Dedicated. Prepared. Accessible. Compassionate.
I believe there is a solution to every problem and that people should not be defined by their worst moments. Humans are resilient and with the right advocacy, anything can be accomplished. Working with me and my team you will know you got the best result possible and will never be in the dark about the status of your case. Our practice is results oriented and focused on client communication. We provide non-judgmental and efficient representation with an emphasis on achieving client goals. My practice focuses on complex family law including cases involving tech workers, professionals, business owners, and those with closely held businesses. I also spend signficant time working with clients in cases involving domestic violence and on prenuptial, postnuptial, and cohabitation agreements. As a former criminal trial lawyer, my experience representing clients in both criminal and family law gives me a unique perspective that is advantageous when there are charges pending, protection orders in place or being sought, and/or a family law case happening simultaneously. I understand how to best protect your interests in all of these arenas. My team will work with you to make sure you know what decisions to make at every juncture to achieve the best possible outcome for you, your family, and your future. Whether you are negotiatinga resolution, in mediation, or litigating, family law is stressful. I aim to act as a buffer between you and that stress. Listen, court can be stressful for clients. I make sure all of my clients know what to expect and if we are litigating, go in to court prepared and with the security of experience on their side. Careful and well-informed negotiation is critical to securing successful resolutions. We offer the flexibility of experience to litigate aggressively on your behalf when needed or reach solutions borne of a more collaborative approach, dependent upon your needs. If you have a problem, we can help you find your solution so please reach out.
Prior to starting Dellino Law Group, I worked for a large public defender office and other law firms in the greater Seattle area gaining extensive experience defending criminal charges and handling family law matters. Prior to private practice, I srved as a judicial staff attorney in Washington State Superior Court for Kitsap County. As an attorney providing support to four busy trial court judges, I analyzed legal motions in all areas of law, especially in cases involving complex issues, and recommended how a judge should rule on the motion. My work at the Court helped me understand how judges respond to arguments made by attorneys. This makes me an extremely effective advocate in the courtroom. When not working, I stay active in the community through my volunteer work with the King Co. Bar Association Neighborhood Legal Clinic program and various animal rescues. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, my four dogs (yes, I said four), getting outdoors, travel, and New York Yankee baseball. I abhor apathy.
