Hire Lewis
I interviewed 6 attorneys before landing on Lewis. I'm so glad I found him. He is so clear, generous with his professional knowledge, and does not waste your time. As someone who works with attorneys all day, I can openly state that this is a high-quality attorney. Look no further. Hire Lewis.

Exceeded Every Expectation
When I was looking for a lawyer, I knew I needed someone who could navigate a complex and challenging situation with intelligence, strategy, and confidence. Natalie at Pacific Cascade Legal, along with her paralegal Shanni, exceeded every expectation. Natalie has been described as a bulldog, and that reputation is well-earned—but what makes her exceptional is that she doesn’t just bulldoze. She’s incredibly smart, strategic, and thoughtful, knowing exactly when to push and when to hold back. She has the emotional intelligence to read the courtroom, the courage to stand firm, and the foresight to make decisions that not only strengthened my case in the moment but also set me up for long-term success. Over the course of an 18-month legal process that was often delayed by opposing tactics, Natalie and Shanni remained patient, supportive, and steadfast. Natalie anticipated challenges, adapted quickly to unexpected twists, and even used the opposition’s missteps to our advantage. At critical moments, her decisions made all the difference. Beyond their legal expertise, what truly set Natalie and Shanni apart was their willingness to collaborate and ensure I was informed and confident throughout the process. They took the time to explain my options, listen to my concerns, and incorporate my insights. Navigating the legal system can be overwhelming, but working with them was empowering. For anyone facing a complex legal battle, I can’t recommend Natalie and her team highly enough. Their combination of skill, strategy, and support made all the difference in my case.

Professional and Attentive Service
I began the process of hiring an attorney for a custody matter in February of 2024 that wrapped up end of 2024 after a trial in superior court.
Initial process: This was painless and the firm was quick to return my call and schedule an appointment with their family law attorney in Vancouver, Michael Trotter.
Initial Consultation: This went smoothly, Michael was informative and attentive. He provided me a quote for his services to get me through trial (more on this later).
First appointment: Michael's paralegal got in touch right away to schedule an in-office appointment to go over my case in detail and plan for our next steps. Their office was proper and professional as were Michael and his team.
Court information and appearances: I had several hearings due to the nature of my case and mostly due to the respondent's actions. Michael and the Paralegal team were on point during these hearings and were forthcoming with information and what we needed to present our case. They were on time, professional, and provided insight when necessary. They also left me room to make decisions if it was ok but gave me the tools to make an informed decision. I was provided information for the hearings I was to attend, once I was given the wrong Zoom link but nobody is perfect.
The Paralegal team: I want to shout out the Paralegal team as they were absolutely fantastic. As you do in these situations, most interactions you will have will be with them and not your attorney (this is cheaper, after all) so I spent a lot of time going back and forth with them. I felt like they cared about me and the outcome of my case. They worked hard sorting through the pile of evidence I provided them and in the end, educated Michael on my case and what was needed at trial. Thank you, Jeannette and Missy!
Trial and outcome: My family court trial was at the end of 2024. I can say with certainty it was far less stressful with Michael and team on my case. Michael came prepared with evidence and questions and was a professional attorney at trial. They had me and my child's best interest in mind and it showed the entire time. As for the outcome, though my case was pretty cut and dry, it was in our favor. Can't ask for much more than that.
Financial aspect: Boy, was this expensive. I think it's no secret that lawyers aren't cheap. Michael quoted me services for trial upfront but it came out to several thousand dollars above that. My situation was particular though, as most are, as the respondent in my case filed a few frivolous motions that took us back to court costing me much more money. I didn't have this money lying around and had to beg and borrow as much as I could to get through it. That said, the peace of mind dealing with the legal system was worth the cost for me and my child especially with the outcome. A special shout out and thank you to the billing team at PCFL for putting up with me.
Advice (NOT legal):
1. At the very least consult an attorney (or several) before going to court. I can highly recommend Pacific Cascade in Vancouver for Family Law matters.
2. Regardless of any quotes given for cost, study and understand the fee schedule they send and expect to pay more.
3. Catalog and provide all evidence you have as soon as you can to your legal team so they have an easier time building your case.
This was three years of my life, the last year spent under the care and guidance of Michael, Jeannette, Missy, and the rest of Pacific Cascade. They saved me so much confusion and heartache the last year that I wish I'd hired them sooner.
Thank you!!!
