Natalie took over our case from another lawyer in her firm who retired. It was a scary scenario for us, but Natalie jumped in like she’d been there the whole time. Our case file was over 1000 pages and very very complicated. She communicated clearly and LISTENED to our concerns to advocate for the be st possible outcome. Even after our complicated custody case was finalized, it was followed by a relocation which Natalie navigated intelligently to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted move despite a very difficult ex attempting to use any excuse to delay the inevitable. Natalie really handled our case with care and we are very appreciative of her attentiveness and understanding. It was a very overwhelming case, but she jumped in head first and helped us swim to shore. I recommend Natalie to anyone who is navigating a tough divorce/custody/relocation situation.

We highly recommend Natalie Roberts. She took our case after another attorney from another firm failed to represent us to our satisfaction. We worked with Natalie for almost two years before our custody trial. She always communicated clearly and directly, and was very knowledgeable. At trial, she was aggressive, but respectful. Her opening and closing arguments were touching and profound. She was instrumental in bringing our family back together, and for that we are grateful.

I hired Natalie to write a simple demand letter to my ex for adjusting child support to help with my sons college. I waited three weeks to have her write two paragraphs and then tell me she will email it to my ex. Email really? No proof of receiving? After I told her this wouldn’t work, and that time was of the essence given my son is a senior, I was told she didn’t have time for my case! Wow! After her firm securing a lofty retainer. Needless to say, she was dismissed from representing me, and I was charged $500 for a letter I could have written myself. Beware of this firm and Natalie, sounds like they are money hungry and not willing to put forth the small effort you ask of them. Thanks for wasting my time and money!

Natalie came into my life when my previous council couldn't keep up with the complex issues of my case. I felt unseen, unheard. When I found Natalie, she stepped in and stepped up quickly; she is so brilliant, organized, hard working, compassionate, and just 'gets it' when I need her. She's adept at staying focused when opposing council creates chaos, and most critically, she guides and advises well, even when I don't like the answer. She's gone to bat for me on big and small things, always with a complex understanding of the law and family court, and incredible preparation. She keeps me focused when I'm anxious but knows there's nothing more important than a child to a loving parent. I'm forever thankful for Natalie, even in the unpredictable nature of court, she's an incredible stabilizing force. Do not hesitate to hire Natalie, she is honest, full of integrity and so dang smart! I trust Natalie in all aspects of family law.

I considered five different options when it was clear I needed a lawyer for my divorce. Natalie and her office were responsive to call back, provide a consultation, able to take on new clients, and she was the only one where I actually felt heard and where my case felt understood without assumptions. Natalie *listened,* and executed with precision in her role and with vast depth of understanding in family law. Natalie was an absolute advocate through the process, and I am incredibly grateful to have her on my side. This is the lawyer you want!!!

Ashley · family law · May 2026

When I was a seeking relocation order so I could move with my children, Lisa was up front and honest about the process and what I should do. I am thankful to have had Lisa in my corner. I have worked with Lisa a number of times since in making adjustments to my Parenting Plan. I can't imaging a be tter attorney than Lisa and I highly recommend her!

Ivan · family law · May 2026

I had not spoken with Lisa for 5 minutes when I realized she was THE attorney I need to represent me and my interest in what was a very contentious divorce. She exudes Confidence, Knowledge and Total and Complete assurance that she can get the job done correctly … AND SHE DID. During negotiat ions the opposing attorney would make outlandish demands, causing me stress and shock, and Lisa would say calmly "well that's not going to happen" and she made sure it didn't. She was such a calming force during such an emotional time for me that I truly believe God sent her to me as an answer to my many prayers! To anyone who is lost and hurting as I was, I would absolutely recommend Lisa without hesitation. Lisa is an outstanding attorney who is fair to her clients and truly cares about their well being. My experience with her exceeded all expectations and made a terrible time for me and family close with as little angst as possible and I was totally satisfied with the outcome. If you are looking for THE BEST to represent you I believe you have found them with Lisa!

Lisa DuFour (attorney) is amazing. I called her (during a day when my ex had with- held my child for a week during my custodial time) and despite going to several emergency court hearings where I could not get my child back, I consulted with Lisa in a time of crises & she immediately (same day that I called her) helped turn the situation around favorably to me! By hiring Lisa DuFour, not only did I get my child back immediately, I also got a lot of extra make up time including holidays! Lisa immediately reassured me, she put a plan into action and she helped me execute it in a time of personal crises and despair for me. She is very fast paced, she is great in dealing with emergencies or complex legal crises. After having hired several attorneys in the past 6 years in a high conflict child custody case with a highly litigious ex, I wish I had met Lisa 6 years ago. She can quickly assess the situation, give you immediate advice on "what to do" and "what not to do", she takes half the time ALL other attorneys in Seattle have taken me in writing legal motions or responses. Lisa is positive, easy to work with and gets right back to you. You are in good hands with Lisa and you get twice the work accomplished because of how fast paced and devoted she is to your situation! Lisa is super smart, strategic, fair, and the best DEVOTED ADVOCATE you could ever have on your side, and her price is SUPER FAIR for what you receive!!! Lisa provides immediate outstanding quality work (all the other attorneys I hired sent drafts back n forth multiple times, for days on end for editing (wasting you time & money): Lisa cuts to the chase and types up a legal brief quickly and concisely not wasting you any time or money. Lisa knows all the players in the legal field in Seattle, and has a lot of wisdom having practiced law in Seattle for over 15 years. While Lisa will fight for your cause, her temperament is even, consistent, predictable, and calm. She is very respectful to her clients (I point this out after having several attorneys who seemed to have mood disorders, raging verbal abuse or anger management issues). You are treated with the utmost respect by Lisa; and she puts you first. I am a professional myself in Seattle and expect to be treated with courtesy. She asks you a lot of good questions and gives you choices. Lisa is a devoted advocate to your family law legal cause, not worried about being liked or fitting in ( I have found so many attorneys in King County are more worried about being liked by other attorneys or judges versus advocating for your children's welfare) , Lisa is firmly and professionally focused on the end game! Hire Lisa DuFour and you will thank your lucky stars!!! I only wish I had found her 6 years ago. The legal product you will receive will be top flight and a great steal for the price. She sets the bar high, no one compares to her legal expertise in King County! Sincerely: Marie

Lisa literally cares about her work and the people she represents. I could have never have gone through what I have gone through without her. She was strong when I wasn’t and when I was bullied and put down she fought for my family. I was able to go on family trips, phone calls, holidays, residential time when my ex tried to take it away from me. Thank you Lisa for saving my life and my family!

Ms. DuFour represented me a few years back regarding parental/custody issues. I was so relieved when I had my consultation with her, feeling that I finally found an attorney who would truly go to bat for me. Boy, did she ever! To this day, I respect her as an attorney and a person - her strength, knowledge and passion is out of this world. Thank you, Ms. DuFour, for making me feel like I mattered!

Shana helped me with my divorce in 2022 and did a great job. She was prepared when needed to be and fought for me like a honey-badger when required. She gave me great advice and I was happy with the end result of the settlement and how she handled my ex-husbands attorneys. I would absolutely recommen d her and have already given her name to a friend without hesitation.

Thank you Law Offices of Shana E. Thompson. I received exceptional service from the very beginning, with clear and professional guidance at every step. Thanks to the work of Attorney Donald Knickmeyer and his assistant Bibiana, my case successfully achieved its objective in an efficient manner. The ir work was truly outstanding and highly professional, demonstrating strong commitment and experience. They were always available to answer my questions and keep me informed throughout the entire process. They gave me confidence and peace of mind at every stage, which was very important to me. Their dedication and attention to detail made a significant difference in the outcome. I definitely recommend them 100% and would not hesitate to work with them again.

Eric · family law · May 2026

Shana and her staff provided excellent representation at a reasonable cost. she respected the disappointing experience I had with a previous legal counsel; and she took everything in stride. I am currently asking for additional help in another family law matter--look forward to speaking with her and Gabrielle.

Having had 3 family attorneys over the course of 10 years, I was extremely pleased with Shana Thompson and her team. Our case was drawn out due to covid, but her team stayed on top of everything and kept it all moving, making sure nothing fell through the cracks. Shana herself was empathetic with m e as the parent, but also took a very no nonsense approach when dealing with the other parties involved. I really appreciated her professionalism, attention to detail and ability to stay on point. Our end result did go in our favor and I contribute much of this to Mrs. Thompson and her team. I would absolutely recommend her to family and friends needing family law services in the future.

I would absolutely hire Ms. Thompson and would be afraid to not have her to defend me at times of great trial. I consulted with and hired Ms. Thompson because of pervasive harassment by a colleague at work. Ms. Thompson is an expert in family law with decades of experience and a comprehensive knowl edge. In addition, she is incredibly understanding and capable of defending her clients from harm. I am forever grateful. My family is forever grateful. She successfully argued my case in the face of intimidation and we won my case. I was granted a full protection order and my petition was deemed credible. I felt supported and hopeful in the face of fear and intimidation. Ms. Thompson saved the day! Thank you so much, I hope I never have to face a similar situation but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Ms. Thompson to represent me.
