Robert Kaufman is a great Lawyer; I recommend strongly to anybody who needs an honest and professional Lawyer, I am so glad I found a trust lawyer. Whom I could trust, he handles my case exceptionally well, I appreciate his candor and honesty with my situation. Thank you, Robert Kaufman, for defending me without giving me any difficulties in your attorney fee.
Bob was critical for helping get me through an urgent family issue. He was very fast and compassionate, treated me with respect and kindness, and pursued my case with diligence. He was sensitive to all aspects of a complex situation and I'm grateful for his support during that time.
I contacted Robert Kaufman for divorce assistance. He was kind, thoughtful, and patient, answering all my questions as though he had all the time in the world. I knew after an hour that I wanted him for my divorce lawyer, even though he told me, since the divorce was uncontested, we would probably be fine with a legal tech, rather than a lawyer. But I wanted to work with him because I liked him, trusted his judgement, and appreciated his rates—which are low, given his many years of experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and Bob was always accessible to me by email or phone when I had questions. I recommend him with pleasure.
Divorce is probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to face in my adult life; however, it was necessary for a happier healthier life for not only myself but for my son as well. Since there was a child involved, my divorce was not an amicable one. Divorce is hard on all parties involved and changing the family dynamic forced me to make some difficult and impossible decisions. This was my first experience retaining an attorney for personal reasons. I didn’t know what to expect and how the process worked. I had met with several attorneys before I met Robert Kaufman (Bob). When I met Bob, I felt completely at ease almost immediately and felt his calm but direct demeanor matched what I needed in order to get through this divorce. My divorce lasted almost a year exactly...primarily due to the battle over the parenting plan. My ex-husband wanted to have joint custody with co-parenting rights; however, made it clear that he only wanted a very limited amount of time with his son. Our primary conflict was residential time, my ex-husband fought to limit his time as much as possible and I was fighting for him to have more time with his son. In the end, I decided that there was no void I could possibly fill for the lack my ex-husband’s willingness to be in our son’s life, so I settled for the little amount of time he was willing to spend him. I know that at the end of the day, my ex-husband is the one missing out. I consulted with Bob a lot on the parenting and child support plan, which was the majority of our communications. Bob was always laid out my options and explained everything in a clear concise manner which I appreciated so much. I am a none confrontational person, and Bob made sure that I knew what my options were and understood them before any decisions were made. Bob in a lot of ways protected me from myself and making sure I didn’t make any brash decisions out of fear of conflict. I am beyond thankful that I chose Bob to represent me and he accepted me as his client. I couldn’t have been in more steady capable hands. He was compassionate while also being direct and action oriented. Being new to the process of divorce and legal system, I had a lot of questions and concerns, Bob was very patient and never made me feel that my questions were silly or my opinions invalid. Thank you, Bob, for getting me through to the light at the end of the tunnel!
Robert (Bob) represented me during my divorce (of 38 years) with the upmost degree of professionalism. The guidance and support he provided maneuvering the legal processes and emotionally charged discussions between parties was superb. He was instrumental in setting realistic expectations around the division of assets while also serving as an advocate protecting my specific areas of interests. It was clear to me that I’d made the right choice for legal representation, I never once doubted my interests were not being served and would gladly hire him again.
Bob was my attorney for my divorce case. He is very diligent, thorough professional and gave me excellent advice. He fought for me when needed and gave me good insights into structuring parental plan. Divorce is a very painful process and his personal support and advice were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Robert.
Robert was my 2nd attorney for my divorce case in 2016. My 1st attorney made so many wrong judgments that our every move led to a dead end. After throwing 10K+, I got so frustrated and turned to Robert. Robert saved my case! From the beginning, he knew how the case should evolve and explained what to and what not to expect. And yes, the case moved exactly as he promised, no confusion or bad surprise. He fought for my best interest all the time. He fought back the mediator (another exerpericed attorney) with print-out case examples. He succeeded in making the other party to pay most of my attorney fee because they didn't cooperate well. His service is worth every penny. He is also upfront about cost and didn't push me for any unnecessary moves (which cost me a fortune with my 1st attorney). When I needed family attorney in 2017 again, I didn't hesitate to call Robert. And he did the same excellent job again! I would recommend Robert to anyone who is looking for an trustworthy, experienced family attorney.
My divorce of 2 years ago was amicable but I ended up needing representation to navigate the division of assets, parenting plan and so forth. Robert put together legal documents that were thorough, bulletproof and fair, and did so quickly and compassionately. I can't recommend him enough, especially since issues have come up post-divorce and the signed contracts have saved me a lot of pain.
Divorce can be a truly horrific experience. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been referred to Robert Kaufman in late 2011 when I faced such circumstances. He is first and foremost professional in demeanor and actions, and well-versed in financial matters. During our first meeting, he adeptly (and patiently) listened, inquired and thoroughly assessed my circumstances. Within a matter of minutes, he had outlined and constructed legal next steps, including recommended actions on my part. As an active father of two sons, the custody and wellbeing of my children was of major importance. While in the end I did not achieve the parenting plan agreement I sought, I can genuinely say that Mr. Kaufman was extremely knowledgeable and versed in child custody law, and put forth every possible effort on my behalf, leveraging every avenue afforded by WA family law towards achieving the desired result. In hindsight years later, I can say that his counsel maximized to the greatest extent possible the residential time I have today with my sons. At no time did he make promises or guarantees, which I appreciated. He will clearly state objectives and strategies, and if you ask a difficult question, he will answer it if possible, but also clearly state when he could not do so in a professional capacity. I have contacted Mr. Kaufman on one or two occasions over the years to answer odd parenting plan questions that come up, and in every encounter his demeanor is welcoming, remembers myself and my children, and is quickly able to retrieve any and all critical documentation and respond in thorough detail. While I highly recommend Mr. Kaufman from the vantage point of a hard-working, engaged father, I will close by saying with confidence that he would also equally represent a hard-working and engaging mother in similar circumstance. WA family law is a treacherous ocean to navigate - Mr. Kaufman is the captain you need at the helm of your ship. You may or may not get the result you desire, but his stable, knowledgeable, insightful counsel is your best option.
Robert has been my attorney for approximately two years dealing with a divorce from an ambiguous on-off relationship. Robert's manner is reassuring while he explains what to expect and what the law requires every step of the way. With an opposing counsel who was often emotionally antagonistic, Robert stayed the course. Confidently responding to opposing counsel while remaining in control. Divorce is not always a straightforward process and in my case Robert made things go relatively smoothly by representing me superbly. I recommend Robert without reservation.

I know that at the end of the day, my ex-husband is the one missing out. I consulted with Bob a lot on the parenting and child support plan, which was the majority of our communications. Bob was always laid out my options and explained everything in a clear concise manner which I appreciated so much. I am a none confrontational person, and Bob made sure that I knew what my options were and understood them before any decisions were made. Bob in a lot of ways protected me from myself and making sure I didn’t make any brash decisions out of fear of conflict. I am beyond thankful that I chose Bob to represent me and he accepted me as his client. I couldn’t have been in more steady capable hands. He was compassionate while also being direct and action oriented. Being new to the process of divorce and legal system, I had a lot of questions and concerns, Bob was very patient and never made me feel that my questions were silly or my opinions invalid. Thank you, Bob, for getting me through to the light at the end of the tunnel!
Robert (Bob) represented me during my divorce (of 38 years) with the upmost degree of professionalism. The guidance and support he provided maneuvering the legal processes and emotionally charged discussions between parties was superb. He was instrumental in setting realistic expectations around the division of assets while also serving as an advocate protecting my specific areas of interests. It was clear to me that I’d made the right choice for legal representation, I never once doubted my interests were not being served and would gladly hire him again.
Bob was my attorney for my divorce case. He is very diligent, thorough professional and gave me excellent advice. He fought for me when needed and gave me good insights into structuring parental plan. Divorce is a very painful process and his personal support and advice were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Robert.
Robert was my 2nd attorney for my divorce case in 2016. My 1st attorney made so many wrong judgments that our every move led to a dead end. After throwing 10K+, I got so frustrated and turned to Robert. Robert saved my case! From the beginning, he knew how the case should evolve and explained what to and what not to expect. And yes, the case moved exactly as he promised, no confusion or bad surprise. He fought for my best interest all the time. He fought back the mediator (another exerpericed attorney) with print-out case examples. He succeeded in making the other party to pay most of my attorney fee because they didn't cooperate well. His service is worth every penny. He is also upfront about cost and didn't push me for any unnecessary moves (which cost me a fortune with my 1st attorney). When I needed family attorney in 2017 again, I didn't hesitate to call Robert. And he did the same excellent job again! I would recommend Robert to anyone who is looking for an trustworthy, experienced family attorney.
My divorce of 2 years ago was amicable but I ended up needing representation to navigate the division of assets, parenting plan and so forth. Robert put together legal documents that were thorough, bulletproof and fair, and did so quickly and compassionately. I can't recommend him enough, especially since issues have come up post-divorce and the signed contracts have saved me a lot of pain.
Divorce can be a truly horrific experience. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been referred to Robert Kaufman in late 2011 when I faced such circumstances. He is first and foremost professional in demeanor and actions, and well-versed in financial matters. During our first meeting, he adeptly (and patiently) listened, inquired and thoroughly assessed my circumstances. Within a matter of minutes, he had outlined and constructed legal next steps, including recommended actions on my part. As an active father of two sons, the custody and wellbeing of my children was of major importance. While in the end I did not achieve the parenting plan agreement I sought, I can genuinely say that Mr. Kaufman was extremely knowledgeable and versed in child custody law, and put forth every possible effort on my behalf, leveraging every avenue afforded by WA family law towards achieving the desired result. In hindsight years later, I can say that his counsel maximized to the greatest extent possible the residential time I have today with my sons. At no time did he make promises or guarantees, which I appreciated. He will clearly state objectives and strategies, and if you ask a difficult question, he will answer it if possible, but also clearly state when he could not do so in a professional capacity. I have contacted Mr. Kaufman on one or two occasions over the years to answer odd parenting plan questions that come up, and in every encounter his demeanor is welcoming, remembers myself and my children, and is quickly able to retrieve any and all critical documentation and respond in thorough detail. While I highly recommend Mr. Kaufman from the vantage point of a hard-working, engaged father, I will close by saying with confidence that he would also equally represent a hard-working and engaging mother in similar circumstance. WA family law is a treacherous ocean to navigate - Mr. Kaufman is the captain you need at the helm of your ship. You may or may not get the result you desire, but his stable, knowledgeable, insightful counsel is your best option.
Robert has been my attorney for approximately two years dealing with a divorce from an ambiguous on-off relationship. Robert's manner is reassuring while he explains what to expect and what the law requires every step of the way. With an opposing counsel who was often emotionally antagonistic, Robert stayed the course. Confidently responding to opposing counsel while remaining in control. Divorce is not always a straightforward process and in my case Robert made things go relatively smoothly by representing me superbly. I recommend Robert without reservation.
Robert Kaufman is a great Lawyer; I recommend strongly to anybody who needs an honest and professional Lawyer, I am so glad I found a trust lawyer. Whom I could trust, he handles my case exceptionally well, I appreciate his candor and honesty with my situation. Thank you, Robert Kaufman, for defending me without giving me any difficulties in your attorney fee.
Bob was critical for helping get me through an urgent family issue. He was very fast and compassionate, treated me with respect and kindness, and pursued my case with diligence. He was sensitive to all aspects of a complex situation and I'm grateful for his support during that time.
I contacted Robert Kaufman for divorce assistance. He was kind, thoughtful, and patient, answering all my questions as though he had all the time in the world. I knew after an hour that I wanted him for my divorce lawyer, even though he told me, since the divorce was uncontested, we would probably be fine with a legal tech, rather than a lawyer. But I wanted to work with him because I liked him, trusted his judgement, and appreciated his rates—which are low, given his many years of experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and Bob was always accessible to me by email or phone when I had questions. I recommend him with pleasure.
Divorce is probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to face in my adult life; however, it was necessary for a happier healthier life for not only myself but for my son as well. Since there was a child involved, my divorce was not an amicable one. Divorce is hard on all parties involved and changing the family dynamic forced me to make some difficult and impossible decisions. This was my first experience retaining an attorney for personal reasons. I didn’t know what to expect and how the process worked. I had met with several attorneys before I met Robert Kaufman (Bob). When I met Bob, I felt completely at ease almost immediately and felt his calm but direct demeanor matched what I needed in order to get through this divorce. My divorce lasted almost a year exactly...primarily due to the battle over the parenting plan. My ex-husband wanted to have joint custody with co-parenting rights; however, made it clear that he only wanted a very limited amount of time with his son. Our primary conflict was residential time, my ex-husband fought to limit his time as much as possible and I was fighting for him to have more time with his son. In the end, I decided that there was no void I could possibly fill for the lack my ex-husband’s willingness to be in our son’s life, so I settled for the little amount of time he was willing to spend him.

My divorce of 2 years ago was amicable but I ended up needing representation to navigate the division of assets, parenting plan and so forth. Robert put together legal documents that were thorough, bulletproof and fair, and did so quickly and compassionately. I can't recommend him enough, especially since issues have come up post-divorce and the signed contracts have saved me a lot of pain.
Divorce can be a truly horrific experience. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been referred to Robert Kaufman in late 2011 when I faced such circumstances. He is first and foremost professional in demeanor and actions, and well-versed in financial matters. During our first meeting, he adeptly (and patiently) listened, inquired and thoroughly assessed my circumstances. Within a matter of minutes, he had outlined and constructed legal next steps, including recommended actions on my part. As an active father of two sons, the custody and wellbeing of my children was of major importance. While in the end I did not achieve the parenting plan agreement I sought, I can genuinely say that Mr. Kaufman was extremely knowledgeable and versed in child custody law, and put forth every possible effort on my behalf, leveraging every avenue afforded by WA family law towards achieving the desired result. In hindsight years later, I can say that his counsel maximized to the greatest extent possible the residential time I have today with my sons. At no time did he make promises or guarantees, which I appreciated. He will clearly state objectives and strategies, and if you ask a difficult question, he will answer it if possible, but also clearly state when he could not do so in a professional capacity. I have contacted Mr. Kaufman on one or two occasions over the years to answer odd parenting plan questions that come up, and in every encounter his demeanor is welcoming, remembers myself and my children, and is quickly able to retrieve any and all critical documentation and respond in thorough detail. While I highly recommend Mr. Kaufman from the vantage point of a hard-working, engaged father, I will close by saying with confidence that he would also equally represent a hard-working and engaging mother in similar circumstance. WA family law is a treacherous ocean to navigate - Mr. Kaufman is the captain you need at the helm of your ship. You may or may not get the result you desire, but his stable, knowledgeable, insightful counsel is your best option.
Robert has been my attorney for approximately two years dealing with a divorce from an ambiguous on-off relationship. Robert's manner is reassuring while he explains what to expect and what the law requires every step of the way. With an opposing counsel who was often emotionally antagonistic, Robert stayed the course. Confidently responding to opposing counsel while remaining in control. Divorce is not always a straightforward process and in my case Robert made things go relatively smoothly by representing me superbly. I recommend Robert without reservation.
Robert Kaufman is a great Lawyer; I recommend strongly to anybody who needs an honest and professional Lawyer, I am so glad I found a trust lawyer. Whom I could trust, he handles my case exceptionally well, I appreciate his candor and honesty with my situation. Thank you, Robert Kaufman, for defending me without giving me any difficulties in your attorney fee.
Bob was critical for helping get me through an urgent family issue. He was very fast and compassionate, treated me with respect and kindness, and pursued my case with diligence. He was sensitive to all aspects of a complex situation and I'm grateful for his support during that time.
I contacted Robert Kaufman for divorce assistance. He was kind, thoughtful, and patient, answering all my questions as though he had all the time in the world. I knew after an hour that I wanted him for my divorce lawyer, even though he told me, since the divorce was uncontested, we would probably be fine with a legal tech, rather than a lawyer. But I wanted to work with him because I liked him, trusted his judgement, and appreciated his rates—which are low, given his many years of experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and Bob was always accessible to me by email or phone when I had questions. I recommend him with pleasure.
Divorce is probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to face in my adult life; however, it was necessary for a happier healthier life for not only myself but for my son as well. Since there was a child involved, my divorce was not an amicable one. Divorce is hard on all parties involved and changing the family dynamic forced me to make some difficult and impossible decisions. This was my first experience retaining an attorney for personal reasons. I didn’t know what to expect and how the process worked. I had met with several attorneys before I met Robert Kaufman (Bob). When I met Bob, I felt completely at ease almost immediately and felt his calm but direct demeanor matched what I needed in order to get through this divorce. My divorce lasted almost a year exactly...primarily due to the battle over the parenting plan. My ex-husband wanted to have joint custody with co-parenting rights; however, made it clear that he only wanted a very limited amount of time with his son. Our primary conflict was residential time, my ex-husband fought to limit his time as much as possible and I was fighting for him to have more time with his son. In the end, I decided that there was no void I could possibly fill for the lack my ex-husband’s willingness to be in our son’s life, so I settled for the little amount of time he was willing to spend him. I know that at the end of the day, my ex-husband is the one missing out. I consulted with Bob a lot on the parenting and child support plan, which was the majority of our communications. Bob was always laid out my options and explained everything in a clear concise manner which I appreciated so much. I am a none confrontational person, and Bob made sure that I knew what my options were and understood them before any decisions were made. Bob in a lot of ways protected me from myself and making sure I didn’t make any brash decisions out of fear of conflict. I am beyond thankful that I chose Bob to represent me and he accepted me as his client. I couldn’t have been in more steady capable hands. He was compassionate while also being direct and action oriented. Being new to the process of divorce and legal system, I had a lot of questions and concerns, Bob was very patient and never made me feel that my questions were silly or my opinions invalid. Thank you, Bob, for getting me through to the light at the end of the tunnel!
Robert (Bob) represented me during my divorce (of 38 years) with the upmost degree of professionalism. The guidance and support he provided maneuvering the legal processes and emotionally charged discussions between parties was superb. He was instrumental in setting realistic expectations around the division of assets while also serving as an advocate protecting my specific areas of interests. It was clear to me that I’d made the right choice for legal representation, I never once doubted my interests were not being served and would gladly hire him again.
Bob was my attorney for my divorce case. He is very diligent, thorough professional and gave me excellent advice. He fought for me when needed and gave me good insights into structuring parental plan. Divorce is a very painful process and his personal support and advice were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Robert.
Robert was my 2nd attorney for my divorce case in 2016. My 1st attorney made so many wrong judgments that our every move led to a dead end. After throwing 10K+, I got so frustrated and turned to Robert. Robert saved my case! From the beginning, he knew how the case should evolve and explained what to and what not to expect. And yes, the case moved exactly as he promised, no confusion or bad surprise. He fought for my best interest all the time. He fought back the mediator (another exerpericed attorney) with print-out case examples. He succeeded in making the other party to pay most of my attorney fee because they didn't cooperate well. His service is worth every penny. He is also upfront about cost and didn't push me for any unnecessary moves (which cost me a fortune with my 1st attorney). When I needed family attorney in 2017 again, I didn't hesitate to call Robert. And he did the same excellent job again! I would recommend Robert to anyone who is looking for an trustworthy, experienced family attorney.

Bob was critical for helping get me through an urgent family issue. He was very fast and compassionate, treated me with respect and kindness, and pursued my case with diligence. He was sensitive to all aspects of a complex situation and I'm grateful for his support during that time.
I contacted Robert Kaufman for divorce assistance. He was kind, thoughtful, and patient, answering all my questions as though he had all the time in the world. I knew after an hour that I wanted him for my divorce lawyer, even though he told me, since the divorce was uncontested, we would probably be fine with a legal tech, rather than a lawyer. But I wanted to work with him because I liked him, trusted his judgement, and appreciated his rates—which are low, given his many years of experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and Bob was always accessible to me by email or phone when I had questions. I recommend him with pleasure.
Divorce is probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to face in my adult life; however, it was necessary for a happier healthier life for not only myself but for my son as well. Since there was a child involved, my divorce was not an amicable one. Divorce is hard on all parties involved and changing the family dynamic forced me to make some difficult and impossible decisions. This was my first experience retaining an attorney for personal reasons. I didn’t know what to expect and how the process worked. I had met with several attorneys before I met Robert Kaufman (Bob). When I met Bob, I felt completely at ease almost immediately and felt his calm but direct demeanor matched what I needed in order to get through this divorce. My divorce lasted almost a year exactly...primarily due to the battle over the parenting plan. My ex-husband wanted to have joint custody with co-parenting rights; however, made it clear that he only wanted a very limited amount of time with his son. Our primary conflict was residential time, my ex-husband fought to limit his time as much as possible and I was fighting for him to have more time with his son. In the end, I decided that there was no void I could possibly fill for the lack my ex-husband’s willingness to be in our son’s life, so I settled for the little amount of time he was willing to spend him. I know that at the end of the day, my ex-husband is the one missing out. I consulted with Bob a lot on the parenting and child support plan, which was the majority of our communications. Bob was always laid out my options and explained everything in a clear concise manner which I appreciated so much. I am a none confrontational person, and Bob made sure that I knew what my options were and understood them before any decisions were made. Bob in a lot of ways protected me from myself and making sure I didn’t make any brash decisions out of fear of conflict. I am beyond thankful that I chose Bob to represent me and he accepted me as his client. I couldn’t have been in more steady capable hands. He was compassionate while also being direct and action oriented. Being new to the process of divorce and legal system, I had a lot of questions and concerns, Bob was very patient and never made me feel that my questions were silly or my opinions invalid. Thank you, Bob, for getting me through to the light at the end of the tunnel!
Robert (Bob) represented me during my divorce (of 38 years) with the upmost degree of professionalism. The guidance and support he provided maneuvering the legal processes and emotionally charged discussions between parties was superb. He was instrumental in setting realistic expectations around the division of assets while also serving as an advocate protecting my specific areas of interests. It was clear to me that I’d made the right choice for legal representation, I never once doubted my interests were not being served and would gladly hire him again.
Bob was my attorney for my divorce case. He is very diligent, thorough professional and gave me excellent advice. He fought for me when needed and gave me good insights into structuring parental plan. Divorce is a very painful process and his personal support and advice were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Robert.
Robert was my 2nd attorney for my divorce case in 2016. My 1st attorney made so many wrong judgments that our every move led to a dead end. After throwing 10K+, I got so frustrated and turned to Robert. Robert saved my case! From the beginning, he knew how the case should evolve and explained what to and what not to expect. And yes, the case moved exactly as he promised, no confusion or bad surprise. He fought for my best interest all the time. He fought back the mediator (another exerpericed attorney) with print-out case examples. He succeeded in making the other party to pay most of my attorney fee because they didn't cooperate well. His service is worth every penny. He is also upfront about cost and didn't push me for any unnecessary moves (which cost me a fortune with my 1st attorney). When I needed family attorney in 2017 again, I didn't hesitate to call Robert. And he did the same excellent job again! I would recommend Robert to anyone who is looking for an trustworthy, experienced family attorney.
My divorce of 2 years ago was amicable but I ended up needing representation to navigate the division of assets, parenting plan and so forth. Robert put together legal documents that were thorough, bulletproof and fair, and did so quickly and compassionately. I can't recommend him enough, especially since issues have come up post-divorce and the signed contracts have saved me a lot of pain.
Divorce can be a truly horrific experience. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been referred to Robert Kaufman in late 2011 when I faced such circumstances. He is first and foremost professional in demeanor and actions, and well-versed in financial matters. During our first meeting, he adeptly (and patiently) listened, inquired and thoroughly assessed my circumstances. Within a matter of minutes, he had outlined and constructed legal next steps, including recommended actions on my part. As an active father of two sons, the custody and wellbeing of my children was of major importance. While in the end I did not achieve the parenting plan agreement I sought, I can genuinely say that Mr. Kaufman was extremely knowledgeable and versed in child custody law, and put forth every possible effort on my behalf, leveraging every avenue afforded by WA family law towards achieving the desired result. In hindsight years later, I can say that his counsel maximized to the greatest extent possible the residential time I have today with my sons. At no time did he make promises or guarantees, which I appreciated. He will clearly state objectives and strategies, and if you ask a difficult question, he will answer it if possible, but also clearly state when he could not do so in a professional capacity. I have contacted Mr. Kaufman on one or two occasions over the years to answer odd parenting plan questions that come up, and in every encounter his demeanor is welcoming, remembers myself and my children, and is quickly able to retrieve any and all critical documentation and respond in thorough detail. While I highly recommend Mr. Kaufman from the vantage point of a hard-working, engaged father, I will close by saying with confidence that he would also equally represent a hard-working and engaging mother in similar circumstance. WA family law is a treacherous ocean to navigate - Mr. Kaufman is the captain you need at the helm of your ship. You may or may not get the result you desire, but his stable, knowledgeable, insightful counsel is your best option.
Robert has been my attorney for approximately two years dealing with a divorce from an ambiguous on-off relationship. Robert's manner is reassuring while he explains what to expect and what the law requires every step of the way. With an opposing counsel who was often emotionally antagonistic, Robert stayed the course. Confidently responding to opposing counsel while remaining in control. Divorce is not always a straightforward process and in my case Robert made things go relatively smoothly by representing me superbly. I recommend Robert without reservation.
Robert Kaufman is a great Lawyer; I recommend strongly to anybody who needs an honest and professional Lawyer, I am so glad I found a trust lawyer. Whom I could trust, he handles my case exceptionally well, I appreciate his candor and honesty with my situation. Thank you, Robert Kaufman, for defending me without giving me any difficulties in your attorney fee.

Being new to the process of divorce and legal system, I had a lot of questions and concerns, Bob was very patient and never made me feel that my questions were silly or my opinions invalid. Thank you, Bob, for getting me through to the light at the end of the tunnel!
Robert (Bob) represented me during my divorce (of 38 years) with the upmost degree of professionalism. The guidance and support he provided maneuvering the legal processes and emotionally charged discussions between parties was superb. He was instrumental in setting realistic expectations around the division of assets while also serving as an advocate protecting my specific areas of interests. It was clear to me that I’d made the right choice for legal representation, I never once doubted my interests were not being served and would gladly hire him again.
Bob was my attorney for my divorce case. He is very diligent, thorough professional and gave me excellent advice. He fought for me when needed and gave me good insights into structuring parental plan. Divorce is a very painful process and his personal support and advice were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Robert.
Robert was my 2nd attorney for my divorce case in 2016. My 1st attorney made so many wrong judgments that our every move led to a dead end. After throwing 10K+, I got so frustrated and turned to Robert. Robert saved my case! From the beginning, he knew how the case should evolve and explained what to and what not to expect. And yes, the case moved exactly as he promised, no confusion or bad surprise. He fought for my best interest all the time. He fought back the mediator (another exerpericed attorney) with print-out case examples. He succeeded in making the other party to pay most of my attorney fee because they didn't cooperate well. His service is worth every penny. He is also upfront about cost and didn't push me for any unnecessary moves (which cost me a fortune with my 1st attorney). When I needed family attorney in 2017 again, I didn't hesitate to call Robert. And he did the same excellent job again! I would recommend Robert to anyone who is looking for an trustworthy, experienced family attorney.
My divorce of 2 years ago was amicable but I ended up needing representation to navigate the division of assets, parenting plan and so forth. Robert put together legal documents that were thorough, bulletproof and fair, and did so quickly and compassionately. I can't recommend him enough, especially since issues have come up post-divorce and the signed contracts have saved me a lot of pain.
Divorce can be a truly horrific experience. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been referred to Robert Kaufman in late 2011 when I faced such circumstances. He is first and foremost professional in demeanor and actions, and well-versed in financial matters. During our first meeting, he adeptly (and patiently) listened, inquired and thoroughly assessed my circumstances. Within a matter of minutes, he had outlined and constructed legal next steps, including recommended actions on my part. As an active father of two sons, the custody and wellbeing of my children was of major importance. While in the end I did not achieve the parenting plan agreement I sought, I can genuinely say that Mr. Kaufman was extremely knowledgeable and versed in child custody law, and put forth every possible effort on my behalf, leveraging every avenue afforded by WA family law towards achieving the desired result. In hindsight years later, I can say that his counsel maximized to the greatest extent possible the residential time I have today with my sons. At no time did he make promises or guarantees, which I appreciated. He will clearly state objectives and strategies, and if you ask a difficult question, he will answer it if possible, but also clearly state when he could not do so in a professional capacity. I have contacted Mr. Kaufman on one or two occasions over the years to answer odd parenting plan questions that come up, and in every encounter his demeanor is welcoming, remembers myself and my children, and is quickly able to retrieve any and all critical documentation and respond in thorough detail. While I highly recommend Mr. Kaufman from the vantage point of a hard-working, engaged father, I will close by saying with confidence that he would also equally represent a hard-working and engaging mother in similar circumstance. WA family law is a treacherous ocean to navigate - Mr. Kaufman is the captain you need at the helm of your ship. You may or may not get the result you desire, but his stable, knowledgeable, insightful counsel is your best option.
Robert has been my attorney for approximately two years dealing with a divorce from an ambiguous on-off relationship. Robert's manner is reassuring while he explains what to expect and what the law requires every step of the way. With an opposing counsel who was often emotionally antagonistic, Robert stayed the course. Confidently responding to opposing counsel while remaining in control. Divorce is not always a straightforward process and in my case Robert made things go relatively smoothly by representing me superbly. I recommend Robert without reservation.
Robert Kaufman is a great Lawyer; I recommend strongly to anybody who needs an honest and professional Lawyer, I am so glad I found a trust lawyer. Whom I could trust, he handles my case exceptionally well, I appreciate his candor and honesty with my situation. Thank you, Robert Kaufman, for defending me without giving me any difficulties in your attorney fee.
Bob was critical for helping get me through an urgent family issue. He was very fast and compassionate, treated me with respect and kindness, and pursued my case with diligence. He was sensitive to all aspects of a complex situation and I'm grateful for his support during that time.
I contacted Robert Kaufman for divorce assistance. He was kind, thoughtful, and patient, answering all my questions as though he had all the time in the world. I knew after an hour that I wanted him for my divorce lawyer, even though he told me, since the divorce was uncontested, we would probably be fine with a legal tech, rather than a lawyer. But I wanted to work with him because I liked him, trusted his judgement, and appreciated his rates—which are low, given his many years of experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and Bob was always accessible to me by email or phone when I had questions. I recommend him with pleasure.
Divorce is probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to face in my adult life; however, it was necessary for a happier healthier life for not only myself but for my son as well. Since there was a child involved, my divorce was not an amicable one. Divorce is hard on all parties involved and changing the family dynamic forced me to make some difficult and impossible decisions. This was my first experience retaining an attorney for personal reasons. I didn’t know what to expect and how the process worked. I had met with several attorneys before I met Robert Kaufman (Bob). When I met Bob, I felt completely at ease almost immediately and felt his calm but direct demeanor matched what I needed in order to get through this divorce. My divorce lasted almost a year exactly...primarily due to the battle over the parenting plan. My ex-husband wanted to have joint custody with co-parenting rights; however, made it clear that he only wanted a very limited amount of time with his son. Our primary conflict was residential time, my ex-husband fought to limit his time as much as possible and I was fighting for him to have more time with his son. In the end, I decided that there was no void I could possibly fill for the lack my ex-husband’s willingness to be in our son’s life, so I settled for the little amount of time he was willing to spend him. I know that at the end of the day, my ex-husband is the one missing out. I consulted with Bob a lot on the parenting and child support plan, which was the majority of our communications. Bob was always laid out my options and explained everything in a clear concise manner which I appreciated so much. I am a none confrontational person, and Bob made sure that I knew what my options were and understood them before any decisions were made. Bob in a lot of ways protected me from myself and making sure I didn’t make any brash decisions out of fear of conflict. I am beyond thankful that I chose Bob to represent me and he accepted me as his client. I couldn’t have been in more steady capable hands. He was compassionate while also being direct and action oriented. Being new to the process of divorce and legal system, I had a lot of questions and concerns, Bob was very patient and never made me feel that my questions were silly or my opinions invalid.
