Northwest Family Law

What Northwest Family Law does

Northwest Family Law, P.S. is a boutique family law firm headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, founded by Monica Chin and operating as a Washington professional service corporation. The firm is exclusively focused on family law matters — divorce (contested, uncontested, high-net-worth, LGBTQ+, later-in-life), child custody and parenting plans, child support, spousal maintenance, property division, domestic violence protection, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, adoption, minor guardianship, collaborative law, and unmarried-couple issues. It serves individuals and families across King County, Snohomish County, and the broader Seattle-Eastside region from two physical offices in Kirkland (headquarters, relocated March 2026 to 11255 Kirkland Way, Suite 100) and Bellevue (1800 136th Pl NE, Suite 207).

The firm is built around a team of 11 attorneys, 5 paralegals, 6 administrative staff, and 2 legal assistants (24 total listed), with deliberately diversified specializations including high-net-worth divorce, LGBTQ+ family law, military-family matters, and blended-family representation. There is no proprietary technology product; the "platform" is the expertise and credentials of the legal team, supplemented by an extensive content-marketing presence (100+ educational blog articles and dedicated city/service landing pages) and a strong local reputation (120+ Google Reviews at 5.0, Super Lawyers 2026, Best Lawyers, Avvo 10.0, U.S. News Best Law Firms 2025).

Commercially, the firm operates a direct-to-consumer professional services model: clients reach the firm via organic search, Google Reviews, professional referrals, and direct consultation requests through the website or phone. Services are billed on hourly or fixed-fee arrangements quoted after consultation, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer mix is intentionally horizontal — individual consumers across segments (mainstream divorcing couples, high-net-worth clients, LGBTQ+ couples, military families near JBLM, and blended families) — with no enterprise or institutional clients and no external funding or PE/VC ownership disclosed.
