Kelsey, our Paralegal was the most kind, polite, and genuine person to work with. We hit a ton of road blocks with people and issues in our case, but she helped as much as she could and while I did what I could, it made the process move forward smoothly as possible! If you need a team that Cares, Transparent, and Works with you, look no further! I will be referring all who needs help to Partovi!

I'm the opposing party and giving them 5 stars should say something. Dave Partovi is one of the very few lawyers I've known to be honest, genuinely caring and respectful to all parties involved. He's earns his wins with integrity and hard work not with lies and dirty tricks. If he wasn't my ex's lawyer already, I'd hire him in a second.

Understanding Fault
"Fault" in the context of divorce simply means that a spouse did something that caused the marriage to fail. Examples of fault include abuse or cruelty, adultery, abandonment, and imprisonment.
Washington: No-Fault State
Washington is a no-fault state, meaning parties do not need to claim any wrongdoing on the part of their spouse in order to file for divorce, and any actions like adultery will have no bearing on the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that if your marriage is ending, you are probably anxious to gain some idea of what to expect in the coming months. Our Spokane firm has listed some answers to frequently asked questions in order to give you a frame of reference before you meet with Mr. Partovi:
Do I really need a divorce lawyer?
While it is not required that you have a divorce attorney during your divorce, having a lawyer can prove invaluable. The outcome of a divorce can affect you and your children for the rest of your lives. A divorce attorney can work to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
How much does a divorce lawyer cost?
Having a divorce attorney like David Partovi on your side can be an incredible asset that can actually save you money over time by making sure arrangements like spousal support are fair. Attorney fees range from $5,000 to $20,000 on average, depending on the complexity of your case. We require a $5,000 retainer. Our consultations are free, and once you sit down and discuss your case, we will be able to give you a more accurate estimate of your costs.
How does a retainer work?
A retainer fee is a payment made to us in advance as a down payment on future services. This retainer stays at $5,000 throughout the process of your case. For instance, if $1,000 is spent on the client’s case in one month, we will ask the client to replenish the $1,000 to set us up for success the next month. At the end of your case, the remaining balance that was not used will be given back to you.
How long does a divorce take?
This varies with each case, but many divorces can take as long as a year. Straightforward, uncontested cases will move much faster than complex or contested cases. It is also important to remember that court schedules are based on availability. While you may have an uncontested divorce, your court date may be weeks in the future, depending on the judge's caseload.
What does "uncontested" mean?
"Uncontested" simply means both parties agree to the terms of the divorce and there are no disagreements with the terms. If one or both parties cannot agree, then it becomes a contested divorce that is likely to take longer. Family law attorney David Partovi can handle both uncontested and contested divorces to ensure your best interests are met.
My spouse committed adultery. Will this have any bearing on my divorce?
This depends on where you file. In Washington, it will have no influence on the outcome except in very rare cases, such as a spouse spending large amounts of money on a partner out of wedlock. If you choose to make these claims in court, they must be proven. David Partovi can help you gather pertinent evidence.
We offer free consultations to men and women interested in speaking with a divorce lawyer. If you live in Washington and you are considering a divorce, contact our Spokane office today to schedule your case review with Mr. Partovi.
