Lee, was an accountant and my mentor. I learned a great deal about the IRS from him at an early age. Both my father and my sister were also attorneys in Tacoma, Washington. I studied Federal Tax Law at Seattle University School of Law in 1985. Upon graduation in 1988, I started my practice at Sterbick, Abel, & Sterbick. Through my tax practice, I learned that many tax debts can be discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy or paid through Chapter 13. I began practicing bankruptcy law in 2009. My firm has discharged literally millions of dollars of IRS debt for my clients. I am admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court, the United States District Court, and the Washington State Superior Court. I am a member of the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association and the Washington State Bar Association. I am married and blessed with my wonderful wife and children. When I'm not doing things with my family in my spare time, I enjoy ballroom dancing and the game of golf.

Attorney Kallie Ferguson is a Washington family law attorney who brings a steady, thoughtful approach to representing clients in high-stakes, emotionally charged matters. She works with individuals and families across King, Pierce, Snohomish, Thurston, and Kitsap counties, helping them navigate divorce, custody disputes, parenting plan matters, and other family law issues with clarity, pragmatism, and care. Before focusing her practice on family law, Kallie served as a trial attorney in public defense across multiple Washington counties. She first-chaired more than 20 trials and managed hundreds of cases involving complex facts, urgent timelines, and significant personal stress. That courtroom experience informs her family law practice today, particularly in cases involving conflict, safety concerns, or the need for disciplined preparation and careful courtroom strategy. Kallie understands that family law is rarely just about legal rights. She focuses on helping clients make sound decisions during difficult periods by listening closely, asking focused questions, and helping them distinguish between what feels urgent and what will truly move their case forward. Clients value her calm presence, clear explanations, and honest guidance about risks and legal options, including how certain choices or communications may affect the outcome of their case. At Lutz & Associates, Kallie works as part of a concerted family law team with experienced attorneys who provide strategic insight and support where needed. This team-based approach ensures that clients benefit not only from Kallie’s preparation and advocacy, but also from the depth of experience and oversight within the firm. In addition to her litigation background, Kallie brings experience from complex regulatory and compliance environments, reinforcing her commitment to careful preparation, clear communication, and credibility with the court. Kallie earned her law degree from Seattle University School of Law and is admitted to practice in Washington State. At Lutz & Associates, she is dedicated to providing steady advocacy and practical advice, along with the confidence that comes from working with an attorney who is prepared, supported, and genuinely invested in helping clients move forward.
