Family Law Office Hours
Every Wednesday, I hold office hours for people handling their own family law cases. Book a 50-minute Zoom session to get focused legal advice from a Washington family law attorney, and leave with a clear plan.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Book and pay online.
Pick a Wednesday time slot and pay for the session when you book. You will complete a short intake form so I can check for conflicts and get some background on your case before we meet.
2. We meet for 50 minutes on Zoom.
Bring your questions and your paperwork. I will give you direct legal advice, help you understand your options, and help you draft or fix documents during our time together.
3. You leave with a plan.
Any documents we work on get emailed to you before the session ends. The session is over, and so is the engagement. You are back in the driver's seat with clear next steps. Need another hour down the road? Book another session.
PRICING
$350 per 50-minute session, paid in full when you book.
Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice and no-shows are nonrefundable.
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED
Ongoing representation. The attorney-client relationship starts and ends with the session.
Court appearances, filings, or communication with the other side or their lawyer.
Any work between sessions. Everything happens inside your booked hour.
Deadline tracking or reminders. You stay in charge of your case and your calendar.
A full case file. I keep an archival copy of session documents, but I do not open a separate file or track your matter.

Plain-English answers about your divorce, parenting plan, support, or modification questions
Help drafting or editing documents during the session, emailed to you before we hang up
A clear-eyed read on your options and what to do next
One flat price, paid up front, with no billing surprises
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. When you book, you will provide the names of everyone involved in your case. I run a conflict check before each session. If a conflict turns up, I will cancel the session and refund you in full.
-
It means I am your attorney for exactly one 50-minute session and nothing more. You get real legal advice during the session, but I am not your lawyer after it ends. I will not file anything, appear in court, or do any work between sessions. You can book another session whenever you need one.
-
It means you represent yourself. You are the one filing documents, meeting deadlines, and showing up in court. My job during office hours is to make sure you know what you are doing.
-
Cancel at least 24 hours before your session for a full refund. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice and no-shows are nonrefundable.
-
Your questions, first. Then anything relevant: court orders, filed documents, draft agreements, financial paperwork, or correspondence from the other side. The more organized you are, the more ground we cover in the hour.
-
I keep an archival copy of the documents we work on, filed by date and name in a single Office Hours archive. I do not open a separate file per client or track your matter between sessions.
-
Washington family law: divorce and legal separation, parenting plans and custody, child support, and post-divorce modifications. If your issue falls outside that, please do not book a session.

Talia Lauren, JD, LLM
Hi, I’m Talia. I’m a Washington family law attorney and the founder of Trailhead Law, PLLC.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked on just about every type of divorce case, from fully agreed situations to high-conflict litigation. What that experience has shown me is that the healthiest divorces rarely happen in court. They happen when people have clear information, steady guidance, and the support they need to make thoughtful decisions about their future.
I believe there is a better way to end a marriage than an ugly courtroom battle. One that is more efficient, more respectful, and far less expensive than the traditional litigation model. My focus is on helping people move through divorce without unnecessary conflict, confusion, or financial strain.
Whether you already have an agreement in place or need help getting there, I will guide you through each step and help keep the legal process simple. The goal is to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and as little stress as possible.
