This position offers the opportunity to work alongside a team of accomplished family law practitioners –including WWL President Amanda Gamble and 2023 WWL Snohomish County Chapter’s Member of the Year Kelsey Affronte—who value mentorship, collaboration, and integrity. Our family law attorneys and staff bring more than 115 years of shared legal experience to the table— we’ve got your back.
