    Loren L.

  • “Mr. Palmer was excellent at handling my very difficult and emotional divorce. During what was undoubtedly one of my most difficult and challenging times in my life, Mr. Palmer was a bold and staunch advocate in protecting my security and needs. He has excellent communication skills, as well as knowledge. I am deeply grateful to him and I highly recommend him to anyone.”

    Kay S.

  • "Steve was compassionate, professional, and thorough when handling several drug-related matters for my daughter. He was able to reach an agreement that was amenable to all parties. He is highly respected in the courts of Snohomish and Island County. Another remarkable and positive quality about Steve is that he always returns phone calls. We were very happy with his representation and will recommend his services to others."

    Sally N.

  • "My wife and I are honored to let everyone know of the wonderful job that Mr. Palmer did for us. Without Steve's compassionate and diligent expertise, we fear our grandson would still be in a home of alcohol abuse and domestic violence. He expertly guided us through the emergency guardianship to rescue our grandson then worked diligently to protect him with a six year minor guardianship. We are forever grateful to Steve."

    Fred & JoLynn J.

  • "With limited mobility and having lost my wife after 69 years of marriage, I needed a good lawyer. And I found one. Not only did Mr. Palmer take care of all necessary end of life documents and give advice on related matters, but he came to my house to do it, bringing with him his notarizing equipment and an associate to serve as a witness where needed. He was knowledgeable, empathetic, and very helpful. I give him my highest recommendation."
