Our Firm:

Rao & Pierce is a full service litigation firm dedicated to excellence, cost-​effectiveness, and superior customer service. We assist a diverse clientele on a variety of personal and professional matters, including non-​litigation areas such as estate planning, business law, bankruptcy and immigration. Although our litigation expertise is most comprehensive in family law, we excel at a wide variety of civil litigation including real estate, personal injury, and business disputes.

Dependable & Flexible:

Because our clients lead busy lives, evening and weekend appointments are often available. While customer service always starts and ends with good people, Rao & Pierce also believes in using technology to make our services more convenient to clients. In addition to fax and mail, we are happy to send and receive scanned .pdf documents by email.

Just five minutes from downtown Seattle, Rao & Pierce’s relaxed neighborhood offices are easily accessible from both I-​5 and I-​90.
