About Deanna

Deanna Rusch is a highly respected family law and divorce attorney in Vancouver, Washington recognized for her intellect and humor. Deanna has a straightforward yet kind approach to solving her clients’ challenges. Her practice includes all areas of family law, with an emphasis on complex divorce, relocation, inter-state, and UCCJEA issues. She is especially skilled in assisting divorce clients who own businesses or other complex financial assets. She represents clients in Clark County, Cowlitz County, Skamania County, Klickitat County, and Pacific County.
Deanna starts each case by learning about her clients and their personal goals. She explains, in plain language, how the law fits with those goals and develops a strategy to protect their interests. “It doesn’t have to be terrifying,” Deanna says. “Rather, it can be a new beginning. I’m here to solve my clients’ challenges and take the stress off their shoulders as we figure out how to move them and their family forward.”
Deanna has been ranked a Rising Star by Washington Super Lawyers every year since 2010 and has been named a “Washington Outstanding Young Lawyer” by Seattle Met magazine. While the legal complexities of family law can be a challenge, Deanna tackles issues head-on and makes sure her clients feel the relief of having a dedicated attorney by their side.
Deanna is a Pacific Northwest native, having grown up splitting her time between the suburbs of Seattle and the suburbs of Portland. She is a die-hard football fan—Seattle Seahawks and University of Washington Huskies, in particular. She lives in Camas with her 2 dogs, Rocky (age 13) and Adrianne (age 2), and enjoys being active in her community.
