You have to get along with your mom or lose children

My xhusband listened delete message & did not tell Lora. I hired childcare showed up & a man with Bluetooth in loby smug powefull hate crimes. Gail Mcsomething big blonde slob.

One of the worst things to ever happen to me in my life was facing down the inevitable fate of a contentious divorce. One of the best things to ever happen to me in my life was meeting Amanda Dubois and her team. Amanda has helped me not only battle through the darkest throes of my divorce and come out on top but introduce me to the strong, confident woman I always was but could never see. Amanda is the most amazing blend of compassion and fierceness- she is an unstoppable force that will go above and beyond to protect your safety and well-being. There has never been a time when I could not reach out to Amanda and get a question answered immediately. She puts her clients needs first. I can’t count how many times I frantically called her needing a last minute phone debrief or emergency same day appointment. She always made herself available to me. Amanda has not only made this dark time in my life bearable but she has instilled in me a great hope for my future. I will forever be grateful to Amanda and her team at Dubois Cary Law.

Michelle Fontenot and her assistant, Jason, worked diligently over the past 18 months through the most difficult time in my life. They provided much needed guidance and support and always had my children's best interest at heart. Even when I was emotional, confused, and distraught, they remained patient, calm, and compassionate. I could not have done this without them and would recommend them to anyone.

great, very helpful, just over the phone with a quick question

While my ex and I had an almost wholly amicable split we felt completely unqualified to fairly divvy up our assets. Monica--in a single meeting--looked at the money and helped us reach an agreement we both felt was more than fair. She was relaxed, professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Couldn't have asked for me. I highly recommend her.

Monica and her team were professional, thorough, fair and kind. Highly recommended for family mediation needs.

I don't know what I would do with out Lucia and Tania as my legal team. Lucia has been my lawyer for about 5 years. I would recommend her to anyone. She shows up for me completely prepared for the courtroom, is totally confident in her presentations and and is so knowledgeable. I can't thank them enough for all they have done.

Michelle and Jason are not just extremely knowledgeable and efficient in family law, but also very caring and empathetic. Because of there experience and help, I have the schedule with my daughter I was fighting for and as a result can spend more time with her. Thank you both! I would highly recommend Michelle Fontenot to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Michelle and Jason where very helpful trying to understand the nightmare that is the ambiguous WA legal system. They were very understanding and honest about a difficult situation. I would gladly recommend them to anyone with going through a devorce with children involved.

We came to DuBois Cary in search of a qualified attorney with experience in 3rd party custody when we were seeking emergency custody of our 18 month old grandchild. After having an in depth consult with Lucia (Levias) we knew she was the one who could help us. She was compassionate, knowledgeable and very straightforward with this very delicate,serious matter. Everything was presented to us in a professional, clear manner with excellent help by the paralegals. In a only a few months we had full legal permanent custody of our grandchild, giving us comfort and peace of mind.

iam a 34yr old male and am extremely proud to say thanks to michelle fontenot and jason evans of the dubios cary law group i have full parental rights and time w my 2yr old son. michelle is extremely professional, caring, and an excellent teacher in guiding me throught his horrible legal process. both michelle and jason made the process that much easier to deal with the stress involved. both of them were there for me the entire process, promptly answering emails, phone calls or even just needing someone to vent to. i feel like i owe michelle and jason my life for the time they had invested into my family. i will be paying them for years to come but you cannot price on your childs safety and knowing their in the best hands possible. the family law process is stressful, horrible, emotionally straining something i wouldnt wish upon my worse enemy, but having michelle and jasons guidance through it made it that much easier. her strategic plan of attack, process of approaching issues and making sure everything is on time, extremely proffesional. also dealt with the financing dept terry, again awesome person. understanding whats going on and spending her time to talk with me not only about finances but about how my son is doing throughout the process, very nice and understanding, caring person. i can go on for hrs, bottom line if your looking for legal assistance dealing with family law issue definately contact michelle fontenot. out of all the lawyers i contacted in the beginning michelle was the only person who seemed to actually care and not just wanted to take my money. michelle and jason and whole dubois cary law group thankyou from me and my son.

My situation was difficult as I was dealing with some relatives who were attempting to take custody of my daughter from me based on false accusations, etc...while we were dealing with family issues.
Michelle Fontonot, my attorney helped me to keep focused on what was important, while defending me and my rights as a parent in court.
She was very knowledgeable of the law, well prepared, professional and respectful to all parties involved. Jason, her paralegal spent many hours helping me to prepare my paperwork. The office staff were very friendly and helpful.
I highly recommend Michelle and The Dubois Cary Law Group to anyone needing a good family law lawyer.
Because of their efforts I am able to see and be involved in my child's life.
Thank You!

I highly recommend Monica Cary. She helped a family member through a difficult divorce and provided excellent counsel with compassion and absolute professionalism. I will gladly be a reference for her and her firm.

I had a nightmarish divorce case that went on for a year and ended up with a week-long(!) court trial. My ex-wife went with a big-shot downtown lawyer who promised her the sun, the moon, and the whole sky. I went with DuBois Cary. And, boy, was it a right choice! I knew right away that I did not want big-shot lawyers because to them you are just a stream of billable hours, they could care less about you, and I wanted somebody who cared about me and what I was going through. So I browsed the web sites of divorce attorneys, not seeing quite what I wanted, until I came across the web site of DuBois Cary. On some deep intuitive level I knew that this was it. I was not mistaken. I got started with Monica but then she had to take a maternity leave and I worked with Amanda and Lucia. They were wonderful. Through 2 parenting evaluations that my ex-wife forced on me, through endless allegations that I had to fight, they stood by my side both professionally and personally. When they say about themselves "compassionate legal representation", they mean it. They were my counsel, they were my support team. They encouraged me through my darkest hours. We went to trial and the court approved my version of the parenting plan as being in the best interests of the child. I could not have done it without them. My representation turned out to be much more thorough and professional than that of my ex-wife, and they were compassionate, too! I doubt that my ex-wife's attorney was checking in on her at nights or on weekends just to see how she was holding up. Amanda and Lucia were. It's been 4 years since my divorce was finalized and we still keep in touch, they always want to know how my daughter and I are doing, what's happening in our lives. How many attorneys do that? Top-notch professionals and caring people. I highly recommend them.

My divorce was a difficult, highly stressful, emotionally draining event - a negative experience that I would not wish on anyone. But I can honestly say, the one unexpected positive element of my divorce proceedings was the incredible support and compassion I received from my attorney, Amanda DuBois, and the talented team at Dubois Cary Law Group. I was a single mom, pregnant, and alone in Seattle - all of my family lived thousands of miles away - and I did not know how I would survive the divorce on my own. I depended on Amanda and her team for not only their legal expertise and vast experience in navigating complicated divorce issues, but for their kindness and understanding of my unique situation. Whatever I needed (even the name of a temporary babysitter at one point!), the Dubois Cary team was there with ideas, resources, and endless amounts of patience. Amanda fought for me and the best interest of my child, and the end result was positively life changing. Life saving, really, and I have Amanda DuBois and the team at Dubois Cary to thank for that. I highly recommend this law firm.

I had a wonderful experience with this firm. Not only did they help me through the most emotional time in my life, Amanda and team gave me sound advice. On top of this, Amanda has been there to help me connect to those in my field to ensure my ongoing success. Not only a lawyer, but a friend!

Thank you very, very much for all you did to help during the past two years!

We couldn't have managed without you and all of your support. Your team is number one in family law. I interviewed the top 4 family law groups. Amanda you were the only one that believed that "honesty is the best policy" and we won the case. Dubois Law group cared for me and my child as their clients.

Amanda provided stellar service for over 2 (two) years, keeping my child safe. It was a complex and highly litigated case. Amanda and her associates will give you the best legal representation. They will be your guide and trusted resource.

A year plus of legal maneuvering and now I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The Dubois Cary Law Firm was referred by another reputable Seattle law firm as "a firm with heart and drive". I came to Amanda Dubois and her team with what seemed like a pretty straightforward case of people needing to separate and move on. I was looking for someone who would help guide me through the divorce system without losing sight of what was truly important to me ---the children. Amanda did just that.
As time progressed and the case presented itself, it became apparent that this wasn’t such a straightforward case at all. The Dubois Cary Law Firm rose to the challenge in every instance. Amanda is very well-versed in family law and was a wealth of information. They weren’t afraid to go beyond their physical space or expertise to bring in consultants to advise on the case when it moved beyond family law. I really appreciated that they valued me as a client (and person) and weren’t just focused on the billable hourly they could have garnered had they kept it all in house. The people that they brought in to consult were nothing less than amazingly sharp and talented in their respective areas. Amanda built a wonderful team of experts that kept their eye on the ball, thought out of the box and kept me grounded. Their talents complimented Amanda’s skillset and that of her team.
I would recommend The Dubois Cary Law group to anyone who has their family as their top priority. They lead with heart and soul and that was the perfect fit for me. I am grateful for their expertise in what I would say was one of the lowest periods of my life. Unfortunately, we ended up in trial. It was a pretty complex legal issue… we won!
