The Hemmat Law Group has diligently served individuals, families, and parents in the
Pacific Northwest for decades.

As a boutique firm of family lawyers, we possess extensive experience in family law, probate, civil litigation, and commercial real estate management.

Our firm prides itself in handling a wide variety of legal issues, problems, and cases. We routinely navigate contested and high asset divorces, international divorces, protection orders, harassment, international child abductions, support & alimony disputes, and much more.

We are driven by values of empathy, integrity and honesty and we are acutely aware of the inequities in the legal landscape. We are familiar with the challenges faced by members of the LGBTQ+ community, alienated fathers, abused spouses, and neglected children.

We know that the law can be overwhelming, and often our cases involve sensitive and emotionally fraught life situations. We are dedicated to making sure that we use clear, straightforward communication so you can understand any options and risks clearly. Our family lawyer team is committed to ensuring equal treatment, rights, and protections for all our clients.

We are proud to work with clients employed at:

Values of Practice

Hemmat Law Group is governed by principles of integrity, fair access, honesty and empathy, built on the foundation of legal rigour and extensive experience. Our values underpin all we do.

We Execute Function Over Form.
View all

We are ambitious, but not ruthless. We have high standards and a commitment to integrity, but we are never sanctimonious. Being deliberate in our aggression is key to our client’s victory.

We Play the Long Game.
View all

Attorneys and clients alike are victims of the same system. Sometimes, frustrating circumstances can tempt litigators to lash out in pointless and expensive anger. We never forget we are safeguarding our client’s families.

We Embrace Challenges.
View all

We acknowledge case weaknesses. Our job as your counsel is to guide best outcomes. No situation is perfect, and so we will sometimes be candidly honest about risks and concerns to make sure you understand the potential results of a case.

We Build Success.
View all

We are advocates; Not invaders. We litigate to build positive outcomes, not to tear down relationships and institutions. We are assertive when required, but we remain respectful and dignified.

We Improve Access.

We offer flexible payment terms and retainer-less engagements, and can recommend fee financing, to bring our services to as many people as possible. We keep costs in mind.

We Understand

We’ve seen it all before, but that doesn’t mean we don’t care. Each case is very personal to those involved, and our team leads with empathy.
