Frequently Asked Questions
Legal issues are stressful. Our Washington lawyers are here to help!
Family Law
How much does a divorce lawyer cost in Vancouver, WA?
There is no average range of what a typical dissolution action or parenting plan action may cost. How much your case will cost depends on the time spent on the matter. There are numerous factors that influence how much it will cost, such as: 1) How many motions need to be filed, 2) How many court appearances you/your attorney might have, 3) As a client, how much contact you are having with our office, and 4) Is the other side responsive. All of these play into how much a dissolution costs. The more amicable you are with the other side, the lower the total cost is.

What questions should I ask a potential divorce lawyer?
Finding the right divorce attorney is important as you will be working closely with your attorney during what could be a very difficult time in your life. Here are some questions that you should ask during your consultation to determine if the attorney is a right fit for your situation.
- How often will we communicate about my case?
- What is your strategy for my case?
- What is your approach to settlement?
- Do you specialize in family law, and how many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you reach out-of-court divorce settlement agreements?
- Do you know the attorney my spouse has hired?
- Do you prefer to reach agreements when possible, or do you prefer to go to trial?
- How much do you charge and what are some ways I can reduce costs in my case?
- Will you be handling all aspects of my case personally or will I be working with a team?
- What is your preferred method of communication?
- What documents and evidence should I begin to gather now for my case?

Trusts, Wills, and Estate Admin
How much does it cost to set up a will with your Law firm in Vancouver, WA?
Can you help with setting up a trust?
Yes. Attorneys at Navigate Law Group can assist in setting up a trust-based estate plan. The goal of a trust-based estate plan is to avoid probate, which is the court-supervised process of administering an estate. A trust-based estate plan can make for a more streamlined administration process, but is more complex to set up than a will-based estate plan. Attorneys at Navigate Law Group can advise on whether setting up a trust is a good option based on the client’s estate planning goals.

I am looking to purchase some business assets. Can you help?
Yes. Asset purchase agreements, whether for all or only a part of a business’s assets, should be carefully drafted to ensure all of the parties’ expected terms: purchase price, payment structure, interest rate, securitization, events of default, escrow, and clear, complete identification of the assets themselves. Navigate Law Group can help you consider these issues and more.
