Process FAQ
What if the matter starts in Tacoma but reaches outside Pierce County?
That is common. Roughly 30 percent of Pierce County workers commute to King County, and JBLM straddles the Pierce-Thurston county line. Start here if Tacoma is the center of gravity, and include any other counties involved so the plan accounts for cross-county logistics from the start.
Do you handle military family cases from JBLM?
Yes. Joint Base Lewis-McChord is nine miles south of the office, and military family-law cases involving deployment, PCS relocation, SCRA protections, and military pension division make up a significant portion of our Pierce County work. We understand how to coordinate between civilian courts and military command structures.
Can my Pierce County attorney be included?
Yes. If counsel is involved, updates and reporting are coordinated around Pierce County Superior Court hearing schedules and filing deadlines. The office is minutes from the courthouse at 930 Tacoma Avenue South, which simplifies logistics for attorney coordination.
