Tom Kruse

I have been practicing law in the State of Washington for 23 years, primarily doing family law, bankruptcy, and probate. I focus on divorces, paternity, child support, parenting plan modifications, adoptions, Chapter 7, and discharge type.

I graduated from law school and originally practiced in Kansas and Iowa the first two years before moving to the State of Washington in 1985. I have lived and practiced law in Snohomish County since that time.

Over the last 25 years practicing law, I have done thousands of cases in the areas in which I practices; i.e. bankruptcy, family law, divorce, and probate. I have handled simple and complex cases. For a simple case, I will work for a flat rate fee rather than by the hour. I have had cases that involved extensive litigation including trial. I have participated in the motions calendar as well as in trial in all areas of my practice. In my family law practice I have gotten custody for both mothers and fathers. I have handled cases with extensive property, extensive debt, and have frequently handled difficult custody litigation including litigation involving sexual abuse, domestic violence, alcohol, and drug use by parents.
