I could always understand. The first time I had to go to court I was not familiar with court proceedings and was apprehensive and scared. James was very supportive and was able to keep me calm and relaxed. I would and always will trust him in any legal situation and know that I can call on him at any time for competent knowledge and advise. He is also very personable and down to earth. I highly recommend James if you need a really good lawyer!!

I had seen three other attornys before meeting James and niether of them made me feel any hope or comfort as he did. James is very knowledgable of the law and how the court system views custody cases. Never did I feel left out, uninformed, or uncomfortable in my case. James helped me in a case without ever trying to degrade the other party he did this only by following the law. I'am a truckdriver and we went to court over custody of 2 teenage girls against a mother who has worked from home since they were born. We were seeking for more time spent only to recieve primary custody at the end of the case. James is a good man.

This attorney has represented me for many years. I feel like I can always call him and ask anything. He has always responded and given me the feedback I needed. I have sent friends to him for representation and they have always been happy. James Soukup is reliable, trustworthy and responsive. I cannot imagine going to anyone else for representation. I am grateful for his help over the years and always feel like I have a safety net if I need it.

Jim is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. I had a serious matter in which my ex was trying to lie about me and take my daughter away. I had seen other attorneys but none of them made me feel at ease like Jim. I hired him immediately and he made a fool of her in court. I currently have every weekend with my daughter and possibly more once my case is finished. He is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him and I will keep using him for all my family legal matters.

We began the process with little hope of winning due to the circumstances. It was the hard work and vast knowledge of Mr. Soukup that in the end gave us the best possible outcome.

I used James Soukup of Soukup Law in Everett WA to represent me when my wife filed for divorce. It was a huge relief when I met him as my now ex-wife wanted to severely limit my time as a father with our 2 year old daughter. My daughter is the most important thing in the world to me and I needed to do everything possible to allow me to be a significant part of her life and to be her father. During and now that the process is over I am so glad that I found Mr. Soukup to represent me. Throughout the year for our case, he was always available for questions and reassurances. I also appreciate during this whole time he told me how it is without giving me false hopes or promises of what I might get in time with my daughter. He is not flashy, abrasive, or wanting to cause a fight, but dedicated, direct, and gets the job done. His advice never led me astray from my goal of equal time shared with our daughter, and in the end that is what I got. Mr. Soukup also made good choices when a GAL was needed as well as made a good choice in choosing a mediator. His billing was clear and easy to follow with no fees that were surprising. Although any lawyer is expensive, I feel that Mr. Soukup’s charges were fair when I compared and well worth it. I will always refer people to him that have the unfortunate experience of divorce or child custody battles. His office is also across the street from the courthouse making court appearances very simple and convenient. You will not regret using him, and I am typically pretty skeptical! Thank you so much Mr. Soukup for a lifetime with my daughter and helping me to still be the father I have always wanted to be to her!

I was divorced several years ago, but the state in which the divorce occurred did not have jurisdiction over the child custody. On the advice of another legal team in WA I filed a paternity case in order to start proceedings in WA for the establishment of a Parenting Plan. This was NOT the correct way to start this case and added a lot of complexity and difficulty to what could have been a straightforward case. It was at that point that I was referred to Mr. Soukup. He straightened out the mess I had made of the case and got me back on track, then he handled my case all the way through the trial for a final order. He kept me informed of proceedings, made suggestions on strategy and helped me keep ahead of my ex-wife's legal team. When there was a hearing (other than trial) he represented me in my absence (I live in VA), always keeping my goals in mind. When it finally came time for trial, he knew exactly what questions to ask the witnesses (myself and my ex-wife) to show the judge who was being truthful and looking out for my son's best interests. He was extremely knowledgeable, honest, and thorough. With his guidance my case went through without a hitch and I was awarded almost exactly the parenting plan that I had asked for to begin with. If I ever have to do anything to do with family law in WA again I would hire Mr. Soukup in a heartbeat.

I used another 2 attorneys before I retained James. I also consulted with a lot of attorneys regarding my divorce. James is the best. He is a very responsible, caring, knowledgeable. I went to court with James 3 times during my divorce process, and everytime I got what I wanted. The Guardian ad Litem recommended 50/50 parenting plan, some attorneys I went to see advised me that it is impossible to challenge since the GAL has good reputation but James made it happen, he got me primary custody of my daughter. I also got a lot more than what I expected on financial. I can not thank James enough.

This was NOT the correct way to start this case and added a lot of complexity and difficulty to what could have been a straightforward case. It was at that point that I was referred to Mr. Soukup. He straightened out the mess I had made of the case and got me back on track, then he handled my case all the way through the trial for a final order. He kept me informed of proceedings, made suggestions on strategy and helped me keep ahead of my ex-wife's legal team. When there was a hearing (other than trial) he represented me in my absence (I live in VA), always keeping my goals in mind. When it finally came time for trial, he knew exactly what questions to ask the witnesses (myself and my ex-wife) to show the judge who was being truthful and looking out for my son's best interests. He was extremely knowledgeable, honest, and thorough. With his guidance my case went through without a hitch and I was awarded almost exactly the parenting plan that I had asked for to begin with. If I ever have to do anything to do with family law in WA again I would hire Mr. Soukup in a heartbeat.

I used another 2 attorneys before I retained James. I also consulted with a lot of attorneys regarding my divorce. James is the best. He is a very responsible, caring, knowledgeable. I went to court with James 3 times during my divorce process, and everytime I got what I wanted. The Guardian ad Litem recommended 50/50 parenting plan, some attorneys I went to see advised me that it is impossible to challenge since the GAL has good reputation but James made it happen, he got me primary custody of my daughter. I also got a lot more than what I expected on financial. I can not thank James enough.

James represented me in my divorce last year. I started with another lawyer and and extremely pleased I moved to James. His calm demeanor and experience calmed my greatest fears. In the end, I received far more than I ever expected in the settlement. James kept me informed throughout the process and responded promptly to my requests and inquires.

James has been (and is still) my family law attorney since 1991. Over the past 17 years, he has been exceptional both in and out of court. I have gone through a custody battle, an out of state addoption, a fraudulent child support controversy issue, just to name a few and James protected me and won each and every time we entered a court room. He was and is always informative and explained matters to me in a way that I could always understand. The first time I had to go to court I was not familiar with court proceedings and was apprehensive and scared. James was very supportive and was able to keep me calm and relaxed. I would and always will trust him in any legal situation and know that I can call on him at any time for competent knowledge and advise. He is also very personable and down to earth. I highly recommend James if you need a really good lawyer!!

I had seen three other attornys before meeting James and niether of them made me feel any hope or comfort as he did. James is very knowledgable of the law and how the court system views custody cases. Never did I feel left out, uninformed, or uncomfortable in my case. James helped me in a case without ever trying to degrade the other party he did this only by following the law. I'am a truckdriver and we went to court over custody of 2 teenage girls against a mother who has worked from home since they were born. We were seeking for more time spent only to recieve primary custody at the end of the case. James is a good man.

This attorney has represented me for many years. I feel like I can always call him and ask anything. He has always responded and given me the feedback I needed. I have sent friends to him for representation and they have always been happy. James Soukup is reliable, trustworthy and responsive. I cannot imagine going to anyone else for representation. I am grateful for his help over the years and always feel like I have a safety net if I need it.

Jim is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. I had a serious matter in which my ex was trying to lie about me and take my daughter away. I had seen other attorneys but none of them made me feel at ease like Jim. I hired him immediately and he made a fool of her in court. I currently have every weekend with my daughter and possibly more once my case is finished. He is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him and I will keep using him for all my family legal matters.

I used James Soukup of Soukup Law in Everett WA to represent me when my wife filed for divorce. It was a huge relief when I met him as my now ex-wife wanted to severely limit my time as a father with our 2 year old daughter. My daughter is the most important thing in the world to me and I needed to do everything possible to allow me to be a significant part of her life and to be her father. During and now that the process is over I am so glad that I found Mr. Soukup to represent me. Throughout the year for our case, he was always available for questions and reassurances. I also appreciate during this whole time he told me how it is without giving me false hopes or promises of what I might get in time with my daughter. He is not flashy, abrasive, or wanting to cause a fight, but dedicated, direct, and gets the job done. His advice never led me astray from my goal of equal time shared with our daughter, and in the end that is what I got. Mr. Soukup also made good choices when a GAL was needed as well as made a good choice in choosing a mediator. His billing was clear and easy to follow with no fees that were surprising. Although any lawyer is expensive, I feel that Mr. Soukup’s charges were fair when I compared and well worth it. I will always refer people to him that have the unfortunate experience of divorce or child custody battles. His office is also across the street from the courthouse making court appearances very simple and convenient. You will not regret using him, and I am typically pretty skeptical! Thank you so much Mr. Soukup for a lifetime with my daughter and helping me to still be the father I have always wanted to be to her!

I used James Soukup of Soukup Law in Everett WA to represent me when my wife filed for divorce. It was a huge relief when I met him as my now ex-wife wanted to severely limit my time as a father with our 2 year old daughter. My daughter is the most important thing in the world to me and I needed to do everything possible to allow me to be a significant part of her life and to be her father. During and now that the process is over I am so glad that I found Mr. Soukup to represent me. Throughout the year for our case, he was always available for questions and reassurances. I also appreciate during this whole time he told me how it is without giving me false hopes or promises of what I might get in time with my daughter. He is not flashy, abrasive, or wanting to cause a fight, but dedicated, direct, and gets the job done. His advice never led me astray from my goal of equal time shared with our daughter, and in the end that is what I got. Mr. Soukup also made good choices when a GAL was needed as well as made a good choice in choosing a mediator. His billing was clear and easy to follow with no fees that were surprising. Although any lawyer is expensive, I feel that Mr. Soukup’s charges were fair when I compared and well worth it. I will always refer people to him that have the unfortunate experience of divorce or child custody battles. His office is also across the street from the courthouse making court appearances very simple and convenient. You will not regret using him, and I am typically pretty skeptical! Thank you so much Mr. Soukup for a lifetime with my daughter and helping me to still be the father I have always wanted to be to her!

I was divorced several years ago, but the state in which the divorce occurred did not have jurisdiction over the child custody. On the advice of another legal team in WA I filed a paternity case in order to start proceedings in WA for the establishment of a Parenting Plan. This was NOT the correct way to start this case and added a lot of complexity and difficulty to what could have been a straightforward case. It was at that point that I was referred to Mr. Soukup. He straightened out the mess I had made of the case and got me back on track, then he handled my case all the way through the trial for a final order. He kept me informed of proceedings, made suggestions on strategy and helped me keep ahead of my ex-wife's legal team. When there was a hearing (other than trial) he represented me in my absence (I live in VA), always keeping my goals in mind. When it finally came time for trial, he knew exactly what questions to ask the witnesses (myself and my ex-wife) to show the judge who was being truthful and looking out for my son's best interests. He was extremely knowledgeable, honest, and thorough. With his guidance my case went through without a hitch and I was awarded almost exactly the parenting plan that I had asked for to begin with. If I ever have to do anything to do with family law in WA again I would hire Mr. Soukup in a heartbeat.

I used another 2 attorneys before I retained James. I also consulted with a lot of attorneys regarding my divorce. James is the best. He is a very responsible, caring, knowledgeable. I went to court with James 3 times during my divorce process, and everytime I got what I wanted. The Guardian ad Litem recommended 50/50 parenting plan, some attorneys I went to see advised me that it is impossible to challenge since the GAL has good reputation but James made it happen, he got me primary custody of my daughter. I also got a lot more than what I expected on financial. I can not thank James enough.

James represented me in my divorce last year. I started with another lawyer and and extremely pleased I moved to James. His calm demeanor and experience calmed my greatest fears. In the end, I received far more than I ever expected in the settlement. James kept me informed throughout the process and responded promptly to my requests and inquires.

James has been (and is still) my family law attorney since 1991. Over the past 17 years, he has been exceptional both in and out of court. I have gone through a custody battle, an out of state addoption, a fraudulent child support controversy issue, just to name a few and James protected me and won each and every time we entered a court room. He was and is always informative and explained matters to me in a way that I could always understand. The first time I had to go to court I was not familiar with court proceedings and was apprehensive and scared. James was very supportive and was able to keep me calm and relaxed. I would and always will trust him in any legal situation and know that I can call on him at any time for competent knowledge and advise. He is also very personable and down to earth. I highly recommend James if you need a really good lawyer!!

I had seen three other attornys before meeting James and niether of them made me feel any hope or comfort as he did. James is very knowledgable of the law and how the court system views custody cases. Never did I feel left out, uninformed, or uncomfortable in my case. James helped me in a case without ever trying to degrade the other party he did this only by following the law. I'am a truckdriver and we went to court over custody of 2 teenage girls against a mother who has worked from home since they were born. We were seeking for more time spent only to recieve primary custody at the end of the case. James is a good man.

This attorney has represented me for many years. I feel like I can always call him and ask anything. He has always responded and given me the feedback I needed. I have sent friends to him for representation and they have always been happy. James Soukup is reliable, trustworthy and responsive. I cannot imagine going to anyone else for representation. I am grateful for his help over the years and always feel like I have a safety net if I need it.

Jim is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. I had a serious matter in which my ex was trying to lie about me and take my daughter away. I had seen other attorneys but none of them made me feel at ease like Jim. I hired him immediately and he made a fool of her in court. I currently have every weekend with my daughter and possibly more once my case is finished. He is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him and I will keep using him for all my family legal matters.
