About

One of the states in which I am admitted licenses me not only as an attorney but also a “Counsellor at Law”. I best counsel my clients as a supportive but calm buffer during their time of stress and emotion. With over 40 years in practice, I can clarify what seem to be incomprehensible procedures and legal gibberish to my clients, and explain how their facts fit into the legal factors the court weighs in deciding the issues. If safety is not an overriding concern, I believe my client’s best interests (both emotional and financial) are served by negotiating agreed orders when possible, minimizing the mudslinging common in contested hearings. When hearings are necessary, my background as an accomplished debater, and writing skills derived as a legal writing instructor and Harvard English major, both help persuade the court. In addition to full representation, I also offer hourly advice / drafting ("unbundled") legal services to individuals representing themselves. When the parties have their own attorneys but are unable to reach agreement, I have also served as mediator in settlement conferences since 1997. Life is not all work, though. In my free time, I like digital photography, paddling a kayak, hiking, squash, tennis, cross-country skiing --- and playing Wii tennis, baseball, and bowling. Finally, I love tasty food and drink enjoyed with my wife and other good friends. Favorite quote (from the late Judge McCutcheon, during a trial several years ago): “There’s still room in the law for common sense.”

Simply the best! I cannot say enough about this firm. I had a very high profile and high level divorce. The service, compassion and discretion I received is more than 5*. Mark Alexander may be the best kept, hidden gem, best family attorney in all of Seattle. Thank you seattle divorce and Mark!

Mark helped me years ago with my initial divorce as well as with a more recent parenting plan modification initiated by my ex. Our case was by no means collaborative or friendly. A saving grace for the emotional tumult of family court is a calm and knowledgeable attorney. Mark is that and then some. He deescalated issues with the opposing party many times, guided me in non-emotional communications with my ex, and helped us, finally, to settle out of court. I definitely recommend Mark, hands down.

But in our case only the salary of my husband ex-wife is $25,000 a year, but along with her new husband they make $102,000 the same as my husband and I together. But she claims in the papers court she only make $25.000 wage it. How does this work? The judge only calculates the salary ex-wife or the judge calculates the salary of her along with her husband? And she ask for my husband to pay 85% and she 15%. How that''s work??? We are going to look for a good lawyer to help us. we want to pay for the college or preference communite college for the fist 2 years, but we don't want pay alone, we still have 3 more kids that will be at college in 1 year. What we do??

Going thru divorce is a most difficult time. It was for me. Having an experienced lawyer is very critical. Mark was my lawyer and I could not be more fortunate to have him. He did not escalate the dispute. He maintained his steady position and responded well to the accusations. He is very professional and keeps you well informed. He discusses the matter and issues with his client and provides advice. Mark is very efficient in correspondence and very organized. He checks all the information to ensure they are factual. Mark is an exceptional lawyer if you are looking for one to protect your right.

Mark Alexander represented me in my recent dissolution. I had a negative experience with an incompetent attorney prior to being referred to Mr. Alexander, so it was a relief to meet with someone so professional. I knew right away that he had the expertise to help me. Mr. Alexander’s creative problem solving methods are invaluable in situations where emotions run high and people tend to behave erratically. No matter what problematic situation arose, I knew that Mr. Alexander would have a logical answer to my questions and a strategy to bring closure to the situation. Mr. Alexander is caring, compassion and gentle in spirit when dealing with his clients who have had their lives turned upside down. He is extremely prompt in his responses to emails and phone calls. I couldn’t have asked for anyone more qualified or more knowledgeable to represent me.

Mark Alexander represented me in a particularly difficult and acrimonious divorce complicated by property ownership in several states and my residence in Asia. The matter was further strained by my wife’s attorney’s provocative language and insistence on citing irrelevant issues. Throughout this process, Mr. Alexander was dignified, calm, insightful, articulate and thoroughly knowledgeable of laws and statutes with which he deftly countered the other attorney’s hyperbole and repeated demands for a trial. The final settlement which he negotiated for me was equitable and ended in a judgment more favorable than I had anticipated. I recommend Mr. Alexander and his prompt and efficient staff without reservation.

My ex and I used Mark twice, once to mediate our divorce and again later to address changes requested. I found him to be unreliable to interpret the actual law and mostly interested using a shallow emotional approach. If a point made by one party sounds 'good' or sounds politically correct, he seems to accept that without taking a deeper look at whether his decisions are actually fair and tenable. He went back on his own language from the first mediation to the later mediation when my ex asked, despite his own clause in the parenting plan to avoid so. Very disappointing.

Mark Alexander represented me in my recent dissolution. I had a negative experience with an incompetent attorney prior to being referred to Mr. Alexander, so it was a relief to meet with someone so professional. I knew right away that he had the expertise to help me. Mr. Alexander’s creative problem solving methods are invaluable in situations where emotions run high and people tend to behave erratically. No matter what problematic situation arose, I knew that Mr. Alexander would have a logical answer to my questions and a strategy to bring closure to the situation. Mr. Alexander is caring, compassion and gentle in spirit when dealing with his clients who have had their lives turned upside down. He is extremely prompt in his responses to emails and phone calls. I couldn’t have asked for anyone more qualified or more knowledgeable to represent me.

Mark Alexander represented me in a particularly difficult and acrimonious divorce complicated by property ownership in several states and my residence in Asia. The matter was further strained by my wife’s attorney’s provocative language and insistence on citing irrelevant issues. Throughout this process, Mr. Alexander was dignified, calm, insightful, articulate and thoroughly knowledgeable of laws and statutes with which he deftly countered the other attorney’s hyperbole and repeated demands for a trial. The final settlement which he negotiated for me was equitable and ended in a judgment more favorable than I had anticipated. I recommend Mr. Alexander and his prompt and efficient staff without reservation.

My ex and I used Mark twice, once to mediate our divorce and again later to address changes requested. I found him to be unreliable to interpret the actual law and mostly interested using a shallow emotional approach. If a point made by one party sounds 'good' or sounds politically correct, he seems to accept that without taking a deeper look at whether his decisions are actually fair and tenable. He went back on his own language from the first mediation to the later mediation when my ex asked, despite his own clause in the parenting plan to avoid so. Very disappointing.

Mark helped me years ago with my initial divorce as well as with a more recent parenting plan modification initiated by my ex. Our case was by no means collaborative or friendly. A saving grace for the emotional tumult of family court is a calm and knowledgeable attorney. Mark is that and then some. He deescalated issues with the opposing party many times, guided me in non-emotional communications with my ex, and helped us, finally, to settle out of court. I definitely recommend Mark, hands down.

But in our case only the salary of my husband ex-wife is $25,000 a year, but along with her new husband they make $102,000 the same as my husband and I together. But she claims in the papers court she only make $25.000 wage it. How does this work? The judge only calculates the salary ex-wife or the judge calculates the salary of her along with her husband? And she ask for my husband to pay 85% and she 15%. How that''s work??? We are going to look for a good lawyer to help us. we want to pay for the college or preference communite college for the fist 2 years, but we don't want pay alone, we still have 3 more kids that will be at college in 1 year. What we do??

Going thru divorce is a most difficult time. It was for me. Having an experienced lawyer is very critical. Mark was my lawyer and I could not be more fortunate to have him. He did not escalate the dispute. He maintained his steady position and responded well to the accusations. He is very professional and keeps you well informed. He discusses the matter and issues with his client and provides advice. Mark is very efficient in correspondence and very organized. He checks all the information to ensure they are factual. Mark is an exceptional lawyer if you are looking for one to protect your right.

He discusses the matter and issues with his client and provides advice. Mark is very efficient in correspondence and very organized. He checks all the information to ensure they are factual. Mark is an exceptional lawyer if you are looking for one to protect your right.

Mark Alexander represented me in my recent dissolution. I had a negative experience with an incompetent attorney prior to being referred to Mr. Alexander, so it was a relief to meet with someone so professional. I knew right away that he had the expertise to help me. Mr. Alexander’s creative problem solving methods are invaluable in situations where emotions run high and people tend to behave erratically. No matter what problematic situation arose, I knew that Mr. Alexander would have a logical answer to my questions and a strategy to bring closure to the situation. Mr. Alexander is caring, compassion and gentle in spirit when dealing with his clients who have had their lives turned upside down. He is extremely prompt in his responses to emails and phone calls. I couldn’t have asked for anyone more qualified or more knowledgeable to represent me.

Mark Alexander represented me in a particularly difficult and acrimonious divorce complicated by property ownership in several states and my residence in Asia. The matter was further strained by my wife’s attorney’s provocative language and insistence on citing irrelevant issues. Throughout this process, Mr. Alexander was dignified, calm, insightful, articulate and thoroughly knowledgeable of laws and statutes with which he deftly countered the other attorney’s hyperbole and repeated demands for a trial. The final settlement which he negotiated for me was equitable and ended in a judgment more favorable than I had anticipated. I recommend Mr. Alexander and his prompt and efficient staff without reservation.

My ex and I used Mark twice, once to mediate our divorce and again later to address changes requested. I found him to be unreliable to interpret the actual law and mostly interested using a shallow emotional approach. If a point made by one party sounds 'good' or sounds politically correct, he seems to accept that without taking a deeper look at whether his decisions are actually fair and tenable. He went back on his own language from the first mediation to the later mediation when my ex asked, despite his own clause in the parenting plan to avoid so. Very disappointing.

Simply the best! I cannot say enough about this firm. I had a very high profile and high level divorce. The service, compassion and discretion I received is more than 5*. Mark Alexander may be the best kept, hidden gem, best family attorney in all of Seattle. Thank you seattle divorce and Mark!

Mark helped me years ago with my initial divorce as well as with a more recent parenting plan modification initiated by my ex. Our case was by no means collaborative or friendly. A saving grace for the emotional tumult of family court is a calm and knowledgeable attorney. Mark is that and then some. He deescalated issues with the opposing party many times, guided me in non-emotional communications with my ex, and helped us, finally, to settle out of court. I definitely recommend Mark, hands down.

But in our case only the salary of my husband ex-wife is $25,000 a year, but along with her new husband they make $102,000 the same as my husband and I together. But she claims in the papers court she only make $25.000 wage it. How does this work? The judge only calculates the salary ex-wife or the judge calculates the salary of her along with her husband? And she ask for my husband to pay 85% and she 15%. How that''s work??? We are going to look for a good lawyer to help us. we want to pay for the college or preference communite college for the fist 2 years, but we don't want pay alone, we still have 3 more kids that will be at college in 1 year. What we do??
