About Kenneth Christensen

In the last twenty years I have over 60 court appointments as an investigator in guardianship cases (guardian ad litem), and have successfully helped protect vulnerable adults and incapacitated people from exploitation. I also have the uncommon distinction of several published family law appeals in addition to more usual family law experience. My colleagues know me as a thorough researcher and conscientious advocate. The cases that engage me the most involve clients who have been subjected to abuse or exploitation. As background, I started practice in New York City after excellent college and law school back East, but I wanted to move back here (I grew up in Bellevue when it was a much smaller town). I did move when my father died suddenly, so I let my Eastern bar memberships go and took two years to help my mother with her horse nursery in Enumclaw. I worked back into law here by clerking for our general trial court in Seattle, then working with other attorneys on a variety of cases, and finally building my own practice gradually. I find that working one-on-one with clients is very satisfying.
