Stehekin Family Lawyers

I have been doing adoption work for many years and I keep my practice small so I can devote more personal attention to each matter. I work on a fixed-fee basis as much as possible so my clients can take full advantage of the personal service I provide without worrying about the cost. Even if you do not work with me, please use an attorney with adoption expertise to handle your adoption-related matter. You can find skilled, ethical adoption attorneys on the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys website - www.adoptionattorneys.org.

I spent my formative years here in the Northwest in a little town called Bigfork, located on Flathead Lake in Montana. It was during those years that I grew to love the mountains and all that this part of the country has to offer. There was rarely a time in my life that I did not dream of coming back to the Northwest. As fate would have it, in 2006 I was able to come back and start practicing law in the area. I live just outside Colville, with my wife and two children, on a piece of property close...

Experience Matters!

I am originally from the Western and Central regions of Oklahoma. I was born and had lived in Oklahoma all my life. But, after visiting the beautiful state of Washington in the Fall of 2013, I decided to make the Pacific Northwest my new home. I packed up my family and our belongings and moved to Tacoma in 2015.
