Paul Battan Attorney At Law

In 2020, my parents died within the span of months. Suddenly, I was the executor of two estates (one in-state and the other out) with no idea what to do. Paul Battan handled my dad’s Washington state probate. Having worked with two attorneys through essentially the same process, I can tell you Paul is the attorney you want to have. I worked directly with Paul through the probate process rather than with a paralegal. As a result, my questions were answered quickly and I had confidence that he knew exactly what was happening with the case at all times. When you reach out to Paul, he responds within a few hours. With the other attorney, I felt like I had to leave multiple, follow up messages before he got back to me often many days later. Finally, Paul goes above and beyond. When I mentioned some problems we were having with the other attorney regarding the sale of estate property, Paul looked into that state’s legal code and sent me a section to share with the other attorney that seemed to address the problem. I have recommended Paul a number of times and will continue to do so. He’s a caring person who made a difficult process easier and even made me laugh at a time when there wasn’t much to laugh about.

I understand the need for attorneys in divorce cases. I understand that compromises must be made, and more often than not neither party leaves feeling that justice prevailed. What I don’t understand is the use of children as pawns to be paraded as legal leverage and dragged through the courts while innocent toddlers. I wish somebody would explain this to Atty Paul Battan. I so sincerely wish that someone could convey to Paul that kids are not legal “play things” to be immersed in the courts at a child’s expense and loss of innocence. Select another attorney. Do that for your child.

Paul did a great job helping me with my divorce. Paul was up front, honest, and true to his word when explaining things to me and fighting for me. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for legal advice and services!

Paul is a nice guy but a terrible negotiator. Went into our meeting he said absolutely everything 50/50 then after meeting my ex and her attorney proceeded to negotiate everything to her advantage, even valuing assets differently to her advantage. I was in shock! After the meeting I released him as my attorney and looking back what he’d done he apologized and refunded my money. He had no explanation for his bizarre actions.

Jennifer Pearson has been such a delight to work worth. She's understanding, actually listens, and explains processes and likeliness of outcomes. She's hard working and dedicated to her clients and is proof there's still a few lawyers that actually have compassion and not just looking for a pay check. All this with 20+years of experience! You will not be disappointed with her services.
