About

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1984, where I was the the Editor in Chief of the International Law Review.  After practicing general civil litigation, particularly plaintiff's personal injury work and family law, I moved to Seattle in 1987.  I worked as an associate attorney at Williams Kastner & Gibbs for two years, doing defense work in product liability cases. I returned to a smaller office, missing personal client contact. Over the years, I specialized in family law, including a successful third party custody case that was upheld by the Washington Supreme Court in 2005.  I continued handling plaintiff's personal injury cases, along with some probate and other civil cases.  For many years, I was an arbitrator for the King County Mandatory Arbitration program.   I completed Mediation Training at the University of Washington in 1994.  I partipated as a co-mediator with Family Court Services in a one-year program.  I have been a volunteer mediatior for the Family Law Volunteer Settlement Conference Program for many years, mediating three family law cases per year.  In addition to acting as a mediator, I represent clients in mediations or advise them as they mediate directly with their spouse, without lawyers participating.  I also draft final orders for one spouse, based upon mediation agreements or agreements made by spouses on their own.  I believe that parties should make their own informed decisions whenever possible.  I provide unbundled legal services to provide limited services as requested by my client.Volunteering has been an ongoing part of my practice.  I have worked in a neighborhood legal clinic, briefly at the King County Dispute Resolution Center, and on the Status Conference Calendar at the King County Courthouse.  I have twice received the Random Acts of Kindness Award from King County Superior Court.  When funding for King County Services was at risk, I testified before the King County Council. I provide services at a reduced rate through the CLC program (offered by some employers) and at times for clients as I guide them to self-help methods. Since completing Collaborative Law training in 2008, I have been interested in working collaboratively with other professionals in suitable cases.  I am a member of Compass Pod and the West Seattle Collaborative Pod; each is a group of collaboratively trained professionals.  We are actively seeking ways to inform the public about the collaborative option to resolving disputes.  For several years, I was volunteer presenter at the Second Saturday divorce workshops presented by the West Seattle Pod at Highline College.  I am a member of King County Collaborative Law (KCCL), Collaborative Professionals of Washington (CPW), and the International Association of Colllaborative Professionals (IACP). I believe in the benefits of collaborative practice and also in cooperatively resolving cases when possible, but I go to court when that's the best option. Two of my passions are running and yoga.  In years past, I have run several marathons and relay runs.  I enjoy hiking and camping.  I also have fun singing in a choir.  Outlets for stress are important for lawyers and clients, alike.

What do you need in a divorce attorney? That certainly depends on your intended outcome, but in my case, I found in Laura Sutkus someone that shared and supported my human values (fair, respectful and honorable) and idea of how to end a 20-year marriage with kids. Although my divorce was nothing as I had hoped – a swift and cooperative ending to our marriage – instead I faced a long, cruel and dishonest divorce process that almost ended in a trial. Laura agreed to represent me, even after learning who my wife’s lawyer was (four others turned me down). Always to-the-point, practical in her approach, and efficient in her decisions, we stuck together for almost two long years, working through exaggerated and inaccurate (lies) claims, and confounded stories and representations of my kids and their health . She showed me how to be balanced and pragmatic in my decision making and reaction to the ‘crazy’. My divorce was not at all what I expected or could have imagined, but Sutkus Law kept me moving forward and ensured that, in the end, I settled/mediated in a position that was comfortable and right for me. As I reflect on my almost two-year process, I recall some traits of her that are easily overlooked during such an emotional period – attentive and able to recall every detail, understands family law inside and out, and maintains a strength and respectfulness even through the nastiness. When needed, she has excellent resources to restore or redirect an issue (i.e., QDROs and State PERS, fair sharing of child expenses). Thank you for maintaining my/our respectful approach through this difficult period.

Laura provided me with sound, competent legal advice during my divorce proceedings that helped the process run as smoothly as possible; this helped avoid unnecessary conflict, time, and was in the best interest of the children involved. I would totally recommend!

Laura Sutkus represented me through a very difficult contested divorce. While my spouse chose to change attorneys multiple times, I stayed the course with Laura. From the very beginning, she gave excellent legal advice and support. I came to her office terrified, and she gave me the tools I needed to even get started, including a book on how to respond to high conflict people. Month by month, my knowledge and strength increased and even I am surprised we have successfully resolved everything! In every phase of my divorce, there were delays and issues out of our control, but Laura managed them with ease. She is professional, meticulous and knows family law like the back of her hand. She will fight fairly and honestly for you and your children. I was so impressed in how she handled getting a parenting plan figured out, when everyone else (including the other attorney) seemed to falter. I would highly recommend working with Laura Sutkus. Our family is thriving now and she has given me the strength and freedom to move on to independence. I will be forever thankful to Laura for her role in this process.

I was facing a very difficult divorce process and was referred to Laura Sutkus by a fellow attorney that spoke very highly of her. His referral was spot on. After an initial consultation, I was confident that Laura was the right attorney for me. She initially took me on as a pro se client through temporary orders and then represented me in mediation. My case involved a contentious division of assets as well as custody decisions. Laura was extremely well-versed in these areas and made me confident in her abilities. She was thorough, meticulous, detail-oriented, compassionate and thoughtful in her approach. She was on top of my case at all times, was very responsive and was well-prepared when defending my position. She’s extremely knowledgeable in family law, very articulate, and maintained a calm disposition throughout my challenging situation. She also has a great sense of humor, which I found refreshing. I would highly recommend Laura Sutkus.

I had a fantastic experience using LLLT Fabian Fereshtehfar and Laura Sutkus. I had limited means to go through a divorce and this was a great solution. My spouse was willing to negotiate with me and do an amicable divorce. This process would only work if that is the case. I negotiated and wrote up the initial paperwork, then I met with Fabian and we went over what worked and what didn't and exactly how the paperwork should read. I filed the initial paperwork and we met several times to get everything right. Laura oversaw everything. My husband and I went to court by ourselves and got the divorce. We are still working out the QUADRO but Fabian is handling that paperwork for me. If both parties can come to agreements on their own, (I wanted this divorce, so I did need to make some concessions to my spouse that maybe I would not have made in a conventional divorce, but overall remember fair and equitable.) this is the way to go. Also, we have children and we were able to work out all the logistics on that as well. We would never have been able to do this divorce in a contested way. We just did not have the funds. I would highly recommend Fabian and Laura. They are both professional and extremely helpful. There are other ways to go through a divorce if you are willing to do the work, negotiations, paperwork and filing the paperwork yourself. I am so much happier. It also helped that I had taken a class about divorce at a community college. Fabian and Laura helped me change my life. They can help you change yours for the better.

Sutkus Law Firm helped with my divorce case, which at times ended in very different direction/decisions then I would have presumed, but for the most part, I was pleased with. Both Laura and Fabian were very knowledgeable, efficient, and honest. I was thoroughly impressed throughout my experience and would recommend this office to family and friends.

Laura Sutkus provided me with great representation through a lengthy and contentious divorce. She started out advising me as a pro se client, and then when my case failed to reach a settlement, she represented me through several rounds of mediation and arbitration. She and her paralegal are communicative, proactive, knowledgable, and fair. She also has a great sense of humor. I recommend her strongly.

Thank goodness I had Laura as my attorney! You see I just finished my divorce after 18 months, several trips to court, mediation, arbitration, the works. My wife had threatened me that she would take me to court, try to get 100% custody of our child and make it miserable on me if I tried to divorce her. Laura was on top of my case every step of the way and she kept me reassured. She made the process a lot less intimidating. Laura's strategy led to a 50/50 residential schedule 50%! That was my number 1 priority and Laura made it happen. My daughter and I thank you Laura! She is fantastic and I highly recommend her!

Laura helped me with a Protection Order that was complicated and needed to be processed very fast. She was super. Laura is very fast at doing what she does, she is very matter of fact (i.e. no bs), very personable and very effective. She was always very sensitive of our budget and continously suggested ideas by which we could avoid costs etc e.g. by filling forms ourselves etc. We had worked with other attorneys before and didn't make much progress - Laura had it all wrapped up in a matter of days. Would definitely use her again.

Always to-the-point, practical in her approach, and efficient in her decisions, we stuck together for almost two long years, working through exaggerated and inaccurate (lies) claims, and confounded stories and representations of my kids and their health . She showed me how to be balanced and pragmatic in my decision making and reaction to the ‘crazy’. My divorce was not at all what I expected or could have imagined, but Sutkus Law kept me moving forward and ensured that, in the end, I settled/mediated in a position that was comfortable and right for me. As I reflect on my almost two-year process, I recall some traits of her that are easily overlooked during such an emotional period – attentive and able to recall every detail, understands family law inside and out, and maintains a strength and respectfulness even through the nastiness. When needed, she has excellent resources to restore or redirect an issue (i.e., QDROs and State PERS, fair sharing of child expenses). Thank you for maintaining my/our respectful approach through this difficult period.

Laura provided me with sound, competent legal advice during my divorce proceedings that helped the process run as smoothly as possible; this helped avoid unnecessary conflict, time, and was in the best interest of the children involved. I would totally recommend!

Laura Sutkus represented me through a very difficult contested divorce. While my spouse chose to change attorneys multiple times, I stayed the course with Laura. From the very beginning, she gave excellent legal advice and support. I came to her office terrified, and she gave me the tools I needed to even get started, including a book on how to respond to high conflict people. Month by month, my knowledge and strength increased and even I am surprised we have successfully resolved everything! In every phase of my divorce, there were delays and issues out of our control, but Laura managed them with ease. She is professional, meticulous and knows family law like the back of her hand. She will fight fairly and honestly for you and your children. I was so impressed in how she handled getting a parenting plan figured out, when everyone else (including the other attorney) seemed to falter. I would highly recommend working with Laura Sutkus. Our family is thriving now and she has given me the strength and freedom to move on to independence. I will be forever thankful to Laura for her role in this process.

I was facing a very difficult divorce process and was referred to Laura Sutkus by a fellow attorney that spoke very highly of her. His referral was spot on. After an initial consultation, I was confident that Laura was the right attorney for me. She initially took me on as a pro se client through temporary orders and then represented me in mediation. My case involved a contentious division of assets as well as custody decisions. Laura was extremely well-versed in these areas and made me confident in her abilities. She was thorough, meticulous, detail-oriented, compassionate and thoughtful in her approach. She was on top of my case at all times, was very responsive and was well-prepared when defending my position. She’s extremely knowledgeable in family law, very articulate, and maintained a calm disposition throughout my challenging situation. She also has a great sense of humor, which I found refreshing. I would highly recommend Laura Sutkus.

I had a fantastic experience using LLLT Fabian Fereshtehfar and Laura Sutkus. I had limited means to go through a divorce and this was a great solution. My spouse was willing to negotiate with me and do an amicable divorce. This process would only work if that is the case. I negotiated and wrote up the initial paperwork, then I met with Fabian and we went over what worked and what didn't and exactly how the paperwork should read. I filed the initial paperwork and we met several times to get everything right. Laura oversaw everything. My husband and I went to court by ourselves and got the divorce. We are still working out the QUADRO but Fabian is handling that paperwork for me. If both parties can come to agreements on their own, (I wanted this divorce, so I did need to make some concessions to my spouse that maybe I would not have made in a conventional divorce, but overall remember fair and equitable.) this is the way to go. Also, we have children and we were able to work out all the logistics on that as well. We would never have been able to do this divorce in a contested way. We just did not have the funds. I would highly recommend Fabian and Laura. They are both professional and extremely helpful. There are other ways to go through a divorce if you are willing to do the work, negotiations, paperwork and filing the paperwork yourself. I am so much happier. It also helped that I had taken a class about divorce at a community college. Fabian and Laura helped me change my life. They can help you change yours for the better.

Sutkus Law Firm helped with my divorce case, which at times ended in very different direction/decisions then I would have presumed, but for the most part, I was pleased with. Both Laura and Fabian were very knowledgeable, efficient, and honest. I was thoroughly impressed throughout my experience and would recommend this office to family and friends.

Laura Sutkus provided me with great representation through a lengthy and contentious divorce. She started out advising me as a pro se client, and then when my case failed to reach a settlement, she represented me through several rounds of mediation and arbitration. She and her paralegal are communicative, proactive, knowledgable, and fair. She also has a great sense of humor. I recommend her strongly.

Thank goodness I had Laura as my attorney! You see I just finished my divorce after 18 months, several trips to court, mediation, arbitration, the works. My wife had threatened me that she would take me to court, try to get 100% custody of our child and make it miserable on me if I tried to divorce her. Laura was on top of my case every step of the way and she kept me reassured. She made the process a lot less intimidating. Laura's strategy led to a 50/50 residential schedule 50%! That was my number 1 priority and Laura made it happen. My daughter and I thank you Laura! She is fantastic and I highly recommend her!

Laura helped me with a Protection Order that was complicated and needed to be processed very fast. She was super. Laura is very fast at doing what she does, she is very matter of fact (i.e. no bs), very personable and very effective. She was always very sensitive of our budget and continously suggested ideas by which we could avoid costs etc e.g. by filling forms ourselves etc. We had worked with other attorneys before and didn't make much progress - Laura had it all wrapped up in a matter of days. Would definitely use her again.

What do you need in a divorce attorney? That certainly depends on your intended outcome, but in my case, I found in Laura Sutkus someone that shared and supported my human values (fair, respectful and honorable) and idea of how to end a 20-year marriage with kids. Although my divorce was nothing as I had hoped – a swift and cooperative ending to our marriage – instead I faced a long, cruel and dishonest divorce process that almost ended in a trial.

I filed the initial paperwork and we met several times to get everything right. Laura oversaw everything. My husband and I went to court by ourselves and got the divorce. We are still working out the QUADRO but Fabian is handling that paperwork for me. If both parties can come to agreements on their own, (I wanted this divorce, so I did need to make some concessions to my spouse that maybe I would not have made in a conventional divorce, but overall remember fair and equitable.) this is the way to go. Also, we have children and we were able to work out all the logistics on that as well. We would never have been able to do this divorce in a contested way. We just did not have the funds. I would highly recommend Fabian and Laura. They are both professional and extremely helpful. There are other ways to go through a divorce if you are willing to do the work, negotiations, paperwork and filing the paperwork yourself. I am so much happier. It also helped that I had taken a class about divorce at a community college. Fabian and Laura helped me change my life. They can help you change yours for the better.

Sutkus Law Firm helped with my divorce case, which at times ended in very different direction/decisions then I would have presumed, but for the most part, I was pleased with. Both Laura and Fabian were very knowledgeable, efficient, and honest. I was thoroughly impressed throughout my experience and would recommend this office to family and friends.

Laura Sutkus provided me with great representation through a lengthy and contentious divorce. She started out advising me as a pro se client, and then when my case failed to reach a settlement, she represented me through several rounds of mediation and arbitration. She and her paralegal are communicative, proactive, knowledgable, and fair. She also has a great sense of humor. I recommend her strongly.

Thank goodness I had Laura as my attorney! You see I just finished my divorce after 18 months, several trips to court, mediation, arbitration, the works. My wife had threatened me that she would take me to court, try to get 100% custody of our child and make it miserable on me if I tried to divorce her. Laura was on top of my case every step of the way and she kept me reassured. She made the process a lot less intimidating. Laura's strategy led to a 50/50 residential schedule 50%! That was my number 1 priority and Laura made it happen. My daughter and I thank you Laura! She is fantastic and I highly recommend her!

Laura is an extremely knowledgeable lawyer whose help was invaluable to me in my divorce. She was always available to answer questions, gave great suggestions and was compassionate and empathetic. I would highly recommend her.

Laura helped me with a Protection Order that was complicated and needed to be processed very fast. She was super. Laura is very fast at doing what she does, she is very matter of fact (i.e. no bs), very personable and very effective. She was always very sensitive of our budget and continously suggested ideas by which we could avoid costs etc e.g. by filling forms ourselves etc. We had worked with other attorneys before and didn't make much progress - Laura had it all wrapped up in a matter of days. Would definitely use her again.

What do you need in a divorce attorney? That certainly depends on your intended outcome, but in my case, I found in Laura Sutkus someone that shared and supported my human values (fair, respectful and honorable) and idea of how to end a 20-year marriage with kids. Although my divorce was nothing as I had hoped – a swift and cooperative ending to our marriage – instead I faced a long, cruel and dishonest divorce process that almost ended in a trial. Laura agreed to represent me, even after learning who my wife’s lawyer was (four others turned me down). Always to-the-point, practical in her approach, and efficient in her decisions, we stuck together for almost two long years, working through exaggerated and inaccurate (lies) claims, and confounded stories and representations of my kids and their health . She showed me how to be balanced and pragmatic in my decision making and reaction to the ‘crazy’. My divorce was not at all what I expected or could have imagined, but Sutkus Law kept me moving forward and ensured that, in the end, I settled/mediated in a position that was comfortable and right for me. As I reflect on my almost two-year process, I recall some traits of her that are easily overlooked during such an emotional period – attentive and able to recall every detail, understands family law inside and out, and maintains a strength and respectfulness even through the nastiness. When needed, she has excellent resources to restore or redirect an issue (i.e., QDROs and State PERS, fair sharing of child expenses). Thank you for maintaining my/our respectful approach through this difficult period.

Laura provided me with sound, competent legal advice during my divorce proceedings that helped the process run as smoothly as possible; this helped avoid unnecessary conflict, time, and was in the best interest of the children involved. I would totally recommend!

Laura Sutkus represented me through a very difficult contested divorce. While my spouse chose to change attorneys multiple times, I stayed the course with Laura. From the very beginning, she gave excellent legal advice and support. I came to her office terrified, and she gave me the tools I needed to even get started, including a book on how to respond to high conflict people. Month by month, my knowledge and strength increased and even I am surprised we have successfully resolved everything! In every phase of my divorce, there were delays and issues out of our control, but Laura managed them with ease. She is professional, meticulous and knows family law like the back of her hand. She will fight fairly and honestly for you and your children. I was so impressed in how she handled getting a parenting plan figured out, when everyone else (including the other attorney) seemed to falter. I would highly recommend working with Laura Sutkus. Our family is thriving now and she has given me the strength and freedom to move on to independence. I will be forever thankful to Laura for her role in this process.

I was facing a very difficult divorce process and was referred to Laura Sutkus by a fellow attorney that spoke very highly of her. His referral was spot on. After an initial consultation, I was confident that Laura was the right attorney for me. She initially took me on as a pro se client through temporary orders and then represented me in mediation. My case involved a contentious division of assets as well as custody decisions. Laura was extremely well-versed in these areas and made me confident in her abilities. She was thorough, meticulous, detail-oriented, compassionate and thoughtful in her approach. She was on top of my case at all times, was very responsive and was well-prepared when defending my position. She’s extremely knowledgeable in family law, very articulate, and maintained a calm disposition throughout my challenging situation. She also has a great sense of humor, which I found refreshing. I would highly recommend Laura Sutkus.

Although my divorce was nothing as I had hoped – a swift and cooperative ending to our marriage – instead I faced a long, cruel and dishonest divorce process that almost ended in a trial. Laura agreed to represent me, even after learning who my wife’s lawyer was (four others turned me down). Always to-the-point, practical in her approach, and efficient in her decisions, we stuck together for almost two long years, working through exaggerated and inaccurate (lies) claims, and confounded stories and representations of my kids and their health . She showed me how to be balanced and pragmatic in my decision making and reaction to the ‘crazy’. My divorce was not at all what I expected or could have imagined, but Sutkus Law kept me moving forward and ensured that, in the end, I settled/mediated in a position that was comfortable and right for me. As I reflect on my almost two-year process, I recall some traits of her that are easily overlooked during such an emotional period – attentive and able to recall every detail, understands family law inside and out, and maintains a strength and respectfulness even through the nastiness. When needed, she has excellent resources to restore or redirect an issue (i.e., QDROs and State PERS, fair sharing of child expenses). Thank you for maintaining my/our respectful approach through this difficult period.

Laura provided me with sound, competent legal advice during my divorce proceedings that helped the process run as smoothly as possible; this helped avoid unnecessary conflict, time, and was in the best interest of the children involved. I would totally recommend!

Laura Sutkus represented me through a very difficult contested divorce. While my spouse chose to change attorneys multiple times, I stayed the course with Laura. From the very beginning, she gave excellent legal advice and support. I came to her office terrified, and she gave me the tools I needed to even get started, including a book on how to respond to high conflict people. Month by month, my knowledge and strength increased and even I am surprised we have successfully resolved everything! In every phase of my divorce, there were delays and issues out of our control, but Laura managed them with ease. She is professional, meticulous and knows family law like the back of her hand. She will fight fairly and honestly for you and your children. I was so impressed in how she handled getting a parenting plan figured out, when everyone else (including the other attorney) seemed to falter. I would highly recommend working with Laura Sutkus. Our family is thriving now and she has given me the strength and freedom to move on to independence. I will be forever thankful to Laura for her role in this process.

I was facing a very difficult divorce process and was referred to Laura Sutkus by a fellow attorney that spoke very highly of her. His referral was spot on. After an initial consultation, I was confident that Laura was the right attorney for me. She initially took me on as a pro se client through temporary orders and then represented me in mediation. My case involved a contentious division of assets as well as custody decisions. Laura was extremely well-versed in these areas and made me confident in her abilities. She was thorough, meticulous, detail-oriented, compassionate and thoughtful in her approach. She was on top of my case at all times, was very responsive and was well-prepared when defending my position. She’s extremely knowledgeable in family law, very articulate, and maintained a calm disposition throughout my challenging situation. She also has a great sense of humor, which I found refreshing. I would highly recommend Laura Sutkus.

I had a fantastic experience using LLLT Fabian Fereshtehfar and Laura Sutkus. I had limited means to go through a divorce and this was a great solution. My spouse was willing to negotiate with me and do an amicable divorce. This process would only work if that is the case. I negotiated and wrote up the initial paperwork, then I met with Fabian and we went over what worked and what didn't and exactly how the paperwork should read. I filed the initial paperwork and we met several times to get everything right. Laura oversaw everything. My husband and I went to court by ourselves and got the divorce. We are still working out the QUADRO but Fabian is handling that paperwork for me. If both parties can come to agreements on their own, (I wanted this divorce, so I did need to make some concessions to my spouse that maybe I would not have made in a conventional divorce, but overall remember fair and equitable.) this is the way to go. Also, we have children and we were able to work out all the logistics on that as well. We would never have been able to do this divorce in a contested way. We just did not have the funds. I would highly recommend Fabian and Laura. They are both professional and extremely helpful. There are other ways to go through a divorce if you are willing to do the work, negotiations, paperwork and filing the paperwork yourself. I am so much happier. It also helped that I had taken a class about divorce at a community college. Fabian and Laura helped me change my life. They can help you change yours for the better.

Sutkus Law Firm helped with my divorce case, which at times ended in very different direction/decisions then I would have presumed, but for the most part, I was pleased with. Both Laura and Fabian were very knowledgeable, efficient, and honest. I was thoroughly impressed throughout my experience and would recommend this office to family and friends.

Laura Sutkus provided me with great representation through a lengthy and contentious divorce. She started out advising me as a pro se client, and then when my case failed to reach a settlement, she represented me through several rounds of mediation and arbitration. She and her paralegal are communicative, proactive, knowledgable, and fair. She also has a great sense of humor. I recommend her strongly.

Thank goodness I had Laura as my attorney! You see I just finished my divorce after 18 months, several trips to court, mediation, arbitration, the works. My wife had threatened me that she would take me to court, try to get 100% custody of our child and make it miserable on me if I tried to divorce her. Laura was on top of my case every step of the way and she kept me reassured. She made the process a lot less intimidating. Laura's strategy led to a 50/50 residential schedule 50%! That was my number 1 priority and Laura made it happen. My daughter and I thank you Laura! She is fantastic and I highly recommend her!

Laura is an extremely knowledgeable lawyer whose help was invaluable to me in my divorce. She was always available to answer questions, gave great suggestions and was compassionate and empathetic. I would highly recommend her.

Laura helped me with a Protection Order that was complicated and needed to be processed very fast. She was super. Laura is very fast at doing what she does, she is very matter of fact (i.e. no bs), very personable and very effective. She was always very sensitive of our budget and continously suggested ideas by which we could avoid costs etc e.g. by filling forms ourselves etc. We had worked with other attorneys before and didn't make much progress - Laura had it all wrapped up in a matter of days. Would definitely use her again.
