When Everything Feels Uncertain, Your Path Forward Shouldn't Be

Rise Family Law & Estate Planning is a boutique Washington firm. We work with a limited number of clients at a time - because your matter deserves our complete attention, not a fraction of it.

Strategy. Structure. Support. This is the Rise way.

About Us

Your circumstances are unique. Your legal approach should be too.

Some matters require firm, strategic litigation. Others call for a more private, resolution-focused path. What matters is choosing the approach that protects your outcome - without creating unnecessary conflict along the way.

At Rise, we begin with understanding. Then we build a strategy aligned with your goals, your family, and your future.

Family Law Representation

For divorce, custody, domestic violence concerns, modifications, relocations, and other complex financial matters, we provide structured, strategic advocacy designed to protect what matters most. While minimizing conflict is always the goal, we recognize that litigation is sometimes necessary — and when it is, we approach it with precision, preparation, and purpose.

Collaborative Law

For clients seeking a more intentional, private path forward, collaborative law offers a structured, team-based process focused on resolution rather than litigation. This approach requires specialized training and a shared commitment to moving forward with respect, clarity, and purpose.

Investigative Services

In some matters, insight requires more than what is readily available. Through in-house investigative services, we support asset tracing, background research, and fact development - ensuring your strategy is informed by a complete and accurate picture.

Why Clients Choose Rise

Clients who come to Rise are looking for more than strong advocacy. They want an attorney who listens before strategizing, communicates consistently, and anticipates what matters before it becomes urgent.

By design, we work with a limited number of clients so that every matter receives focused, strategic attention—and you are never left uncertain about where things stand.

Our approach is defined by:

  • Experience with high-conflict custody matters

  • Purposeful litigation grounded in precision

  • Protective advocacy delivered with steadiness and resolve

  • Structured systems that replace chaos with clarity

  • Empowerment through preparation — creating a defined path forward

Best client advocate 

“Jes provided a level of support throughout my divorce that was exceptional. Even when I was about to acquiesce and concede to the unreasonable demands of my now ex-wife, Jes professionally and conscientiously advised against it. I am pleased that I followed her advice and permitted her to vigorously advocate on my behalf.”
