Everett, WA family law attorney Sabrina Layman talks about the philosophy that guides her work and the most rewarding aspect of her practice. She shares that her personal guiding principle is honesty. Clients are not met with what they want to hear or what they assume they should know; instead, they receive a clear and truthful assessment of their case. This includes honesty about potential outcomes, as well as the emotional, physical, and financial costs involved. In family law, where matters are inherently balanced and equity is central, providing honest guidance ensures clients are prepared for all possibilities and are not surprised by court decisions.

The attorney believes that approaching every case and question with honesty builds trust between the client and the legal process. One of the most rewarding aspects of working in family law is assisting individuals in difficult circumstances. Clients often come to the office during challenging periods in their lives, and through careful guidance and support, they are able to navigate the legal system and achieve outcomes that leave them in a stronger, more positive position. This process allows the attorney to help clients regain confidence and stability, making the work both meaningful and impactful.
