You deserve a top rated law firm that you can trust to help you following an accident, or criminal investigation. Our experienced lawyers at Durflinger Oliver & Associates have a proven track record of protecting clients, and helping them move forward in life. Things are almost never as bad as they seem. Call us, and we can help put your mind at ease with a smart plan of attack. If you have been charged with a crime, received a traffic ticket, or have been injured because of someone’s negligence, the choice you make in an attorney will have long lasting consequences. Criminal charges can result in Article 15 and Chapter proceedings, jail, fines, and treatment. All of these things are expensive, and potentially life altering. Traffic tickets, while less serious, can affect your insurance rate, and even your license. An accident can result in massive hospital bills, suffering and bankruptcy. When you need help, our team is here for you. At Durflinger Oliver & Associates you don't have to settle for a single attorney when you can hire a team of experienced lawyers to fight for you. Our attorneys have a half century of collective litigation experience. That means you can rest assured that your case will receive the benefit of 50 years of courtroom practice and experience working with judges, insurance adjusters, and opposing attorneys. Best of all, you get this team at a great value, so you don't have to settle for a single, less experienced lawyer. Founding Partner and Of Counsel attorney James Oliver paid for college by serving in the Army Reserves. In college, he co-captained his university’s NCAA Men’s Volleyball team. As a result of his athletic experience and military service, he understands the value of a team, and the needs and concerns of service members and their families. That’s why he built this firm, and that’s why he instituted the Military Discount offered to service members by Durflinger Oliver & Associates. Founding partner Natalie Durflinger graduated with honors from both the University of Washington and Gonzaga School of Law. At Gonzaga, Natalie was a Thomas More Scholar, and founded the university’s American Civil Liberties Chapter, serving as President.

She has an established reputation as an aggressive defense attorney who is respected by judges and prosecutors alike. Natalie also has shared her Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure knowledge as a College Adjunct Professor. Senior Associate Martha McLaughlin heads up the firm’s Personal Injury section. She is an Honors Graduate from the University of Puget Sound, and also from Seattle University School of Law. Martha's husband of 30 years is a retired Air Force officer, so Martha knows the difficulties endured by service members and their families. She also knows how to protect you and your family following an accident, or criminal charges. As a former prosecutor, she has been on both sides of the fight and understands what judges are looking for. Martha’s dedicated personal injury paralegal brings three decades of injury litigation experience to the firm, and the two professionals work closely with the firm’s other attorneys to ensure exceptional results for each of our clients.

She has won cases as simple as traffic infraction to as complex as federal drug trafficking and everything in between. As head of the Felony Section, Tracey decides which cases the firm will accept, and which staff to assign as support. Her reputation as a “street fighter” has been earned through countless negotiations, hearings, motions, and trials. After 14 years of practice in Western Washington, Tracey has a great understanding of, and appreciation for, the sacrifices of our service members and their families, and she works hard to protect them.

Attorney Griffin is a practicing lawyer in the state of Washington.

When I started my law career, my goal was to make a positive social impact on the community. If I can use my gifts and skills to better the life of someone else — especially during times as trying as these circumstances — then I’ve done my job. For me, being an attorney is about more than accomplishing a childhood dream. It’s about being a voice for the voiceless and a guide for the people and families who deserve justice. This is my purpose — and it’s one that can make a difference in cultivating a promising future for you. I’ve helped people from all walks of life receive financial compensation for their personal injury cases. As a result, not only did they get the money they needed, but their minds were put to ease and they had peace in moving forward with their lives. Personal injuries are devastating for everyone involved, especially the person who was hurt. From medical negligence to nursing home abuse and accidents of various kinds, my life’s work is built around helping people in these situations take a breath and take control. In addition to skills, there are three key factors that I believe a good attorney needs to build a trusting relationship with their clients: experience, friendliness, and thoroughness. In working with me, you’ll find that I’m well seasoned in law, I genuinely care about your well-being, and my attention to detail excels most. With 27 years of practicing law, you can be confident that I’ll do what it takes in my fight for you. When you look at how things stack up right now, it may feel like you don’t have a lot of control. You may feel helpless and forsaken like you’re up the creek without a paddle. Expenses may be piling up and that can just add to the stress you're already experiencing. I’m here to let you know that you have a lot more command than you think. I can help you experience how good it feels to have the might of the law in your corner. I’ll listen intently to all the details of your case and, together, we can figure this thing out. Your welfare is my main concern. Schedule a time to talk with me today and let’s begin to move some of the stress off your plate.

Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans forcing the evacuation of my family. Initially we moved to rural Georgia, then to Minnesota and finally to the Pacific Northwest. After undergoing my own divorce and multiple relocations due to Hurricane Katrina, I truly understood what it meant to put the “best interest of the kids” ahead of my own, I decided to focus my practice on family law and serving as a Guardian ad Litem advocating for children's best interest in high-conflict divorce and dependency matters. I pride myself on my ability to work through huge problems and major life transitions. If Hurricane Katrina did not stop me but instead propelled me to my passion - families - then no problem is too big and no transition too messy. I know what it's like to be a "stay at home" mom thrust back into work in order to survive. I know what it takes to juggle a demanding career and a large family. I strive to preserve civility and respect during the divorce process. I educate my clients on the impact of conflict on children so they can make the best decisions for the future health of their family. I work closely with my clients to ensure they understand their options and rights so that they can make informed decisions about their future. I bring a breadth of experience with high-conflict families to every family law case I handle. My goal is to serve each client on an individual basis. I strive to find real-life workable solutions for the families I serve, realizing that a marriage might be over but a family still stands. My practice involves all aspects of family law: preparation of postnuptial and separation agreements, parenting plans, child support, simple and complex financial cases, relocation, and blended families. I am collaboratively trained and have had 40 hours of mediation training. I have a deep understanding of complex parenting issues which clients may face when divorcing. I bring the attention to detail and experience required to capably handle complex financial cases. Families run full speed 24/7. Our team at Elise Buie Family Law Group does too. We are available to you when you need us. Family law feels like an emergency room at times; people popping in with unforeseen problems at all hours of the day, night and on weekends. You can always reach me- I give my cell number to my clients. Oftentimes when a client calls at the beginning of what seems like a crisis, we can divert the storm with a little creative problem-solving and education. Having an emotionally available attorney who understands your rights and will frankly explain your responsibilities is an essential resource during your divorce.
